So you find yourself searching for houses on the Internet. You call some agent's names off signs in front of houses. You think you are a junior real estate agent. This stuff isn't hard. Print out a few pre-printed contract forms, do your own negotiation. What could go wrong? You should know there are
Reasons To Sign Up With A Buyers Agent.
First off they know their stuff. Do you know if you are not represented you are called a Customer? Basically with not many specific services assigned to you by ANY agent. Yet with representation, you move to the highly prized CLIENT category with a lot of "good stuff" you now get. Some reasons to use a buyers agent:
- you get help formulating a negotiating strategy
- the negotiating strategy is NOT revealed to the seller
- you will be told if the current property is in violation of deed restrictions
- you will be presented with a comparative market analysis showing you if the property is overpriced
- the person representing you has your best interest
- Negative features such as an inefficient floor plan will be brought to your attention
- "Property Wanted" ads can be placed to find property for you
- you will be informed how many Days On Market the listed property has been on the market
A Buyer's Representation Agreement is a SMART idea for any buyer to get the full and necessary services of a professional in this industry.
SIGN UP, and get the GOOD STUFF.
