You might not know HOW to find a GREAT Buyer Agent causing worry about buying a home in today's market.
Don't worry, you'll get a SWEET TREAT with CATHY BUREAU, a highly QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED REALTOR who will help you get a SWEET HOUSE DEAL.
Please take a look below to see some SCARY, CREEPY, HAUNTING STATEMENTS you won't hear Cathy Bureau make and why.
1. I'd be happy to drive you around to see EVERY home that you want to see.
A GREAT Buyer Agent will provide consulting services to pair down your choices so you won't see EVERY home, saving you time, money, & frustration.
2. Don't worry about a Buyer's Representation Agreement, it's not really necessary.
Cathy Bureau knows that the Texas Real Estate Commission thinks it is so important that they have provided a disclaimer telling you, who represents whom within the transaction, and that you are not represented by a Buyer Agent until have one. Otherwise the Realtor is a "sub agent" of the Listing Broker and technically represents the seller. Don't let this happen to you!
3. I GUARANTEE that you will make money when you sell your home!
There are NO guarantees. The San Antonio market is stable but nobody has a crystal ball. There are risks and rewards with home ownership. A GREAT Buyer Agent can help you understand this.
4. Buying a home is ALWAYS a GOOD investment.
Everybody has a different idea of what is good, and everybody has a different life plan. A GREAT Buyer Agent will ALWAYS help you determine what the right plan is for you.
5. Buy as much a house as you can AFFORD so that you can maximize your return on investment.
Let me SAY CLEARLY - AFFORD includes your current and future plans. A GREAT Buyer Agent will help you with these considerations.
6. Sure I can help you with a SHORT SALE, I've HEARD of that program before.
A GREAT Buyer Agent not only has HEARD of Short Sales but is CERTIFIED & EXPERIENCED.
7. I'm such a GREAT Realtor I have lots of MY listings to show you. Surely you'll want to buy one of them, only.
A GREAT Buyer Agent will promise to show you ALL homes that meet your needs, not just their personal or office listings.
8. My ASSISTANT will show you properties since I'm so BUSY.
I'm all for having an assistant but when it comes to showing, ONLY a Licensed Realtor may show you, and it should be Cathy Bureau! A GREAT Buyer Agent will help you COMPARE properties and can't do that if not with you on the tour. Cathy Bureau will be, and that's my word.
9. Don't worry about an INSPECTION, it's just a wast of money.
A GREAT Buyer Agent will INSIST that you get a home INSPECTION, because it's that IMPORTANT!
10. CERTAINLY the Seller will PAY ALL of your CLOSING COSTS.
In today's market it is common that the seller will contribute to your closing costs BUT DON'T EXPECT IT, or any at all. BE PREPARED TO PAY ALL. But Cathy Bureau will try her very best to help you obtain the very best deal for you, which may or may not be buyer closings costs.
11. BONUS! This Green thing is just a fad and it doesn't add value to your home.
This is the scariest of them all! It means that the Buyer Agent doesn't understand that saving money on your utility bill, healthier air, & sustainable living means a home is more desirable to own. Cathy Bureau, GREEN, Ecobroker knows!
