Why use an "Accredited Buyer's Representative"?

Purchasing real estate is a complex and major transaction with many details to be handled. In the majority of cases the seller will be represented by an agent.

A Buyers Representative is responsible for protecting the buyer's best interests. Research by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has shown that when a buyer's representative is used, the prospective buyer found a home one week faster and examined three more properties than consumers who did not use a buyer's representative.

A Buyer's Representative will:

*Evaluate the specific needs and wants of the buyer, and locate properties that fit those specifications.

*Assist the buyer in determining the amount that they can afford(Pre-Qualify), and show properties in that price range and  locale.

*Assist in viewing properties.....accompany the buyer on the showings, or preview the properties on behalf of the buyer to insure that the identified  specifications are met.

*Research the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help the buyer make an informed decision prior to making an Offer to Purchase on the selected property.

*Present the Offer to Purchase to the seller's agent and the seller on the buyer's behalf.

*Negotiate on behalf of the buyer to help obtain the identified property - keeping the buyers best interests in mind

*Assist in securing appropriate financing for the selected property.

*Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (movers, carpenters, exterminators, etc.) if these services are needed.

*Most Importantly....Fully represent the buyer throughout the real estate transaction.
