Property Search – Your buyer representative will appraise your particular criteria for a house
and neighborhood, then search for properties that fit those specifications. Your buyer
representative will set appointments for showings and monitor the market as new listings
become available.
Market Data – Market value is determined by many factors, including the availability of similar
properties at competitive prices, location, condition, and most of all the price that a
knowledgeable buyer is willing to pay. Your buyer representative will provide market data to
help you establish an offering price.
Purchase Offer – There may be other considerations besides price that are equally important in
structuring a purchase offer. The terms and conditions of the offer, amount of deposit and
possession date are likely to be factors when an offer is made. Your buyer representative will
help in your preparation of a purchase offer.
Negotiating – When a purchase offer is made, the sellers may be concerned with certain aspects
including the ability of the purchasers to fulfill their agreement, the terms and conditions of the
offer, the breakdown of closing costs between buyer and seller and even the motivations and
lifestyle of the prospective new owners! Your buyer representative will help structure a
negotiating strategy that will create the desired result, a new home.
Handling Details – A lot has to happen between signing the purchase offer and moving into a
new house. Your buyer representative will attend to the details and keep you in touch with the
transaction each step of the way. Sellers list their homes with real estate agents to ensure
professional representation.
