So you've decided to buy a home.
Purchasing real estate is probably one of the most complex transactions you may ever have. It is recommended that you have a buyers representative working in the best interest for you. The best way to be certain that an agent is working in your best interests is by signing a buyer representation agreement.
What is a Buyer Representative?
A real estate buyer’s representative represents a buyer whom is purchasing a property in a real estate transaction. A buyers representative works for, and owes fiduciary responsibilities to, the buyer and has the buyer's best interest in mind throughout the entire real estate process. As your buyers representative I will:
Evaluate your specific needs and wants.
Find you homes that meet your specifications and desires.
Assist you in the mortgage pre-qualifying process and show you homes in your price range.
Accompany you on the showings, or preview the properties on behalf to insure that the identified specifications are met.
Research the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help you the buyer make an informed decision prior to making an offer to purchase the property.
Advise on structuring an appropriate offer to purchase the selected property.
Present the offer to the seller's agent and the seller on my client's behalf.
Assist in securing appropriate financing for the selected property.
Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (e.g. home inspectors, attorneys, carpenters, etc.) if these services are needed.
Most importantly, fully-represent you, the buyer, throughout the real estate transaction.
