Advocacy groups and licensing laws now encourage buyer representation in real estate transactions. Home sellers carefully consider the agent whom they can trust to keep their best interests in mind. Home buyers owe it to themselves to do the same. In the case of most listed properties, Buyer Representation is available at no additional cost to you!
Use of a Buyer's Agent offers many benefits, which include:
* Evaluation of the specific needs and wants of the buyer, and finding properties that fit those individual specifications
* Assistance in determining the amount for which the buyer qualifies, and showing of properties in that price range
* Assistance in viewing properties and/or previewing homes on behalf of the client to insure that the identified specifications are met
* Researching the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help the consumer make an informed decision prior to an offer
* Advising the client on structuring an appropriate offer to purchase the selected property; presentation of the offer to the seller's agent and seller on the client's behalf
* Negotiation on behalf of the buyer client to help obtain the property at the price and terms most favorable to the buyer's interests
* Review and explanation of all contracts, exhibits and addenda with the client
* Recommendation and facilitation of proper financing
* Referral of qualified professionals as needed (attorneys, home inspectors, repairmen, etc.)
Most importantly, the buyer can be confident that he or she is fully represented throughout the entire real estate transactions. To make sure that your interests are top priority, contact a Cornerstone agent today!
