The most important thing you can do
first, as a home buyer, is work with a Buyer Agent.
Remember, seller agents call buyer's attention only to flaws in
the home as required by law. Also, seller agents, by law, must furnish
their client (the seller) with any information obtained from you
or any other source which is material to the transaction or which
might influence the seller's decision to sell. The buyer is a customer-not
a client! Therefore, as a buyer, you should not give the seller's
agent any information that could put you at a disadvantage in negotiations.
As "your" Buyer Agent, we at Choice Real Estate Services,
Inc., can expose you to more homes, give you specific negotiating
advice, represent your best interests, and be "your" professional
to confide in throughout the home buying experience. Unless Choice
is representing the seller, we can provide you with many client-level
services.
As your Buyer Agent we can:
- Search for all suitable properties - we are not limited to just
"listed" property and can search out for-sale-by-owner
and bank owned real estate.
- Keep your personal information confidential so as not to jeopardize
your negotiating position.
also we can:
- Advise you of property strengths and weaknesses to discover
key facts- before you commit yourself in a sales contract.
- Provide a broker's opinion of property value based on comparable
sales- helping you determine a fair offer.
- Present your offer to the Seller's Agent and Seller for you.
- Negotiate the Lowest price and Best terms - on your behalf.
- Track property inspections and loan approval.
- Accompany you on the final walk-thru confirming needed corrections
and repairs are completed.
- Review settlement statement for accuracy.
- Accompany you to closing.
- Most importantly, you would know that you are fully represented
throughout the real estate transaction. After all, in most cases,
the seller is!
