Buyers

Buying a home is one of the most important purchases most people will make. We want to see you make the right decision the first time, we want potential buyers to be prepared. Buyers need to consider the following before starting negotiations.

Work with a professional…it doesn’t cost you anything!

A Buyers Agent should handle Real Estate negotiations. Buyers Agents are trained in negotiations and are focused on negotiations since they devote their work and time to the buyer’s side of the deal, they are considered home buying experts. We understand that everything is negotiable in real estate including terms, conditions, contract clauses, disclaimers, exclusions, and dates.

Be Educated

A smart buyer must be educated about the market. Your Buyers Agent will do a CMA (comparative market analysis) for you, and this will help in the decision on the final price. We will look for several houses that satisfy you and the agent to improve your bargaining position.

Be Prepared

Exclusive Buyers Agents will make sure that the seller knows about other priced homes on the market competing against theirs. We will attempt to find out as much information about them and their situation as we can. We will ask if there have been other offers to purchase. We will use clauses and contingencies in the offer to protect your earnest deposit as well as make sure you have enough time to do an inspection.

Establish a Timeline

Besides being prepared it is also important to establish a timeline. Find out if the seller needs to have the house closed sooner than later. If the seller is feeling pressured to sell use that to your advantage in negotiating.

Be Discrete

Last, do not let the seller know how much you want the property. If you appear desperate or overly enthusiastic, the seller than has the stronger bargaining position. When meeting with the sellers or their agents, keep your emotions in check.

There are many aspects to buying a home. It is important to be represented by someone who specializes in real estate and someone you can trust to have your best interest in mind.
