What can Real Estate Agents do to help you buy the right home for you?

 Buying a Home


Buying a home is probably the biggest investment you will make, with long-term financial ramifications. It calls for many informed decisions and for good advice from a real estate professional. When buying a home, you can learn from the knowledge and skill of a Real Estate Agent.

What can Real Estate Agents do to help you buy the right home for you?

  • They will help you determine how much home you can actually afford.  And they can introduce you to a mortgage counselor and arrange to have you "pre-approved" which can improve your negotiating position and enable you to achieve your home-buying objectives faster and with less stress.
  • Providing client level services, they can work for you as a buyer's agent and help negotiate the best price and terms for you.
  • They will help you work out a realistic idea of the home best suited to your needs and personal preferences.
  • They have access to all available homes in the multi-list system, can evaluate them in terms of your needs and affordability, and will not waste your time showing you unsuitable homes.
  • They can often suggest simple, imaginative changes that could make a home more suitable for you and improve its utility and value.
  • They can supply information on real estate values, taxes, utility costs, municipal services and facilities, and may be aware of proposed zoning changes that could affect your decision to buy.  
  • They can help you with the closing process 
  • They can provide you with a list of qualified home inspectors, pest inspectors, surveyors, and help to coordinate inspection appointments.

Make your Home Loan Process Sucessful

Make you Home Loan Process Successful

One of my biggest challenges when dealing with a home buyer is communicating the importance of loan pre-approval from day one to the day  of  closing.
Many consumers underestimate the importance of their credit score throughout  the process. A buyer already pre--approved  and ready to start looking for his dream home may be denied before closing.
The reasons can vary,  a change in their credit or a purchase they recently made or a simple change or closure of a line of credit.

Watch this great video by my friend Travis Scott with NorthStar Bank explaning in simple and easy words how a buyer credit behavior can affect his loan process.
