For Buyers
Hire
a REALTOR®. That's what you hear. But isn't that what sellers do? Yes,
most sellers wouldn't think of moving without a REALTOR®. Today Buyers
can have that same loyalty; but most just don't know it. In most cases
the Seller still pays the brokers fees and the cost to a buy at most
closings is nil.
In his syndicated column, "Let's Talk About Real Estate," veteran industry analyst and consultant Thomas Ervin recently endorsed the idea of buyer representation. According to Ervin: Some potential home buyers believe they should use an agent only when buying a resale property listed with a real estate company. This is not true. REALTORS® are a valuable resource when buying any type of property. An agent can help you buy a listed property, a "for sale by owner," or a new home.
Remember, negotiating a home purchase in any State involves many factors other than the asking price. Financing terms must be suited to your individual needs. Various clauses in the contract can also protect you. One of the most common clauses gives you an escape from the purchase if the house is found upon inspection to require extensive repairs or is not what you expected. I know how to prepare your offer and allow for events that you would not normally anticipate.
