| Why use a Buyer's Agent? |
| A great question with an important answer. Agreeing
to Buyer Broker Representation enables you to have a professional looking
out for
your best interests. This is significant because if you don’t
have this written agreement with an agent you trust, such as one
of ours, the agent represents the seller. You may wonder what buyer
representation will do for you. Here are just a few points to consider: Narrow down your property searches. In an area like Annapolis,, it is difficult to keep up with the inventory of homes. We can help you narrow your search using criteria such as location to workplaces, price, family needs, and the like. Market Data- We can help you evaluate current market conditions so you can make an offer to the seller that is fair and appropriate. Purchase Offer- Besides the offer amount, there are other factors to consider. How much will you put down as an earnest money deposit? What are your desired settlement date, time, and location? Are you able to attend settlement or will you need a Power of Attorney? Will there be a rent back? All points to negotiate within a contract. Negotiating- Rarely is a contract accepted as it is written. Having an agent, like one of ours, who can be objective can produce a winning outcome. You get the home of your dreams and the seller gets his or her house sold! Getting to Settlement- Once you have a ratified contract, there are still many steps to holding the keys to your new home. Often times there are home inspections, and/or radon, well and septic inspections which all require negotiation. Financing needs to be finalized and occasionally issues arise even at the settlement table. We can help with all of these matters and make your home buying experience as stress free as possible.
