BUYERS
WHY WORK WITH A BUYERS AGENT?
If you’re a first-time homebuyer or an experienced buyer, purchasing a home is often described as an emotional and stressful process, but it doesn’t have to be! As your professional real estate advisor, you can trust me to help you find a home in the neighborhood you want to live in, for a price that aligns with your budget, with terms that honor your risk tolerance, all while meeting your unique desires for features, quality and value.
As your agent, I will:
☑️ Represent YOUR interests
☑️ Guide you through the entire process
☑️ Help to locate properties within you budget
☑️ Provide specific market data in the area(s) you are looking to buy
☑️ Negotiate the best price for you
☑️ Refer you to lenders so you can choose the right fit your needs
Most buyers prefer to hire a buyer’s agent, one who owns the full range of duties including confidentiality and loyalty. In a maze of forms, pricing, negotiation, financing, and inspections, it’s in your best interest to work with a trusted advisor who puts your needs and interests first. Buyer's brokers get paid on a commission, based on a percentage of a home’s sales price, which is split between the listing broker and buyer's agent. Fees typically come out of the sellers’ proceeds while buyers generally pay nothing to the agent who represents them.
YOU MAY BE READY TO BUY A HOME WHEN…
☑️ You have steady, reliable income.
☑️ Have been employed on a regular basis for the last two years and expect to maintain your employment.
☑️ You have a reliable record of paying your bills.
☑️ Have made your regular, on-time payments? (p.s. even if you’ve struggled with this, there are loan programs out there).
☑️ You have money saved up for down payment and closing costs. Contrary to popular belief, here’s the good news - you don’t need 20%! Many loan programs provide for 10% or even as little as 3% down on the purchase of a home. If you’re a veteran, don’t forget to ask about VA loans!
☑️ You can pay a mortgage each month. Be sure to factor in taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.
☑️ You’re tired of making someone else’s mortgage payment. Everyone needs a place to live. Would you rather that monthly payment go towards building equity in YOUR portfolio or someone else’s (i.e. your landlord’s?)

Buyers choosing Windermere increase their odds of succeeding in a competitive market because:
Windermere brokers receive extensive training on how to (a) craft the most competitive offer for their buyer, and (b) position it to have the greatest appeal to the seller
Windermere brokers adjust their negotiating techniques based on real-time market conditions
A market-wide survey of Northwest MLS agents indicated that they are more confident about completing transactions with Windermere brokers than with brokers from any other firm
