Why Use a Buyer's Agent to Buy A Home?

You think you can do it yourself!

The way technology has grown over the years, you would think there are no limitations to what you can find online. This is somewhat true, however,  you can’t always believe what you find online. There are countless real estate websites like Trulia.com, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, YahooHomes.com, AmandaParmerSellsHomes.com, and the list goes on and on!  When it comes to searching for Jacksonville NC homes, any agent can help you, however, a Buyer’s Agent will help you find the right home at the best possible price.

Why Use a Buyer's Agent?

Why? When you are a client of a Buyer’s Agent, you will notice the difference from just being a customer. The key concept that sets one apart from the other is the client relationship that a signed Buyers’ Agency agreement provides.  As a client, we are required to place your needs and goals first and that is why we are here for you, to help you. Allow us to alleviate the stress you may be feeling and help walk you through the transition to homeownership. You can rest assured that your best interest  will come first and that you and your family will have a great adventure along the way.

Buyer's Agent can show ANY home

When using a Buyer’s Agent, you can rest assure that they will be 100% loyal to you and will look out for your best interest as you start your Jacksonville NC home search. Did you know that Buyers Agent can show you any home regardless of which sign is out in front of a house, they are not pushing one of their listings, new homes in their subdivision, or the home with the largest commission. Real Estate is our career and we are experts in helping their buyers find the home that fits their criteria in the location you want, and at a price that fits their budget.

Using a Buyer’s Agent is FREE!

Just consider that as their client , you will receive the highest level of service and this service will cost you nothing. We do not charge you a fee, our services are paid thru the listing agreement that a seller has with the listing real estate firm.

What is the difference between client and customer?

                Now, you may ask what is the difference between being a customer and a client? The main difference is that clients are entitled to a superior level of service than a customer, you may ask in what way? As a client, everything you share with a Buyer’s Agent is keep confidential – your plans, your motivation, your finances, etc. – all the information that a Seller’s Agent would use against you to get the best price for his client – the Seller. That is why a buyer talking to an agent, whose name is on the sign in the front yard is at a disadvantage from the start – the Seller’s Agent is gathering information while talking to you about his Client’s house. Yes, the Seller’s Agent wants to sell the house, but his loyalty is to his client , the Seller, not you, the customer. Make sure you are represented by a Buyer’s Agent, who has had plenty of experience in the market.

Still think you can do it on your own

                It’s perfectly true that you can buy a home without a REALTOR®.  But why would you want to?  Utilize a real estate professional to represent your interests in the transaction.  Especially when you don’t have to pay for their service!  When you go to the grocery store and can’t find the cucumbers, you’re going to ask the grocer where they are in the store.  Usually they’ll not only show you where, but help you choose the best ones.  The same is true for Buyer’s Agents!  Not only can we show you homes, but help you make the best decision/investment to suit your specific needs.

Teamwork is the key to success. Keeping your Buyers Agent updated on any change in needs, what your likes and dislikes, all come into play when working as a team to find your home. Fluid communication will help your Buyer’s Agent find you the best home, for the best price in the shortest amount of time.  Call today to talk about your real estate needs!
