Benefits in Using a Buyer’s Agent

Buyer’s Agents Are Invaluable

 

Your real estate agent is a professional consultant!

Many home buyers believe that hiring an agent to help them with their home purchase is unnecessary. Quite the contrary, a good, well-trained, and experienced real estate agent, like the agents we have here at Jean Scott Homes, save homebuyers time, money, and headaches. Here are a few of the benefits a buyer’s agent can provide:

 

  • Saves time for buyers by doing all the legwork on their behalf, such as finding homes that match their criteria, arranging visits, writing offers, providing access for a home inspector and appraiser, and handling all the paperwork.
  • Their professional training and skills in negotiations are invaluable, getting home buyers the best possible price and terms.
  • Experience helps them spot red flags that may not be obvious to the buyer, such as potential problems with a home that could lead to costly repairs or disqualify it for homeowners’ insurance, and properties that are overpriced. 
  • A buyer’s agent can provide guidance and advice throughout the home buying process, and protect the buyer’s interests and confidentiality.
  • A buyer’s agent will coordinate everything with the listing agent, their loan officer, and the closing agent, and make sure deadlines are met and you close on time.

Your Oviedo Home Offer is In! What Are Your Chances?

You are writing an offer in one of the hottest small towns in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, Oviedo, Florida. We know there are multiple, multiple offers and it’s competitive. As a Realtor working with buyers, I would give them my back-of-the napkin, gut feel about how strong their offer is and their odds of it getting accepted. That was based on my years of experience, my read of the situation, and how I see offers coming in for the listing on our own team.
