You need a buyer’s agent to help you buy your home!

I repeat: You need a buyer’s agent to help you buy your home!

There are some buyers out there that believe by going directly through the listing agent, they will be saving a lot of money on their purchase. What they are not considering is that the listing agent already has a commission structure in place that won’t be changing whether or not a buyer’s agent is involved. True—sometimes there is a small discount in this scenario...but really, you think you’re winning by getting a small discount?

In this market, you need a buyer’s agent to find you a home that is well below market value. An agent that will take you directly to the bargain...or directly to a home that is not even on the market yet. You need a buyer’s agent to schedule showings, help you write offers, help you navigate the lending process, help you through the inspection process, help you get to the closing table. I will do all these things for you...for FREE! That’s right– you don’t pay me a dime to do all these services. When considering a buyer’s agent, ask them about their transaction fees. Some agents want you to come out of pocket several hundred dollars; I will never ask for a penny from you.

Whether you are a client or not, I’d encourage you to check out the Homebuyers Scouting Report, located at the top of this page with the “Search for a Property” link. There are multitudes of searching tools online. What if you could go to one which had every single listing on it—password protected and free of advertisements? You can set up your own searches—no more calling your agent to change your criteria and preferences. And it has the best mapping features and neighborhood information that I have seen. Check it out, and call me when you’re ready to start thinking about buying a home. It’s never too early in the process to start gathering information.
