For Buyers


 

Buying a home is a major decision in one's life. Making the smart move of choosing a REALTOR® is your first step to ensuring that your new home and community meets your needs. Our services and experience will insure a search that fills the needs of you and your family.  For our convenience, we also provide listings by email.  Working with us, you'll understand why the primary source of our business is from statisfied repeat clients.

 

One of the first decisions you should make is to hire a Buyer Broker.  Simply stated, when you call a telephone number on a for sale sign or go to open houses, you are talking with someone who is representing the interests of the Seller. A popular misconception is that a Buyer can save money by eliminating representation and dealing directly with the Seller's agent. In almost all cases a Buyer Broker will be able to negotiate a better deal than you could yourself as well as handle the myriad of details and paperwork.  At no cost to you, we will represent your interests as a Buyer's Broker.

 

Here are some informative quotes:

 

MONEY MAGAZINE - "Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want and then negotiating the lowest possible price."

LOS ANGELES TIMES - "Buyer's agents are not tied to any particular property or agency, so they will show buyers any home, even those for sale by owner."

BUSINESS WEEK - "To protect themselves, buyers can retain their own exclusive representative, called a buyer's broker."

SMART MONEY - "Only by using an exclusive buyer agent can a buyer be sure all information is kept confidential."

WORTH - "Hire a buyer's broker. When in the market for a home, the best defense is a strong offense."
