The seller's interests will be represented by a professional, and yours should be too. Of course, not all Buyer Agents are created equal.

I'll be right there with you, every step of the way.

Trust an Experienced Professional

It's always important to work with a knowledgeable and skilled real estate professional because the process of buying a home is involved and can be complicated at times. I know and understand that you've got valid concerns about the amount of money that is at stake, and I assure you I am 100% committed to protecting you from costly missteps along the way. Having the guidance of a seasoned Realtor, who is understanding of your anxiety as a first-time homebuyer and will patiently answer all of your questions, will insure you have a positive transaction instead of an expensive "learning experience."

You Require a Realtor With a Proven Track Record

Don't underestimate how comforting it is to be guided step-by-step through the buying process either. I offer one-stop shopping with expert advice about financing, contracts, negotiating, and market value. My proven track record of success is well documented by the fact that 90% of my business is obtained by referrals from satisfied clients. You can rest assure that I will help you achieve your real estate goals while saving you time and money, but you don't have to simply take my word for it. I encourage you to contact me to request personal and professional references to learn more and gain confidence that working with me is in your best interests. And best of all, my services cost you nothing since buyer agents are paid by the seller!

"I can buy a home without the services of a Realtor."

Sure you can buy your first home without the support and assistance of a Realtor but do you really want to do that? Is it in your best interest to undertake self-managing one of the most complex transactions you may ever face in your lifetime? Who will represent your best interest especially when you have to negotiate an offer that has thousands of dollars hanging in the balance? Conventional wisdom says you should secure a Realtor who will help you manage the details of the homebuying process so you have a positive homebuying experience.

What does it mean to be a Realtor?

Your dedicated agent/broker should be a Realtor who is a member of the local “Board of Realtors”. The local board is an organization that follows a strict code of ethics typically beyond those established by the state real estate license laws. Realtors are those members of the local board who sponsor the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). If agents use the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), each member is obligated to abide by the rules for their local board for listing or searching prospects.

Interview questions you should ask your Realtor

Not all Realtors are the same. Qualifications, skills levels and experience vary. Be sure you interview your Realtor and select an experienced real estate professional who possesses a thorough knowledge of the local market. These qualifications will be invaluable to you as a first-time homebuyer.

Make sure your Realtor partner has the following qualifications and tools:

• He/She is a full-time professional Realtor

• Possesses many years of experience with superior negotiating skills

• Represents buyer’s and your interest

• The Realtor is a first-time homebuyer specialist

• Your Realtor is a Certified New Home Specialist

• Your Realtor is a Multi-Million Dollar Producer
