Consultation & Preparation

DEVELOPING AN ORGANIZED HOME BUYING PLAN 
Consultation and Preparation - Buyers

Our Buyer Representation Services

Personal buyer consultation
Buying a home that fits your current needs and wants is important, and so is considering your future needs and wants. We spend time listening and learning about your current situation and preferences, as well as your goals for the future. We also make sure we provide you with enough information about market conditions so that together, we can form an effective home buying plan.
 
Developing a plan
Once you have hired our real estate team to represent you, we will develop your organized home buying plan.
 
Execution of your home buying plan
Throughout the home buying process, we provide you with many options, creative ideas and strategies that will position you to prevail in a competitive and sometimes complicated real estate market. We will locate and present selected properties to you as well as present your authorized purchase offers, and negotiate any counter offers to your approval and acceptance.
 
Finding the right home
Searching for your next home can be both exciting and frustrating – it also can be full of surprises and disappointments.
 
While we cannot take the emotion out of purchasing a home, we can help you make the most informed decision possible. To do that, we have developed a home buying plan that educates, guides, and provides home buyers with the strategies and resources to find the right home and to build wealth through real estate.
 
Our contract negotiation expertise
Negotiating real estate purchase offers and contracts is not easy. We have over 1000 transactions that have successfully completed. Contract negotiation and formation are a strength of our real estate consultants.

  • We confirm the property’s market value before we begin negotiating and submit your offer 
  • We help you understand every clause and provision within the contract you approve
  • We evaluate and advise you on any home buying contingencies included in the contract to protect your rights and interests
  • We craft detailed purchase agreements to eliminate surprises and costly oversights
 
Key benefits of our Buyer Representation Agreement
  • Property to be acquired - Specifies what, where and how much. Useful to identify the Broker’s geographic areas when you are looking in multiple regions with more than one Broker
  • Agency Relationship - Confirms your approval and understanding of single agency and dual agency representation with your Broker
  • Confirmation of agency relationship - Identify when an agency relationship might shift from a Buyer’s Exclusive Agency to a Dual Agency
  • Other potential buyers - Provides the required disclosure that the Broker may represent more than one buyer for the same properties you are seeking to acquire
  • Non-confidentiality of offers - Buyers are usually unaware and assume that an offer presented to a seller is confidential
  • Compensation to Broker - Identify the compensation buyer is obligated to pay Broker (if any) and the compensation protection period beyond the Buyer Representation Agreement expiration date
  • Buyer obligation to pay compensation - Confirms if anyone other than the buyer compensates Broker for services covered in this agreement such as the Seller via their MLS Buyer’s Agent Compensation offering, that amount shall be credited toward the buyer obligation to pay compensation. If the amount of compensation exceeds the compensation specified, it shall be disclosed
  • Broker authorizations and obligations - Clearly defines what you have authorized and states the Broker’s duties to perform – meets DRE Standard of Care guidelines. Authorizations may be expanded by using Authorization to Receive and Convey Information
  • Scope of Broker duty - Clearly defines what duties will and will not be performed by Broker. Provides clarity for you so you know what to expect from the Broker. Meets DRE Standard of Care guidelines. Scope of Duty may be expanded by mutual written agreement using Buyer Material Issues addendum
  • Buyer obligations - Clearly defines buyer obligations within the Buyer Representation Agreement
  • Dispute resolution - Mediation versus Arbitration – These provisions are also contained in the CAR Purchase Agreement. It is good to know in advance of writing a purchase offer about your options on dispute resolution. Meets DRE Standard of Care guidelines
  • Early Cancellation Clause - Allows you to cancel the Representation Agreement any time before entering into a binding contract to purchase a home
 
Our team coordinates every aspect of your purchase transaction.
We provide a needs analysis and investment scenario plan designed to meet your individual requirements. We offer numerous choices on lending resources to ensure the right fit for you.
 
Our Satisfaction Guarantee allows you to cancel our Buyer Representation Agreement without obligation at any time prior to accepting an offer.
 
Our diligent escrow coordination and tracking produces status reports, coordinates all needed property investigations, inspections, and document processing for your transaction.
