Important Information for Buyers:
Finding the right agent
You want to find the right home, in the right location, at the right price
- and you want to do it quickly, with minimum hassle. The best way to do that is to work with a professional realtor who understands
your wants and needs, your time frame and your financial boundaries.
Why work with an agent?
You'll save time. An agent can
pinpoint homes that fit your needs and dismiss those that don't. You benefit from an experienced negotiator. Your agent will manage
your offers and counter-offers, ensuring that you get the best possible price for your home. You'll get the right information. Your
agent knows the neighbourhood and can give you accurate information on local real estate values, taxes, utility costs, services and
amenities. You can always count on great advice. Because your agent is familiar with the entire home purchasing process, he or she
can advise you of your legal and financial options, and recommend appraisal, home inspection and contracting services.
Choose
an agent who understands your needs. Here are a few questions to ask to help you determine if an agent is right for you: Will you
be representing my interests? Do you have access to MLS information? Will you provide market evidence to support the price? Will you
look after closing and possession details? Can you be contacted at any time?
Working with an agent
Let your real estate agent
do the searching for you. The best buys aren't in the newspaper ads; most great opportunities are on "hot sheets" that are available
every morning to salespeople with access to MLS information.
An agent's job is to: Provide information on the property and the
area Negotiate a price and terms that are agreeable to both buyer and seller Help arrange a source of financing
