The Benefits of Using A Buyers Agent
As a consumer, how often do you buy
property? Once, twice, three times in your lifetime? Purchasing real
estate is a complex and major transaction with many details to be
handled. In the majority of cases the seller will be represented by an
agent. Wouldn't you want to have a complete and fair representation in
the real estate transaction?
The real estate buyer agent is responsible
for protecting their client's best interests. Research by the NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS has shown that when a buyer agent is used, the
prospective buyer found a home one week faster and examined three more
properties than those consumers who did not use a buyer agent.
Using a Buyers Representative offers the
consumer many benefits:
- Evaluate the specific needs and wants
of the buyer and locate properties that fit those specifications.
- Assist the buyer in determining the
amount that they can afford (pre-qualify) and help locate a lender who
can help them with their specific needs such as 100% loans or to search
for the best rate and closing costs. In addition, show properties in
that price range that feels comfortable.
- Assist in viewing properties and
either accompanies the client on the showings or preview properties on
behalf of the client to insure that the identified specifications are
met.
- Research the selected properties to
identify any problems or issues to help the consumer in making an
informed decision prior to making an appropriate offer on the property.
- Advise the client on structuring an
appropriate offer to purchase the selected property.
- Present the offer to the seller's
agent on their client's behalf.
- Negotiate on behalf of the buyer
client to help obtain the identified property. Keep in mind that the
buyer's agent will be doing so with their client's best interest in
mind.
- Review and explain all legal documents
pertaining to the transaction to their buying client.
- Recommendations and assistance in
securing appropriate financing for the selected property.
- Provide a list of potential qualified
movers, inspectors, and carpenters if these services are needed by the
consumer.
What is most important
is that the buyer would know that they are fully represented throughout
the real estate transaction. Call the real estate professionals at
