Buying a Home

Purchasing a home is most likely the biggest financial decision you will ever make. Whether this is your first purchase or you are an experienced buyer, this decision must be made carefully. When you feel ready to begin the search contact Samantha Realty Co. I am committed to providing professional expertise on the housing market and trained to negotiate on your behalf from purchase offer, to agreement on terms, to closing.

 

How does a Buyers Agent save you time and money

1. Buying a home is a detailed process that requires knowledge and discipline to move through the steps effectively.

2. The buyer’s agent commission is paid by the seller-not you. Hiring a buyer’s agent is like hiring a personal real estate trainer (to move you through the process) for free.

3. A buyer’s agent can sell you any home on the market or any home coming on the market. If you can buy it, a buyer agent can probably help you buy it far more efficiently and at a better price and terms. At Samantha Realty Co I take this a step further and if there are not any homes on the market that fit your needs, I will go knock on doors and find you one.

- Help make final decision on home

- Tell you the price paid for comparable homes in recent history

- Advise on terms and issues related to the offer

- Fill out purchase offer contract

 

4. Negotiating to buy

- Present the offer to seller

- Negotiate on your behalf (with constant dialogue) using skills from experience

- Provide knowledge of each and every concession possible
