GOING THE BUYER'S AGENT ROUTE
So, you’re ready to take the plunge and look for a place to call “home.” To get the most out of it, use a buyer’s agent to avoid a flurry of paperwork, stampedes of buyers competing for the same property, and other challenges. Home buying can be exciting and exhilarating, but it can also be complex and stressful — which is why having a pro by your side can make an enormous difference. 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. When you find the right one for you, these real estate agents will work day and night to ensure all your needs and requirements are met when it comes to finding the right home.
GETTING STARTED WITH A B TED WITH A BUYER’S AGENT
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, price trends, negotiations, taxes, financing, and insurance. Once you meet with the buyer’s agent and sign the buyer’s agreement, they’ll generally help you determine your needs and wants when it comes to finding a home and a neighborhood if you do not have some picked out already. The agent will show you homes that are in your budget, and provide some insight on the current conditions of the market, and explain what you should expect while shopping for a home. During the shopping period, you’ll meet with your agent for tours of homes in which you might be interested.
