10 Things Real Estate Agents Do for Buyers
Your agent has lengthy list of things that they do from the start of real estate transaction to closing of escrow. Here are just handful of things that real estate agents do for buyers.
1. Help You Get Mortgage
Your agent will assist you in finding the right lender to work with and will counsel you on working effectively with them.
2. Narrow Down Your Home Search
Your real estate agent will work with the needs and wants you have listed and will focus on properties that meet your criteria, including your price range.
3. Draft a Solid Offer
Your agent will ensure that your offer is a sound one that protects you and impress the seller.
4. Negotiate a Good Price
Experienced realtors know the value of what they are helping their clients buy. As such, they’ll negotiate on your behalf to make sure you never pay more than you have to.
5. Attend the Inspection
Every buyer agent should be present at the home inspection and ask the right questions about the condition of the home.
6. Negotiate Repair
The negotiations don’t stop at the initial offer. If there are any issues discovered during the home inspection, your agent will help you negotiate with the seller to either get them to make the repairs or cover their cost.
7. Recommend Professionals
Home inspectors, contractors, lenders and other professionals are often part of the real estate equation, and your agent will be able to recommend those that are highly reputable.
8. Communicate with Seller’s Agent
You and the seller will remain on the same page throughout the entire closing process thanks to your agent’s role in communicating all pertinent information between each party.
9. Monitor Your Mortgage Commitment
Your agent should keep tabs on the status of your mortgage and guide you about what to do – and not do – before your home loan has been finalized.
10. Help You Navigate the Escrow Process
There’s a lot that happens during escrow before deal closes, and your agent will help you throughout this process in a streamlined manner.
