If you're thinking of buying a home, one of your first decisions is whether to work with a buyer's agent.
As the name suggests, a buyer's agent is a real estate agent who represents the buyer in a home sale, as opposed to the listing agent who represents the seller. It's important to understand that just because an agent shows you a house doesn't mean she works on your behalf....read more.
My commentary
If you've read the article you probably reached the conclusion that it is a good move, provided the Realtor(r) has your best interest at heart. It is important that you are in control of the process and have the most complete information possible.
Many agents check the MLS and pick a few homes they think you want. They drive you over to each one and try to sell you one of them. The wrong person is in control.
Many buyers become frustrated by the difficulty in getting the information needed to make an informed decision about buying a home. They drive for hours on weekends through neighborhoods, scan the newspapers and go through the hassle of listening to endless sales pitches from agents over the phone. Some just quit in disgust due to the time and hassle of it all.
My VIP Buyer Profile System takes the hassle factor out of home buying. You receive complete listing information with addresses, maps, pictures, and background data via e-mail that is easy to use. You can pick through the homes that meet your needs, drive by the ones that interest you, and call me when you want to see one on the inside. You are in charge of the homes you want to see. And you are never obligated to buy a home.
Do you think it would help you to have inside information on the house you want to buy?
- Would it be helpful to know what the present owner paid for the home?
- When they bought it? What other homes in the area sold for?
- What about other home-owners in the area not on the MLS that may need to sell?
- What about good deals in Foreclosures or other distress sales?
I'm looking forward to helping you get a good deal on your next home.
