Buying Your First Home? A Great REALTORŪ Is Your Professional Guide. How Do You Choose Someone Who Will Do The Best Job For You?
What Is A "Buyer's Agent"?
A Buyer's Agent works solely on behalf of the buyer and owes duties to the buyer which include the utmost good faith, loyalty and fidelity. The agent will negotiate on behalf of and act as an advocate for the buyer. The agent must disclose to potential sellers all adverse material facts concerning the buyer's financial ability to perform the terms of the transaction and whether the buyer intends to occupy the property. A separate written buyer agency agreement is required which sets forth the duties and obligations of the parties.
What Are The Advantages Of A Buyer's Agency Agreement?
Advantage 1: Your Best Interests Are Professionally Represented
Trusting the services of a professional Buyer's Agent is similar to relying on your Doctor for health care, your Lawyer for legal advice, your Mechanic to service your vehicles and your Accountant to help you with your taxes. So too, do we, as your Real Estate Consultants, act on your behalf to counsel and to advise you on your Real Estate transactions and goals.
When you choose The Joan Shaffer Group, your interests are our sole priority. We will be with you every step of the way and counsel you accordingly, so you will have more control and greater peace of mind.
You can be assured that all our efforts will be directed to help you to make an informed decision that is in your best interests...rather than having a fear of being "sold" on something by some "pushy salesperson"!
Advantage 2: You Will Find A GREAT Home Quickly At The Best Price And Terms Possible
It is nearly impossible to find a home that meets your needs, successfully negotiate, secure the best possible financing and close a purchase without an experienced and skilled agent.
The Joan Shaffer Group has Four Personal Computers that automatically access all information from the MLS database every day to ensure that you receive the newest listings and the latest information and price reductions on every potential property available. You won't need to spend endless hours reviewing unnecessary and outdated information on the Internet or in the newspapers or driving around looking for properties for sale.
Advantage 3: You Receive A Personal Specialist Who Knows Your Needs
Just as your doctor, lawyer, mechanic and accountant take care of your and develop a relationship with you, we as your Buyer's Agent, also grow to know you and to provide professional advice about your Real Estate needs. This kind of relationship is built by open and respectful communication between us.
As we tour homes together we will learn your preferences and concerns. Because we are experts in the market, we will know the homes that meet your criteria. There is little to gain from trying to find and tour homes on your own. Let us save you time and money in your search for your dream home!
Advantage 4: All Of This Personal Service Is Available At Absolutely No Cost To You!
Entering into a Buyer's Agency Agreement has countless advantages and no disadvantages. When you sign a Buyer's Agency Agreement, you are simply agreeing to "hire" a personal representative who, by law, must represent your best interests to the best of their ability. There is no cost to you because our fees are paid from the transaction by the seller only after you find your dream home.
Be sure that you can cancel the agreement if you are not happy with the services of the Buyer's Agent you have chosen.
The Joan Shaffer Group makes this "Easy Exit Guarantee" in writing. If you are ever unhappy with our services, you can cancel our Buyer Agency Agreement with no questions asked and owe us nothing!
