How often do you purchase realestate? Once, twice, three times in your lifetime?
So you can hardly be expected to know all the ins and outs of such a major transaction complicated by so many details.
My Buyer's Services:
My job as your buyer’s agent is to make this important purchase go as smooth as possible. I start by forming a relationship with my clients. Listening to your needs, making suggestions and giving guidance. Finding you the perfect home is only the beginning. Once we identify a property, I advocate on your behalf from unveiling critical information to negotiating the best price, terms and conditions. All this is at NO cost to you.
I work with a team of experts in their field from financing to attorney’s to make sure everything is going as it should. I like to call this “managing the process”. From start to finish you will benefit from my experience and knowledge. I want to make this a fun and positive experience. And remember, I can sell you any property in Massachusetts even for sale by owners.
Let's get started!
1. Don't settle for just any agent when you can pick a Fantastic Agent!
2. Assess your credit and finances by getting pre-approved by a lender
3. Search for your new home and tour properties
4. The more properties you see the better so when attending open houses remember to sign in my name so the listing agent knows I'm representing you as your buyer's agent.
5. Make an offer and negotiate price and terms
What is a Buyer’s Agent?
Defined most simply, a buyer’s Agent (or buyer’s representation) is an advocate for the buyer in a real estate transaction.
Why Should you Use a Buyer’s Agent?
The two most important reasons to use a buyer’s agent are protection and efficiency.
According to NAR research, buyers who work with a buyer’s representative find their homes quicker, while viewing more properties in their search, than buyers who do not engage a buyer’s representative.
Get Pre-approved!
In the greater Boston real estate market a seller in most cases will not accept an offer without a pre-approval. So it's important to have a strong pre-approval letter that goes along with all offers. I can refer you to excellent local lenders.
START LOOKING FOR A HOME:
The decisions you make in the home-buying process will determine the neighborhood
and home where you will live—and the financial terms by which you will pay for your
home. But with so many neighborhoods and all the homes on the market in each one,
narrowing your choices can be a harrowing task, especially if you’re not familiar with the
area. As your buyer's agent, I can be invaluable, helping you find resources to learn
what you need to know to make informed decisions.

Making the Best Deal: Why Making the Deal is a Big Deal!
Once you’ve found the home you want to place an offer on, the next step is reaching
an agreement with the owner about the price, how and when you can buy it.
Throughout this process, there are many important considerations that can impact your
finances, tax situation, and legal obligations. When you consider that you will live with
the decisions you make about these issues—perhaps for a long time—just how big a
deal your home purchase is becomes obvious.
As your buyer's agent, I can help you navigate the way through much of the
transaction process, but may also advise you to consult legal and tax experts.
Negotiating
Assess your negotiating position prior to making an offer. Here are some basic rules to
help you.
You are in a strong bargaining position (the seller will look favorably on your offer) if:
• You are an all-cash buyer.
• You are pre-approved for a mortgage.
• You do not have a house you need to sell, or other contingency that must be met,
before you can purchase the home.
With these factors in your favor, you may be able to negotiate a reduction on the listed
price. On the other hand, in a “hot” seller’s market, if your “perfect” home comes on
the market, you may want to offer the list price (or more) to beat out other offers.
• It may also be helpful to find out why the house is being sold and if the seller is under
pressure to close a deal quickly. Consider that:
• Every month a vacant house remains unsold represents considerable added
expense for the seller.
• If the sellers are divorcing, they may just want to close quickly.
• An estate sale often yields a bargain in return for a promptly closed transaction.
