Learn About - A - Agency (Buyer) Real Estate Services

An agency relationship arises in a real estate transaction when a person, wishing to sell his/her home, seeks the assistance of a real estate brokerage through discussions with a real estate broker or salesperson employed by the brokerage.

Buyer Agency: This type of relationship can be established by implication, as well as a written agreement/contract. The hallmarks of this relationship are good faith, full disclosure, competence, obedience, and accounting. A good REALTOR will use professional negotiation skills, seek appropriate properties that meet the buyer's needs, describe the merits and defects of any selected property, keep information confidential concerning the buyer, and act in the buyers best interests.

REMEMBER: A buyer DOES NOT pay any real estate fees to use a Real Estate Agent to BUY a home.


A Buyers Agent will:


  • help find the best home for you whether it is listed for sale on the MLS®, privately, or not listed at all. I have helped many clients purchase homes for sale by owner (FSBO,WELIST). Realtors can also represent buyers interested in purchasing new homes (ie new construction)
  • drive you & your family around the city to look at homes (if this is more convenient for you)
  • show you the mls history on any property and interpret the information
  • provide you with a comparable market analysis on the homes you're interested in
  • pulling title on each home you're about to put an offer on and identifying potential problems
  • making sure the Real Property Report is accurate
  • preparing the purchase contract
  • negotiating with the listing agent or private sellers
  • keep in touch via email, text or phone calls (even after the deal has been made!)
  • give you fantastic referrals to mortgage brokers, lawyers & inspectors they has used & trust 100%
  • makes sure all the paperwork is conveyed to your lawyer & mortgage broker
  • make sure deposits are deposited into the appropriate trust account
  • provide you with community information (dog parks,schools,stores,crime stats etc)
  • give you advice on renovations & improvements
  • be present during the inspection as a 2nd set of ears
  • be present during possession day
  • spend hours researching homes sold, homes pending, homes active and the market stats within the communities you're interested in & throughout the city/town you're purchasing in.


If you have any further suggestions to my short list, please let me know! I am continually trying to provide my clients with the best service & most relaxing experience.
