What is A Buyers Agent in Real Estate?

Having a buyer’s agent is essential when buying a house in Carroll County MD and the surrounding areas, including Pennsylvania . If you try to buy a house without hiring a buyer’s agent, you are putting yourself at a great disadvantage, and more importantly, at great risk!

Why Do You Need a Buyers Agent?

When buying a house in Carroll County and the surrounding areas, you need someone in your corner, someone who will work for you, who you can trust and rely on…someone who is with you every step of the way, someone who has your back, who will negotiate for you, someone who is 100% dedicated to YOU throughout your home buying journey.

What Does a Buyers Agent Do?

A buyer’s agent will share confidential information with home buyers that a seller’s agent is not permitted to share. A buyers agent will also keep all conversations with you confidential.

A dedicated buyers agent will also:

Help Buyers Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

Help Buyers Find a House

Help Buyers Make Their Best Offer

Negotiate on the Buyers Behalf

Schedule & Attend Inspections

Navigate Inspection Repair Requests

Deal with the Appraisal

Communicate With Everyone

Help Buyers Prepare for Closing

Avoid the Top 3 Mistakes Home Buyers Make

 

   They Don’t Speak with Several Different Lenders

Just like each auto insurance company offers different coverages and rates, each lender offers different mortgage types, interest rates and fees. Loan types can include Conventional, FHA, USDA, VA. Additionally, there are a variety of grant programs available and the Maryland Mortgage Program. However, not every lender offers these programs. Homebuyers who do their homework will find the best program to meet their needs. Melissa can assist you in finding the best program for your needs.

They Make “Low-Ball” Offers on a House

This strategy rarely works and often results in disappointment. Submitting a low offer is insulting to homesellers, and many times another buyer comes along at the same time. That buyer makes a better offer and ends up buying the house. The availability of public data rarely justifies “low balling”. Melissa can help you decide upon what price to offer.

They Don’t Work with a Buyer’s Agent

Just like you wouldn’t go to court without your own attorney, buyers shouldn’t buy a house without their own dedicated buyer’s agent. Listing agents work exclusively for the seller and can offer no advice to a buyer.  Buying a house from the listing agent only benefits that agent’s pockets.  A buyer’s agent costs homebuyers nothing, ensures confidentiality, and provides expert guidance throughout the entire process.
