The process of buying a home can feel a bit intimidating, even under normal circumstances. But today's market is still anything but normal. There continues to be a very limited number of homes for sale, and that’s creating bidding wars and driving home prices back up as buyers compete over the available homes.
Navigating all of this can be daunting if you’re trying to do it alone. That’s why having a skilled expert to guide you through the homebuying process is essential, especially today. Bankrate shares this perspective:
"Advice and guidance from a professional real estate agent can be invaluable, particularly amid a hot or unpredictable housing market."
Here are just a few of the ways I am able and committed to helping you find success in your home buying journey:
- Experience – Serving clients on a daily basis in our market allows me to know the ins and outs of what’s happening today, how it impacts buyers, and how to navigate any hurdles that may pop up.
- Education – Knowledge is power when it comes to buying a home. One of my goals is to simply and effectively explain market conditions and translate what they mean for you so you can feel confident in your decision.
- Negotiations – I am your advocate and always working for your best interests. Providing assistance with the purchase agreement, helping you negotiate potential seller concessions if the inspection reveals issues with the home and ensuring that no detail is overlooked are just a few of the ways I can help.
- Contracts – Helping guide you through the disclosures and contracts necessary in today’s heavily regulated environment is critical to ensure a smooth closing.
- Pricing – Making an offer and negotiating with a seller can be one of the most difficult and stressful parts of the home buying process. I will help you understand what similar homes are selling for so you have the full picture of what you may want to offer.
All of these reasons combined may be why 86% of recent buyers used an agent according to the latest Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR). NAR also has this to say about why an agent is so essential today:
“A great real estate agent will guide you through the home search with an unbiased eye, helping you meet your buying objectives while staying within your budget. Agents are also a great source when you have questions about local amenities, utilities, zoning rules, contractors, and more.”
