What is Buyer's Representation?

Did you know that if you purchase a home through an Open House or call on the sign in front of the home that you are dealing with the agent of the seller? By state law, that agent owes a fiduciary responsibility to the seller to represent the seller's best interests in the negotiating of any offer. The goal of the Seller is obviously to sell the home at the highest possible price. The goal of a buyer is to buy a home at the lowest possible price with the most favorable terms.

Having Stacey work for you as a Buyer’s Representatives can save you time, aggravation, and money. I am not just a salesman, but rather a skilled professional consultant who possesses real estate expertise with a specialization of working in the best interests of the buyer.

Buying real estate is one of the most important experiences in a person’s life. Choices made, wise or otherwise, will affect the quality of your life for years to come. For a buyer to make a wise choice, many questions need to be asked, decisions need to be made and numerous options must be weighed. I would appreciate having the opportunity to be your real estate consultant. My primary responsibility is to help you make wise choices. I have developed a systematic approach to home buying that you will appreciate. I will help you select the right location, show you properties that meet your requirements, provide you with advice about the pros and cons of your property purchase, prepare and negotiate offers on your behalf, assisting you with financing, appraisals, home inspections, and handle all the details of the escrow process.

Hiring me as your Buyer’s Representative is easy, but it does require a commitment. Best of all, these services are free to you as the home buyer. These services are generally paid by the home’s seller at the close of escrow through the mutual cooperation of sales commission rates between the listing broker and a buyer's agent--costing you nothing.

Whether your home buying experience is a good one or a bad one is often determined by the expertise, or lack thereof, that is possessed by the REALTOR® involved. Check out my experience and results here
