Home Buyer Representation

The Third Step: Locate a Suitable Property

As your exclusive buyer's agent, here is what you can expect from us:

  • We will search through ALL listings available, not only through our own extensive listing base, but properties for sale from ANY real estate company or agent in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

  • We can show you all new construction homes which may meet your needs

  • We can show you homes which are not even for sale through any real estate company, but rather For Sale By Owner

  • We often know of sellers who want to sell, but didn't want their property actively on the market. These are properties only we know about

  • We will preview homes, as necessary, to eliminate properties which do not suit your needs to save you the time and frustration of seeing homes you don't want

  • We will make appointments with Sellers to preview homes which match your needs

  • We will point out the strengths and weaknesses of which we are aware so that you can make an informed and educated purchasing decision

When purchasing the home that you will be living in or making a substantial investment in, you will be accepting certain responsibilities. Here is what will we expect from you:

  • Keep us informed as to any homes you've found when visiting an Open House, in a newspaper ad, driving by a "For Sale" sign (whether listed with a real estate company or by owner), or at a new home development

  • Inform other agents that you are working with us as your exclusive representative so that they do not violate the laws of agency

  • Be honest with us about what you like, or don't like, about any house you are shown - our feelings won't be hurt! Tell us if we're showing you homes or areas you don't like

  • Give us as much notice as possible if you can't make a previewing appointment. We need to cancel with the Sellers

  • Thoroughly investigate homes you are interested in and ask plenty of questions. You should make a wise and informed purchasing decision and not solely rely on your agent to think of, or discover, every possible defect
