Should you bother with a real estate agent when looking for a home? Absolutely. Here's why...

1. No Cost to You
IT COSTS YOU NOTHING AS A BUYER TO HAVE AN AGENT REPRESENT YOU! Any compensation given to a realtor is paid by the SELLER. For new homes, Realtor compensation is often recognized by the builder as a marketing fee and has no impact on the final cost of the home (in other words, if they don’t pay it to a Realtor, they WON’T take it off the sales price of the home for you!). Good builders desire, expect, and encourage realtor participation. In fact, they need it because Realtors bring them buyers.

2. Big Savings for You
Selling agents want to sell you their homes. They will try to convince you that they have the best house in the area. When negotiating, they will try to get the most profit from their homes as possible. New home builders hire expert salespeople that are trained to sell their homes. In other words, selling agents have THEIR clients interests in mind first and foremost. But who is going to represent you and your interests? A good buyer’s agent will not allow you to get ripped off! They know the entire area and understand the big picture of the housing market. They know what a fair market value should be, what extras or incentives might be available, and how each home comapres to the competition. Because of their expertise, buyers agents can often negotiate a lower price, get more for the money, and help you find exactly what you’re looking for. That means big savings to you!.

3. A good Realtor will not only find you a HOME but also a GOOD INVESTMENT
RESALE, RESALE, RESALE. A good agent will make sure that they find you both a home that meets your needs now, and has the greatest potential as a future investment. Let’s face it, our lives can change over night. You never know when you may unexpectedly have to sell your home. Therefore, you should consider the RESALE-ability of your home. In addition, your investment should have the best opportunity for appreciation when it comes time to sell. Factors such as site location, the builder, the design, and the decor are key items. When buying a home, you are not only buying a home for today, but an investment for tomorrow as well. Jeff will make sure that you are aware of what factors influence the sale of your home, so you can make your purchasing decision fully informed.

4. You Are Represented as THE BUYER
I cannot stress this enough. Selling agents and sales people at the new home offices are most often focused only on their best interests - making a profit. They are legally and ethically bound to do so. After all, who will hire a salesperson that’s not passionate about selling their product? However, with a buyer’s representative like Jeff, YOU and YOUR INTERESTS are represented! My knowledge, reputation, and negotiating skills represent strength and leverage on your behalf.
