Are you longing for the American dream and ready to house hunt? If so, as a buyer, you want to have a strong agent by your side to help navigate the process of contracts, negotiations, inspections and any challenges that may arise during the transaction.
Hi, I am Terry Tucker with eXp Realty and I’ve been selling homes right here in the San Ramon Valley and the broader San Francisco Bay Area for the past 26 years.
Buying a home can be stressful and overwhelming, especially if you are a first time home buyer going through the process. That is why it is so important to have a buyer’s agent by your side. True to the name, a buyer’s agent is going to work for you and ONLY YOU! They are ethically obligated to work in your best interest through making offers, negotiations, inspections and all the challenges that can come
with a real estate transaction.
Let me tell you about a few but important things a buyer’s agent can do to help you through the process.
First, they can help you find the one property that checks all your boxes. A buyer’s agent will do a diligent home search, view properties on your behalf and schedule appointments to tour homes that fit towards your needs. They will access a multiple listing service to give you inventory updates and new properties on the market.
A buyer’s agent will meet with you to see what your must haves vs your needs are in your home search. Maybe you need to be in a certain location or neighborhood and within a certain price range.
They will also negotiate on your behalf. Having the ability and skill set to negotiate in a real transaction is huge. An agent’s negotiating experience not only can save you thousands of dollars but also help you avoid certain pitfalls like repairs that can cause a lot of stress down the road.
They will also know how to navigate through inspections and appraisals that fall short of value. With the right agent, you can literally save thousands of dollars on this item alone!
Most importantly, they will be your advocate and trusted guide who will help you find your dream home. Once you agree to work with someone, you will need to sign a contract called a Buyer Broker Agreement to lock in your agent. This contract means that this agent will be your sole representative to help you make important decisions on your home buying journey!
