So you're thinking about buying a home, you've been combing through properties on Zillow for months on your couch, you've crunched numbers and talked to a lender (or maybe you haven't yet), and you are wondering where to start.

A buyer’s agent is a real estate professional who is legally licensed to represent you as a buyer and your interests, as opposed to a seller’s agent who has the seller’s best interests at heart.
What does a buyer's agent do for you?
1. ๐๐ฅ๐ถ๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด. I will help you understand what to expect, and what you need to be ready for, as well as answer any and all questions that you may have.
2. ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐บ and point out good features, as well as potential red flags such as maintenance issues or expensive items that need replaced.
3. ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฐ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ง and help you decide on a fair price based on comparable homes that have sold nearby. As your agent, I will negotiate throughout the entire transaction and keep you up to speed on the dates and deadlines to make sure you close on time.
Not only will I work with you to understand exactly what you are looking for in a home, I will also identify homes to show, schedule showings, plan out the best routes, drive from house to house, talk to the listing agents, and find out everything I can about the homes that we are seeing. I help schedule the inspection and negotiate any repairs or credits, as well as find specific contractors to look into a potential issue if need be. I also communicate with your lender, the appraiser, the home inspector, the other agent, the home insurance company, AND on top of it all I handle all of the paperwork (which is a ton)! ๐๐บ ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฃ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ข ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ, and that's why I love it!
Buying a home will likely be the most expensive purchase you will ever make, and the home you end up with will affect your quality of life (and that of your family) for the foreseeable future. So make sure you trust the agent you are hiring to represent you!
