WHAT IS A BUYERS AGENT?
As anxious as every buyer is to get out there looking at properties, the first step in buying a home
should be choosing a REALTOR® to represent you in the process. A REALTOR® is more than
just a real estate agent – they are a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, a
professional organization that requires strict adherence to a code of ethics.
You need a qualified REALTOR® that has the experience and expertise in representing buyers
in the local market – a buyer’s agent. An agent that is not afraid to aggressively promote your
interests, while educating you about the process and the many turns a typical home purchase
may take before closing. Buying a home, whether for the first time or as a seasoned investor,
can be stressful to say the least!
First and foremost, a buyer’s agent works for you, the buyer. They assist you in the steps
necessary before purchasing a home, help you find properties that fit your needs, and represent
you in all negotiations regarding your purchase. Furthermore, a buyer’s agent will coordinate for
you the many details of your closing with the appropriate professionals, and keep you updated
and on track throughout the process.
WHY NOT CALL THE LISTING AGENT DIRECTLY?
A listing agent represents the seller, and is duty bound to promote the seller’s interests over
anyone else’s. In calling a listing agent directly to view a home on the market, you are putting
yourself at a distinct disadvantage should you decide to make an offer. Again, before you go out
looking at properties, interview and hire an agent that will set you off on the right course –
educating you about the process, while both protecting your interests and advocating on your
behalf.
I have represented buyers in the purchase of diverse properties throughout the central valley,
from condominiums to rural homes. Whatever your needs, give me a call and let me put my
extensive experience as a Buyer's Agent to work for you!
