The Homebuying Process: REALTOR® Representation

Jun 25, 2023 | Buyers

Real estate agents are important partners when you’re buying or selling a home.  I will provide you with helpful information on homes and neighborhoods that aren’t easily accessible to the public. My knowledge of the home buying process, negotiating skills, and familiarity with the area you want to live in will be extremely valuable. And, it doesn’t cost you anything for my services – I am compensated from the fee paid by the seller of the house.

  1. Market Knowledge – We will help you make a smart buying decision.
  2. Neighborhood
  3. Price
  4. Style of home
  5. Resale value
  6. Negotiating – We are experienced in developing and negotiating competitive offers.
  7. Inspection – Identifying and resolving issues with the home.
  8. Advocacy – we do everything we can to find your home and represent YOU in the process. We can even help with certain aspects of the moving process or with certain issues that may arise after you have moved.
  9. Questions – We will answer your questions throughout the buying process.

Remember: The total real estate commission is paid by the Seller. You don’t have to pay any of it… You get representation for Free!!
