A Few Things to Do Before Starting Your Home Search

I found out recently that not everyone was aware of the benefits of having a buyer’s agent. Here are just a few of the many advantages of having one.

I just finished up a loan application for a first-time homebuyer and our conversation led us to talk about Realtors. I asked the buyer if she was currently working with a Realtor or not, and she said she wasn’t. She said her plan was to go out and call the listing agents that she sees on the signs if she needs an agent. It struck me that she had no idea about buyer representation and what it does to ensure you’re protected as a buyer.

Having a buyer’s agent is a huge advantage. Not only do they represent your best interest throughout the transaction, they can often help you find homes that match the criteria you’re looking for even if they’re not on the market yet. They also help immensely in negotiations.

If you need a recommendation, we’d be happy to provide one.

So if you or someone you know is thinking about buying a home, first have them come see us to get a pre-approval. Then, it’s time to hire a trusted Realtor. If you need a recommendation, we’d be happy to provide one.

If you have any questions for us in the meantime or need us to connect you with a local Realtor, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
