As a Buyer’s
Agent I offer full time Professional Services. I use my experience and
expertise to help Clients each step of the way. From searching to closing!
These services
include:
· Searching
listings in the MLS of the Central Michigan Board of Realtors and providing
details of any listings that may be of interest to my client.
· Alerting
my Clients to new listings that they might be interested in as soon as they
reach the market.
· Meeting
with Clients to show properties as well as write-up all contracts, addendums,
disclosures and title requests leading to the
successful closing of the desired property. While viewing properties, I look for
costly items that may need repair or replacement and advise on how to handle
each individual situation.
· Assisting
Clients in negotiating price, terms, and conditions of any property for sale in
the state of Michigan. Including providing comparable values of similar marketed
homes in the vicinity of any intended property on the market.
· Assisting
my clients in finding financing sources, appraisers, inspectors, surveyors,
title insurance, escrow closing services, attorneys and other specialists if my
client desires to use their services.
· Promote
only the best interest of my Clients and keep confidential all information and
motivations for the purchase.
· Provide
my Clients with Honest Personal Opinion and market information.
Real Estate Basics
Most people have no idea what
real estate agents do or what to look for
when seeking professional help
in finding and buying a home. Here is a
brief description to help you
understand the home buying process, what
we do as Agents, and what you
need to do to find, purchase and move into
a home of your choosing.
Prequalification
Prequalification is vital to
speeding up the closing process. The last thing
you want is to lose your chosen
home to another buyer because they were
pre-qualified and can move
ahead while you are busy trying to get approved
for a loan. Have a mortgage
officer give you a letter showing that you are
approved and how much house you
can purchase. This will help make your
closing go quickly and
smoothly. I can recommend a number of good experienced
mortgage officers if you don't
have one. It is also crucial for writing an offer that I know the type of
financing and the terms needed to be written into that purchase agreement.
Different types of financing require different wording on the offer.
Working with an Agent
It is important to choose your
own agent and USE THIS AGENT TO SEE
HOMES! Every transaction has
two sides: the selling side with the listing agent,
and the buying side with a
buyer's agent. Commissions are split between these
two agents. Calling the one on
the sign of the house you want to see does
not give you representation on
that house. The agent on the sign represents
the seller.
Once any agent has
shown you a home, if you wish to
purchase that home, that agent is your agent.
Just as you would want
your own lawyer in court, you
want your own agent when you purchase a
home, one that will look out
for your best interests and represent you.
MLS - Multiple Listing Service
In the last decade, the MLS
Data has become computerized and is available to
Real Estate Agents on a local
internet system, making home searches precise and
easy. I put in your search
criteria, and EVERY Active listing that matches
comes up. I do not hide homes
for other "preferred buyers". Other
agents don't have secret homes
to show you. We show you every home
that is available. All I need
to know is what you want.
These statistics are verifiable at the MLS public website. The public can do
limited searches at the MLS
public site,
www.realtor.com.
These will not
give addresses, only the home
description and the contact information of
the agent listing the home.
However, if you have your own agent, you can
search for homes and give your
agent the MLS
numbers so they can pull up the
listings, print them out, and arrange to show
you the homes.
Your responsibility
As well as being pre-qualified,
you to have a commitment to
work with me. Time is money,
and I doesn’t get paid until the closing. It
hurts to work with someone for
a month or so, show homes and make
offers, and then because they
haven't found their home yet, they think
another agent will be able to
find what we haven't and off they go. ANY
AGENT WILL FIND THE SAME HOMES,
and remember, finding
homes is the easy part -- while
a successful closing takes experience.
Please be patient while waiting
for the home you will eventually purchase to
be listed. It may already be
listed, it may happen tomorrow, it may happen
next week. Running from agent
to agent means you see the same homes
over and over, as they will
pull up the same homes I do, given the same
criteria. Please be fair with
us as we will be fair with you.
Time is of the essence
When you decide on a home, we
need to work quickly. We also need to
be honest and realistic and
remember that there is a person selling that
home that needs to be honest
and realistic as well. We need to make an
offer, based on comparable
homes that have sold in that area. In the case of simultaneous
offers, a seller will choose
the best price and offer. Sellers are under no
obligation to accept any offer,
and are able to counteroffer any offer that
comes in with unacceptable
terms. Treat others the way you want to be
treated.
Closing
Closing is the part of buying a
home that requires skill and experience.
That's where I come in.
Anyone can show a home, all it takes is an
address and a key. Closing a
home requires expertise, attention to details
and experience. Over 50% of all
closings fail, and I don't want your
closing to be one of them..
Tell your friends
Most of my business is
referral. After you've successfully closed your
home, tell your friends about
me! Give them the opportunity to have a good
buying or selling experience as
well. And remember me the next time you wish to buy
or sell property. The best
compliment you can give is a referral.
