Sarasota Buyer Agents Roles

There have been many blogs and articles on what a buyer agent is, or isnt. To our mind, here is the value we offer to a home buyer.

1) Time and Focus - Since we do not list property, our time is solely for our buyers. We are not distracted by creating sales flyers, marketing properties, or scheduling open houses. We are not taking calls from frustrated sellers or spending hours in sales caravans to learn about each others listings so we can promote them. Our time is spent researching the best properties that represent the best value for our buyers.

2) Expertise in Pricing - A listing agent cannot tell you how low a seller will go. They will not offer up the information that a list price is too high, or that the home next door sold for $50,000 less. We wouldn't expect them to - their job is to get the best possible price for their seller. But OUR job is to get the best possible price for our BUYER - so we will scour the records to find out the true market value of the home based on assessments and comparable sales; find out what the current owner paid for the property, and when they purchased the home. We also find out what they owe on the property, and extrapolate a likely sales price range using ALL the information. We make sure you never overpay for a home!

3) Protection - We guide buyers through the home buying process. Our reputation and career depends on it. It is therefore of utmost importance that our buyer is protected every step of the way. We know the contracts, and we know how to write them to best protect you. We understand the nuances, so that our customers don't lose deposits, don't get caught with an unexpected money pit, and don't get forced into a deal they didn't expect.

Working with a buyer agent means you are working with a SPECIALIST in the field of home buying. And when making a purchase of thie magnitude, don't you want the best by your side?
