Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest
financial investments of most people’s lifetime.
Transactions today usually exceed $250,000. If you
had a $250,000 income tax problem, would you attempt
to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you
had a $250,000 legal question, would you deal with
it without the help of an attorney?
It is always
wise to work with a professional real estate agent
when you are buying a home. Remember, you don't pay
to have professional buyer representation, so there's simply no
reason that anyone buying property should ever do it alone. The
seller has representation by their listing agent. Don't you want
a buyer's agent with the fiduciary duty to represent your best
interests as well? Of course you do! This alone can save you
thousands of dollars. Let me
help you understand everything you need to know
about the property buying process.
Just some of the ways
I can help you:
-
I have the most information in one
place about what is on the market, including
homes listed by other brokers and on the Multiple Listing Service. Let me do the
hunting for you!
-
Network with other brokers to find the property
you're looking for.
-
Create
"Hot Sheets" to alert you to any new
listings immediately.
-
As a
member of RMLS, I have authority and access to show you any
property that is listed for sale, usually
without the seller present.
-
Search
for you to find the property best suited to your needs -
size, style, features, location, accessibility
to schools, transportation, shopping,
demographics, etc.
-
Supply
information on real estate values, taxes,
utility costs, property history, municipal services,
schools, and
facilities.
-
Can
suggest simple changes that could make a
prospective property more suitable for you and
improve its utility and value.
-
Your
broker has no emotional ties to a home, can be
objective about it and can point out its
advantages and disadvantages.
-
Act as
an agent between you and the seller to present
offers and negotiate counter-offers until an agreement is
reached.
-
Guide
you through the closing process and make sure
everything flows smoothly.
-
I am bound by a Code of Ethics
which means I
pledge to protect and promote the interest of
the buyer and provide honest treatment for all
parties involved in a transaction.
The
Portland metropolitan area is officially
experiencing a
buyers market! Interest rates are low, inventory is plenty, and
the sub-prime meltdown has not had a dramatic effect here.
Now is a good time to be a buyer!
