Why You Should Work With a Buyers Agent

Find a Buyers Agent in Gladwin, Michigan.

Why should you work with a Buyers Agent?

Buying a home may be the largest and most complex financial transaction you ever understake. If you're ready to buy a home you need to find a buyers agent so you can work with the most qualified real estate professional you can find.

An Accredited Buyers Representative stands out in the crowd. If your Realtor holds the ABR designation, you can trust that they have the extra edge when it comes to KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

WHY should you find a buyers agent?

The ABR designation is only awarded to licensed real estate professionals who complete specialized training that gives them the edge in understanding a buyer's perspective and protecting and promoting their buyer clients interest. Before earning the ABR designation, buyers agents must also demonstrate proven experience in representing buyers. Further, they are committed to maintaining their professional edge by staying current on the latest issues and trends in buyer representation.

When you work with a buyers agent you'll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests when you find a buyers agent. They'll make your home buying experience go as smoothly and successfully as possible.

You can expect your Buyers Agent to:

  • Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties.
  • Assist you in determining how much you can afford (pre-qualify your mortgage)
  • Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties
  • Advise you in formulating your offer
  • Help you develop your negotiating strategy
  • Provide a list of qualified vendors (inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other services you may need
  • Keep track of every detail throughout the transaction - to closing and beyond
  • Not all buyer's agents are equal

Only a buyers agent who has earned the Accredited Buyers Representative designation has made the extra effort to raise the bar, with additional training and experience. If you find a buyers agent and work with an ABR you can feel confident that you'll receive the hightest level of buyer representation services. The ABR is awarded by the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council.
