Independence overall a wonderful thing. Our country was founded on the desire for independence, free thinkers, and risk takers. We encourage young children to be independent. Buyers of Real Estate enjoy a certain amount of independence being able to surf the Internet.  That is, after all how many of them find us in the first place. 

 But at some point, is it necessary to relinquish some control, and allow the professional you have selected in effect, hired, to do their job. The job you are ultimately paying them to do which is to facilitate a transaction that will ultimately conclude with the successful purchase of a property you have selected.   That means forming a PARTNERSHIP with that professional.

INDEPENDENCE IS AN ASSET WHEN:

  • You are beginning the search for a home                   
  • You are looking at the options available to you
  • You have researched which Realtor and Financial Advisor you would like to work with.
  • You have explored neighborhoods you would consider buying in.
  • You have determined what type of home you want.
  • You have determined how much home you can afford.

 

        INDEPENDENCE BECOMES A CRIPPLING  HINDRANCE WHEN:

  • You don't maintain contact with your professional prior to writing an offer.
  • Don't ask questions or instructions when you are doing this long distance
  • Don't discuss the best strategy in negotiating an offer price before hand
  • Change or modify a Purchase Agreement on your own
  • Fail to return ALL of the documents and addenda to your agent

      And lastly, Make the Escrow Deposit Check to the wrong party.

 

      The process of buying or selling Real Estate involves numerous steps.  Your Professional REALTOR is there to assist you in this process,by writing viable offers correctly, providing expert assistance, making sure the addenda is included, and advising you on your rights and responsibilties as party to a transaction, resolve problems, schedule tasks, such as inspections, surveys, title work, needed to complete the transaction and help you achieve your goals.  

Don't go it alone- mistakes can be costly in terms of time and money. 

Working together, we can overcome obstacles to closing and make the process so smoothly. 

It is a Partnership with you at the helm.

Geographical separation is not a problem working with buyers as long as we have good communication, we can go over contracts line for line, so that buyers fully comprehend the Purchase Agreement, sign and initial where necessary, and make sure none f the addenda are missing or have been excluded.  Extensive training goes into the completion of a well executed contract.

Good perspective.  If they don't start working WITH their agent they never really get the full service of that agent.  Their independence in such cases is ultimately counterproductive to their interests.

THANKS JIM

I see more and more that buyers often don't realize what they ARE paying us for. Your point is well made often ill timed actions are counterproductive and can be self defeating.

Like trying to call for a home inspection before that have an offer accepted- or assuming brokerages still have escrow accounts (which the vast majority do not) with so much competition in certain price ranges, having to re-write the offer correctly could end up costing them the deal.
