One More Note About the Value of Your Buyer’s Agent - Though buying a home seems easy, the home buying process is actually full of twists, turns, challenges, issues and disagreements. The process requires a Buyer’s Representative who is reliable and knowledgable about the nuances of getting a client from contract to close. It is a series of mini negotiations that starts as far back as securing a client the opportunity to view an off-market home.
If this is not your first rodeo and you have purchased 5 or 10 homes already, then you already know the conflicts and challenges that can arise when buying a home. You also know that buyers’ agents come in all competencies. Some are simply ill-prepared to manage the acquisition of what is likely your largest asset. By now, you know who to hire and who NOT to hire.
If you are combing through Zillow or driving neighborhoods and calling yard signs, you have probably found that many of the homes you have called about are no longer on the market or are already under contract. As happens quite often, the agent probably hasn’t gotten around to taking the yard sign down or removing the listing from the Internet.
I hope you are beginning to see the value of a quality buyer’s agent. Speaking of value, buyer’s representation is FREE to buyers, because the seller pays the buyer’s agent for you. Still, a buyer’s agent can be expensive to you, if you select the wrong one. I promise you, that if agents cannot clearly articulate their value in their first communications with you, then your experience won’t get any better as you go through your home buying transaction.
Work with someone who is reliable, responsive and professional — someone who will give you the edge and the smiles you deserve!
