According to forecasts, the real estate industry can expect housing construction and home prices to go up. In the next couple of years following this, analysts are also warning of eventual higher mortgage rates, which will inevitably affect millions of homeowners across the country.
These data are relevant, especially for those who will find themselves in search of a new home in Somerville, MA in a year or two. If you’re coming into the market as a buyer, you should arm yourself with the proper information so you can make the most out of available opportunities. However, it is much better if you seek the help of a Somerville, MA real estate professional, such as those from Buyer’s Choice Realty. Here are some of the reasons why having one is a great move to make.
Exclusive Quality Service
If you want to make your search for a house as smooth and as quick as possible, having an exclusive buyer’s agent working with you can spell all the difference. Right off the bat, it must be made clear that we are not actually salespeople. We are agents who help you find the most appropriate homes that fit your needs, preferences and budget.
That said, our knowledge of how the industry works will prove very useful when searching for a new home. If you think buying a new home is just about going on viewings and making an offer on the property that catches your fancy, you’re wrong.
There is a lot of paperwork to be completed; a lot of other obstacles to overcome such as haggling, negotiating, and flatout competing with other buyers. There is also the official turnover of house keys and legal ownership to think about. At least with an exclusive buyer’s agent, you have a professional on your side looking out for your best interest. Our experience in dealing with these requirements means all you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your real estate purchase.
Efficient Search and Top Quality Choices
Your exclusive buyer’s agent will not simply throw random options your way. Instead, we will make a careful study of what it is exactly you are looking for, in other words, what you need. Sometimes, in your discussions, we’ll be able to deduce that there’s something else you need, just that you don’t realize it yet. Our expertise at identifying these things help us find the most optimal choices for you to look at.
Our know-how also allows us to make smart use of the time you have when looking for a house. You can expect us to give you an organized schedule as to your house-hunting activity, from planning to actual on-site inspections, to completing the transaction. To further make sure we won’t be wasting any of your time taking you to properties that do not suit you, we filter options early on, way before the scheduled viewing of properties. This way, you can be more efficient in the use of time, and with a higher probability of getting good results. Ever had a real estate agent showing you homes that were not even close to what you had said you wanted? It’s a frustrating experience, and that will never happen with us!
Representation and Negotiation
Another important benefit of an exclusive buyer’s agent is that we represent your interest exclusively. This means we do not offer services for sellers, not even their listings. The rationale behind this is that serving two masters, so to speak, could present a tricky instance of conflict of interest.
Also, it is better to keep our focus on you, the buyer, so we can better fulfill our services to you as our client. As it is, we already have our hands full locating potential choices, evaluating the state of the said properties, and negotiating a deal that will benefit the buyer most. Being able to provide the focus our client deserves is one of the main factors that help us do our job most efficiently.
