Our homes are lifetime investments ranking highly among people's most important financial investments. It causes me to approach my task with assisting my clients who are prospective buyers, with special sensitvity, concern, and professional competence. I can offer you the opportunity to have your own Buyer's Agent which is extremely popular. That means that my loyalty would be squarely and exclusively in your corner to advise you on what is best for you, the buyer. Hiring a Buyer's Agent could save you thousands of dollars. If you wish, I would be pleased to serve in that capacity for you. It would mean that we would enter into an agreement in which I become your loyal agent in your quest for finding a home, whether it be an pre-existing home or a new-build home. I would be responsible only to you ... not the seller in any capacity.
My Services and Duties to the Buyer include:
- Arrange property showings
- Assist with financing
- Provide property data
- Explain the many legal forms and agreements
- Monitor details closely
- Prepare a property value study
- Provide access to the entire market, both listed and unlisted
- Promote and protect the buyer's best interest; advise the buyer
- Negotiate the best price and terms for you
- Point out reasons not to buy
- Assist in the offer with buyer's best interest in mind
- Keep the buyer's bargaining position confidential
- Provide anonymity, if desirable
- Put the buyer's interest first during the entire buying process
While it is essential to have your best interest represented when looking at pre-existing homes, it's very crucial to also have buyer representation when looking at new builds. What most people do not know is that when you visit a builder and purchase from a builder, the contract you sign is from their company and created for the benefit of the builder, not you. That is why it is essential to be represented from the beginning of the looking preocess when shopping to have that dream home built. A Buyer's Agent needs to accompany you on your inital visit or you need to sign in and let the builder know you have a representative and who it is that is looking after your best interest.
The best part of the whole opportunity of obtaining a Buyer's Agent is that it is 99 percent usually FREE to the homebuyer. In the State of Colorado, it is customary for the seller/builder to pay the commisssion to the buyer's agent. If you, the buyer, want, I can promise you and put it in writing that I will not show you any properties that the seller does not pay a co-op fee to the buyer's agent.
