FIND YOUR NEW HOME
Buying a home is an important decision and the largest investment most will ever make. You deserve to have a trusted professional to guide you throughout the process. I am relentlessly committed to representing your best interests and helping you navigate the buying process. I have the knowledge and skills to help you find the home of your dreams and negotiate the transaction terms that will work for you and close the deal.
When you choose me to represent you, you’ll benefit from the CENTURY 21 brands dedicated buyer tools, which help making the buying process easier and more efficient.
BUYER AGREEMENTS
Buyer’s agents across the country are required to have a signed representation agreement in place before showing properties. I can offer short-term as well as longer agreements, both with a cancel-anytime policy.
These agreements clearly lay out what services you (as a homebuyer) expect me, your real estate professional, to provide, and what I will be paid. These agreements make things clear and reduce any potential confusion at the outset of our real estate agreement.
BUYER AGENT COMMISIONS
Because commissions are fully negotiable, this does not automatically mean you will have to pay anything out of pocket for buyer representation. When submitting an offer, there are several ways we can approach the buyer’s agent fee:
Request that the seller pay the buyer’s agent commission.
Negotiate a price reduction or seller credit to offset the buyer’s agent fee.
If necessary and approved by your lender, include the buyer’s agent fee in your mortgage, allowing the cost to be spread out over the life of the loan.
BUY NOW OR BUY LATER?
Buying a home now lets you start building equity and lock in today’s home price, but you may face higher interest rates and have less time to save. Home prices tend to rise, and interest rates could also rise, meaning you may pay more later. Locking in your rate now and refinancing later when rates lower is the most practical approach. The gains in equity over time when you buy now usually outpace home prices. CONTACT ME for a personal consultation.
