We're sure you've heard the old saying,
"It's not what you know - that is going to get you
in trouble, it's what you Do Not Know." Here's
one example -
Many first-time and
experienced home buyers make the mistake of
driving neighborhoods, which can be a good way
to familiarize yourself with homes, schools,
parks, walkways, etc. When they spot a
home of interest they phone the listing office
from telephone numbers on the sign for
additional information.
Please note: The
listing office and the listing agent
work for and legally represent the seller - not the
buyer ! At a minimum, their motivation and
purpose are to get the home sold as quickly as
possible and for the highest price.
So,
who is going to represent your interests every step of
the way through home shopping, buying and
closing process, which may include as
many of 150 or more steps?
It
should be obvious that you
deserve and need an experienced broker working
and legally representing your best interests
throughout the home buying process. That
is precisely why Colorado has passed laws to
help protect the interests of home buyers and
thereby reduce risks, problems and the potential
for serious litigation. One important
piece of consumer protection legislation
provided a new real estate agreement, called the
Buyer's Agency Agreement, which provides
the opportunity to hire and retain the services
of a real estate professional to specifically
work for you and represent your best interests
throughout the home buying process.
To
execute a Buyer's Agency Agreement and to have your own
broker (Buyer's Agent) is a simple
process and there is most often no cost to the
new home buyers!
Keep in mind that if you
do not have a broker representing your best
interests, attorney fees and legal representation
later on could get
very expensive should a dispute arise.
And unfortunately real estate disputes do arise everyday!
The
responsibilities of the Buyer Agent additionally
includes helping you discover and find the best
homes that meet your wishes and needs.
This is accomplished by sending you photos and summaries of houses that
best match the criteria of what you are
interested in, sent directly to you via email,
helping you connect with top lending
professionals and arranging the best financing,
and overseeing your new home purchase from start
to successful finish.
In summary, if there are a host of benefits to employing your
own Buyer's Agent, and it doesn't
cost anything, it simply makes excellent
business sense to have
an experienced, licensed, certified real estate
professional working and representing your
families best interests?

professionalism - guaranteed !

What about
shopping for homes on the Internet
Despite advertising claims to the contrary, the
internet is NOT a substitute for an experienced
Real Estate Professional.
Internet data is quite often incomplete and
out-dated data, which can be very misleading.
The very newest listings often do not become
available sometimes until days after they hit
the data systems that real estate professionals
have access to.
Further, homes that go under contract are
required to be posted as "under contract" and
off the market in data systems available to real
estate professionals. However, internet
data is delayed data and therefore the homes you
are viewing might very well be sold and
unavailable.
The internet cannot consult, counsel, advise,
have knowledge of local laws and market
conditions, make judgments, "own" the result, or
most importantly, understand your individual
goals and needs, and care about you as a client."
Simply stated, the
most timely, accurate and complete new home data
is available from your real estate professional
who is a member and subscribes to a variety of
data information services.
