Exclusive Buyer

INTRODUCTION

YOU HOLD THE POWER YOU’RE READY TO BUY YOUR FIRST HOME

You’ve saved enough for a down payment, you’ve secured the financing you need, you’ve researched the cities, areas, and neighborhoods to which you’d like to move, and you’ve got a good idea of what’s out there and what to expect. Now it’s just a matter of researching specific homes in your price range, hiring a real estate agent, attending a few open houses, and making a bunch of offers on the homes that strike your fancy or meet most of your criteria, with fingers crossed that the seller accepts your offer and you don’t end up in a bidding war. Right? Well, not exactly. Many buyers assume they are at the mercy of sellers. After all, the seller is looking for the right buyer, the seller wants to score the best deal, and the seller ultimately

determines whether to accept or reject your offer. So, the ball must be in their court, right? Let me put this to you in simple terms: You hold the power. That’s right, you — the buyer. This book, the ultimate guide to buying a home, will explain what that means, show you how to increase your buyer’s advantage, and provide insider secrets that will help you gain the upper hand and get the best deal on your home purchase.
