agent? True to the name, buyer’s agents assist home buyers every step of the way; they can also save you both time and money on the road to homeownership. These real estate agents will work day and night, if you listen to the advice above and find the best one for you, to ensure all your needs and requirements are met when it comes to finding the right home for you.
WHAT BUYER'S AGENTS DO FOR YOU
Your buyer’s agent will have a vast knowledge of the current real estate market for the area, which will include neighborhood amenities and conditions, the law, zoning issues, price trends, negotiations, taxes, financing, and insurance. Once you meet with the buyer’s agent, they’ll generally help you to determine your needs and wants when it comes to finding you a home and a neighborhood. The agent will aid you in learning about what you can afford, help you in setting a budget, provide some insight on the current conditions of the market, and explain what you should expect while shopping for a home. In addition, they will help you find a suitable level of financing. During the shopping-for-a-home period, you’ll probably meet with your agent for tours of homes in which you might be interested. They will give you insight into the floor plans, the home’s pertinent selling points (and their negative points), and information about the neighborhood. They may also provide you with a rundown of cultural activities, work centers, shopping centers and nearby schools. Your agent is also responsible for coordinating all facets of the transaction with the many parties also involved such as home inspectors, attorneys, lenders and other professionals that may need to get involved in the transaction.
