A Buyer’s Agent Can Save You Thousands

November 30, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

In a real estate transaction, there are typically two agents involved, the buyer’s agent and the listing agent. The listing agent is the agent that meets with the seller to list and market the property. This agent can also bring the buyer but more often than not buyers will have their own representative called a buyer’s agent.

A Buyer's Agent Can Save You Thousands

But, why wouldn’t the buyer just use the listing agent of the property they are interested in?

When sellers list their property with the listing agent they negotiate on a commission that is typically split between the buyer’s agent and the listing agent. The listing agent, who might also bring the buyer, receives the full commission. So you can see that a listing agent certainly has an incentive to also find the buyer. But the sole goal for the listing agent is to sell that particular property because he/she represents the owner. A buyer’s agent has no ulterior agenda or motive for selling any one particular property. Their goal is to sell a property that is ideal for the buyer.

But how can a buyer’s agent save you money?

A buyer’s agent keeps your financial situation and your negotiating strategies confidential. Their goal is to help you find the right property, not sell any one particular home. A buyer’s agent receives the split commission regardless of which home the buyer chooses so the ultimate goal is finding the right home for the buyer, not selling the home for a particular seller. Because of this, negotiating strategies and specifics of the terms can be kept confidential throughout negotiations. This can actually save buyers money by offering less than the listing price and since the seller and the listing agent are not aware of the buyer’s strategies, the transaction is more in favor of swinging towards the buyer’s terms.

As a Sunset Beach real estate agent, it is my duty and my passion to make sure you find the right home at the right price. Your desires and needs become my goals as we work together side-by-side to purchase the correct property for your requirements. Remember, since the owner pays the real estate commissions, it costs you nothing to use my services to facilitate a real estate transaction on your behalf. Use my expertise, skills, training and knowledge to get the right home, in the right neighborhood, for the right price.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
