Who Do You Listen To When Buying a Home?

May. 16, 2007
Categorized in: Buying a home...

Buying Your Home - Ask An ExpertWhen you first start thinking about buying a home -- whether you're moving up or buying your first home -- you'll be offered all kinds of advice from friends, family and co-workers. Their one purchase (maybe two or three) makes them an expert on home-buying. They'll recommend inspectors, lenders, insurance agents they've used.

But wait! They've only had one (okay, maybe two or three) experience. But any REALTOR® has had experience with hundreds, maybe thousands of transactions. That does make them an expert! And they've had a lot of experience with the professionals they recommend.

I've had ten years of experience working with home buyers to buy the home of their dreams.  I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to get the job done. Here's what makes me different from your advisors.

I work hard for my clients to save them money.  If I can negotiate $5.000 off the price of a home, that doesn't include the additional build-up of equity amortization for paying less for the original loan amount, and that's much more than the original $5,000.

Why would I do this when I'm paid by commission and a higher price would mean a higher commission for me?  First, as an Exclusive Buyer's Agent I'm legally obligated to represent the best interests of my clients above any other interests, including my own! And --  the difference in commission for negotiating $5,000 off the price of the house is only $140! I want my clients to be satisfied. Their good will and word of mouth are good advertising, worth much more than whatever I save them.  My goal is to save my clients as much money as possible when making what may be the biggest purchase of a lifetime. 

I save clients liability and pitfalls they may not be able to avoid simply because they don't have the knowledge and experience to know what those issues might be. 

I work with a virtual team.  Markelle Harden in Arizona is my Online Transaction Coordinator.  She uses Settlement Room to help clients through the final process of final loan approval, appraisal, home inspection, and a host of other details that must be attended to.

Lynn Payge Hoppe maintains my website from Texas.  Ed Robisheaux in Virginia helps to maintain my position on the internet.  Kathleen Allardyce helps with web search engine optimzation.  

My team helps me keep my business on track so that I have more time to work with you when you're considering making the largest purchase of a lifetime.  Your advisors, though well-meaning, have no financial stake in making sure your best interests are served. I do. Helping people make their dreams come true is my business.

So listen to the advisors, but let a REALTOR® put her or his expertise to work for you when you buy a home in Denver, Colorado.

Nice write-up, very informative. We just got our new site through http://www.real-estate-designers.com and now we have to choose between organic SEO and PPC. I have been recommended by a lot of people to do both at the same time to get the best results. Any suggestions on this arena will be helpful.
