Dear Concord, New Hampshire Buyer, 
Educating Buyers on Agency, Explaining what they can expect from me - depending on the Relationship they choose - and working on and within that Relationship....is a major part of my job. It is arguably the most challenging part.
Sadly (for us Realtors) in many cases we (myself included) neglect to educate our Buyers on their part in Agency in regards to us. In other words...what we expect from them.
The list isn't long but in my opinion...it can make or break a good working relationship.
How To Be The Perfect Buyer
- Never go to see a property on your own and if you must go to an Open House without me, hand out my card and explain that you have representation
-
Communicate. communicate, communicate...this by far is the most important! You need to tell me what you're feeling and thinking of the process as we move through it. It should be fun...but won't be if you stress and let something fester
- Be honest with me...I'm on your side!
- Any changes that may affect your financing before we close....tell me about them so that we can attempt to resolve BEFORE we get to the table. Remember, I'm on Your side!
- If we are at a showing where the Listing Agent is present, be friendly but keep your emotions and personal information in check....many a contract negotiation has been compromised by an inadvertant slip of the tongue!
- Be on time to showings if we are meeting there! Remember there are other people there who have schedules to keep...and good feelings during negotiation...go further than bad.
- Lastly...but not leastly...stick to the plan and stay focused!
