Congratulations! You have decided to purchase a home, or you are thinking about buying one. You'll be joining the ranks of thousands of individuals and families who realize that home ownership offers a number of benefits including building equity, getting tax breaks, saving for the future, and creating a comfortable environment for your family. When you own your home, your hard-earned dollars contribute to your mortgage. The equity you earn is yours and over time your home can also increase in value.

When searching for and purchasing your new home it is wise to obtain some professional help beforehand. Such is a Buyer's Agent, which works exclusively for you and only has your best interest in mind. Below you'll find a list explaining what a Buyer's Agent can and will do for you.

A Buyer's Agent,

  • Establishes a search profile based on your needs and wants for a new home.
  • Explains the home buying process in detail.
  • Locates and pre-views homes for you.
  • Assures that you see all the properties that meet your criteria.
  • Obtains and presents all facts and information regarding the properties which interest you.
  • Supplies you with comparables, as well as other current and relevant real estate market data to enable you to make educated choices and decisions.
  • Guides you through the entire home buying process, from finding homes to look at, to getting the best financing, and finally assists you and your attorney during closing.
  • Makes sure you don't pay too much for your new home and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
  • Assists you with and advises you regarding all negotiations.
  • Helps you with creating and submitting winning offers.
  • Finds and/or suggests sensible solutions for problems which may arise during the process.
  • Creates all needed memorandums, processes, submits and files all necessary paperwork in a timely manner.

This is an excellent list Phyllis. I've been meaning to start a template to hand out to buyers on my first meeting with them. I know these things and verbalize it to them but this gives me a great start on writing my piece, I hope you don't mind :-)

When ever you are talking to buyers they need to know the value of your service.  Nice list for that purpose.

Phyllis, sometimes I think buyers do not realize all the work that goes into putting a successful transaction together. This shows it - great list!
