Buyer Representation
How I can help...

So, you have decided to move out, move up or move into the area.  If you are like 70% of buyers today you have already searched the Internet for that dream house.  But, have you considered how you are going to get through the process and who is going to look out for your interests?  That is where a “Buyer Representative” or “Buyer Agent” comes into play.

What exactly is a buyer representative? 
A buyer representative works solely for you and has no legal or other responsibilities to the seller.  When working with a buyer representative, you have the advantage of personal representation, independent counseling, loyalty, confidentiality and trust.

What do you mean by “confidentiality?” 
Since a buyer agent is legally obligated to only you, he or she can help you maintain absolute privacy with regard to financial and personal information. 

Does a Buyer Representative make decisions for us?   
Not at all.  As your personal ally, advocating your best interests, a Buyer Representative is obligated to provide you with maximum information about buying a home, each step of the way.  That means disclosing specifics about location, property values, offering price, negotiations, counter offers, contingencies, financing and the entire closing process.  Armed with such vital and detailed information, you’ll be thoroughly prepared to make decisions that are right for you and your family.

What else can a buyer agent do for me? 
He or she can show you any property that is listed in the local Multiple Listing Service as well as real estate owned by banks or homes “For Sale By Owner” plus brand new construction.  In addition, they can create customized computer searches of homes that match your interests and email you as soon as there is a match.  This way, you’ll get the most up to date listings as soon as they are available.  Plus, your buyer agent will handle all of the follow up inquiries from the agents who represent the various sellers during your showings.  This helps keep your privacy and eliminates annoying phone calls to you.

Buyer representation is a valuable & necessary service that I can provide for you!
