top 10 reasons

DON”T BUY A HOUSE WITHOUT READING THIS!

 Here are the top 10 reasons for using a buyer's agent like Angie Pike of Keller Williams Huntsville. 

1. It's FREE - That's right, hiring a buyer's won't cost you a thing. It's the seller who pays the commission, not the buyer.

 2. It's Convenient -, Targeting the right neighborhoods, finding homes that fit your criteria and scheduling showings can be a full time job. If you already work 9-5 it can become daunting and overwhelming very quickly. 

3. Market Knowledge - As great as convenience is the most important service a buyer's agent brings to the table is market knowledge. Understanding the local market is key to finding the best home at the best price possible. And market knowledge is something that isn't easily attained in a short period of time. 

4. Professional Negotiation - Making an offer and negotiating with a seller is by far one of the most specialized parts of the home buying process

 5. Professional Connections - Getting to the closing table requires the expertise of a number of professionals. Lenders, inspectors, surveyors just to name a few. Buyer's agents have worked with a number of providers, both great and not so good. When you hire a buyer's agent you get access to their network rather than having to research and build relationships from scratch. 

6. Insider Knowledge - Wouldn't it be great to know about a home that's going up for sale before it's listed? Realtors has access to many properties not yet on the market What about having sellers call you to let you know they are interested in selling their home? It's possible if you have a buyer's agent like Angie Pike of Keller Williams Huntsville When there was not much inventory in a particular neighborhood, we sent out a marketing letter to the 65 homes that the buyer had interest in, based on curb appeal, and within 2 months one of the sellers called us, before it went on the market. 

7. Access to Comps/Sales Info – Comparables , are extremely valuable when you're considering how much to offer on a home. Agents have access to the latest sales prices of comparable homes and can help you submit an offer that will be acceptable to both parties, which is one of the biggest reasons to hire a buyer's agent. A real estate buyers broker researches and conducts a Comparable Market Analysis for the property type, market and neighborhood to ensure that you do not pay more for the property. This is just one way that a buyer's agent can save you money during the home buying process. 

8. Help Identifying Your Needs - This is one of the significant benefits of using a buyer's agent. "A buyer's agent will help you [buyers] prioritize your needs. Most people have so many wants that it is very difficult for you to narrow it down to a place where you they might actually find a home that fits at least your top needs."

9. Mitigator of Emotions - Buying a home stirs up a lot of emotions, which is to be expected. However, if those emotions aren't kept in check it can cause many problems that could otherwise be avoided. Being a mitigator of emotions is one of an agent's most important roles. " A good agent removes the 'emotion' in a transaction and helps all the parties keep on track with their goals and more or less 'neutralizes' most situations." 

10. Knowledge of Industry Standards, Legalities and Writing a Contract - "Buyers representing themselves will always leave too much on the table. They don't understand the issue of disclosures, they don't understand negotiating and they don't understand that this is a legal contract. It is probably the single largest purchase they will make in their lives, they need to know they are well represented, legally protected and getting real value for their money The two most common causes of lawsuits in real estate transactions are...1. Fraud, 2. Failure to disclose. Don't best-guess through the laundry list of disclosure's mandatory to a real estate transaction. Use a professional like Angie Pike of Keller Williams Huntsville. You may be able to search for homes on your own, but submitting an offer which may become a legally binding contract is not something you want to do by yourself. If nothing else, an experienced buyer's agent can give you assurance that contracts are written up correctly and protect your interests.

The Easy Exit Listing Agreement

Real estate professionals make all kinds of promises and claims when it comes to winning your business.  Mine is simple.  If you’re not satisfied with the services I’m providing, you can cancel our listing agreement at any time.

Cancel your listing anytime

My belief is that if your agent is doing their job and working hard, you won’t have any reason to cancel your listing agreement.  If they’re not doing their job, you should have the right to find someone who will.  My listing agreement protects sellers and gives them the right to cancel our agreement at anytime.

Relax, you won’t be locked into a lengthy, binding contract

Did you know that hiring an agent to sell your home involves signing a contract (aka an “Exclusive Right to Sell”) that obligates you to that brokerage (not the agent) for a specific time frame outlined in the contract?  Often this can be 6 months or even a year.  This means that if you are not satisfied with the attention and service you’re receiving from your agent, you cannot simply fire them.  This leaves all kinds of room for your agent to put a sign in your yard and well, slack off.

Only a marketing plan that works can make this offer

My marketing plan works.  That’s why I can offer a cancel-anytime listing agreement.  These days over 90% of home buyers are starting their property search online.  To successfully sell your home, you need an agent that understands this changing landscape. That uses old techniques as well as new.  That understands social media, search engine optimization, listing syndication, and much more.  I know how to market your property.

To learn more or discuss my services in depth, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
