WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU

We can spot red flags. 

You might not know there’s a problem with the property until you’re sitting at the table. Working with an experienced buyer’s agent can make it easier to identify and navigate issues early in the process.

Better Access to Homes

We know the local market inside and out. Although most homes are listed online for buyers to explore, many sellers want to keep their sales rather private. There are many reasons for this, including nosey neighbours, divorce, financial struggle, health, or just family and friends in general that they might not want to know that they are selling their house.

In these instances, a real estate agent can prove to be quite helpful. They can provide you with exclusive access to a home that otherwise, you may have missed.

Negotiation

An experienced real estate agent can detect issues with a potential home that otherwise, may have gone unnoticed. They will review a home evaluation in great detail while observing the house for themselves as well.

In instances where some areas require improvement, your real estate agent can help to negotiate. This negotiation process includes having the seller repair the issue as a part of the agreement, or lowering the price to accommodate future renovations.

Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork

There’s no doubt about it, along with the sale of a home comes a copious amount of paperwork. Some of these documents can include the:

When it’s all said and done, you’ll probably have an entire shelf dedicated to the purchase of your new home. With all this paperwork comes signatures, records, and multiple copies. A real estate agent can help you track the paperwork, and most importantly, ensure that everything is signed and complete.

Not only that, but most real estate agents will keep your paperwork on file for many years following the sale. Although you should most definitely keep all this paperwork, if you have any questions or concerns down the road, your real estate agent is only a call away.

Here’s some of what you can expect to be dealing with:

Save Money

An experienced real estate agent has been around the block once or twice. This means that they will most often bring quite a bit of knowledge to the table when it comes to the value of certain neighbourhoods and homes. In fact, most experienced realtors can estimate the value of a home from the moment that they walk into the door.

They can guide you to the listings that offer the most opportunity to provide you with what you want, and at the price you want, too. In saying that, they can also avoid the listings that most likely won’t provide you with what you’re looking for, saving you both time and money.

Guidance and Support

As exciting as purchasing a home can be, it can also prove to be quite emotional and overwhelming as well. A real estate agent can provide you with guidance and support through each step. They will be at your side throughout each home viewing, helping you understand why the design of the home might work for you and your family, or why a home just isn’t worth investing in – due to costly repairs.

Your realtor can help you feel confident and at ease throughout the process, ultimately helping you make a decision that will benefit both you and your family for many years to come.

Finding the Right Homes

From customized pet bedrooms and backyard landscape designs, to open concept kitchens and elaborate vintage-style fireplaces, if there is something specific that you are looking for in a home, your real estate agent will know where to find it.

Real estate agents don’t want to waste your time or money. They are very attentive when it comes to finding you exactly what you’re looking for in a home.

Avoid Closing Issues

In the final hours before the home is officially yours, you don’t want any bumps in the road. An experienced realtor can foresee any issues from miles away, helping you overcome obstacles or resolve them before it’s too late.

Some closing issues can include:

• Document errors

• Mortgage delays
