Work with a Pro!

 If you have ever purchased, built, or sold a home you know it can be a challenging and stressful experience.  Having the right agent working for you is your best strategy for making the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

As a seller, once you’ve decided on the agent you want to represent you in the sale of your home, she will provide you with a Listing Agreement. This document outlines the agreed-upon specifics of the agency relationship.  Most people understand that they will sign this type of contract with the agent who will be working to sell their home. Buyers, however, don’t always think of contracting with an agent from the very beginning to help them find and purchase their homes.

If you’ve started looking at houses online, or driving neighborhoods, you may have already contacted one or more agents to ask questions about particular properties. Maybe you aren’t quite ready to get serious and just want to be able to ask questions without any pressure to commit. However, you may have noticed that your wish to keep things “casual” leads to a barrage of marketing inquiries flooding your inboxes. By selecting an agent during the initial stages of your search and signing a Buyer's Representation Agreement with her, you will have access to all of the information you need to make your choice, and you won’t have to feel pressured by every agent you contact for information or meet at an Open House.

If you choose to inquire about properties on your own, you simply have to tell the agent that you are already working with, for example,  Jennifer Courbier at Keller Williams Rockwall, Trinity Properties Group, :)  or whomever. But, you won’t really even need to do that. When you hire an agent, she has access to all of the information about all houses listed in your area. She can go to Open Houses with you if you’d like or visit builders with you if you decide you’d like to start from scratch! Another benefit for you is that you have someone working for you with your interests as her number one priority. You don’t have to wonder if the agent with whom you speak is giving you the full story because he is trying to make a sale. Your agent works for you and no one else. She knows the right questions to ask, what to help you look for, and how to give you the information you need to make the best offering price when the time comes.

The Buyer’s Representation Agreement extends for the amount of time decided upon by you and your agent. It can be for as little or as long as you choose. Your agent will do her best to show you homes that meet your criteria, help you decide on an offering price, present your offer, write the contract and make sure everything is done to bring you to closing day without issue. Finally, the Buyer’s Representation Agreement ensures that your agent will be paid once you close on your dream home. The advantage is yours when listing or buying when you contract with a great realtor. I’d love the opportunity to serve you in either capacity, so give me a call. I believe you’ll be glad you did!  Visit https://jennifercourbier.kw.com or call (214) 384-0569 today!
