What is a “Buyer’s Agent”?
A buyer’s agent is someone who accompanies you through the sales process as opposed to the seller’s agent who is working with the seller.
It doesn't matter if you are local, thousand of miles away on the other side of the pond, in Central, South America or Canada why wouldn’t you engage a local Buyer’s Agent in the Orlando area?
Here in the US the real estate agents/Realtors have access to all the properties available as well as knowledge about the new communities under construction and yet to be built. You can spend many hours searching through Zillow or Trulia and still not know what is actually available in your price range and area. We Realtors have updated information which we can present to you in various ways depending on how much detail you actually prefer upfront. Just let us know what you want and we can help. www.homesinlakenona.com
The internet has made it easy to research properties online. However you don’t know if there is going to be a highway built at the back of your house or if the property is on the busy flight path to the airport.
A house might look great on the picture, even though it may be many miles from the next grocery store or next to a sewage treatment plant. Many customers have believed ahead of looking that they have found the right house only to be severely disappointed when they finally saw the property in person.
Buyer’s agents play an important role during ant real estate transaction, they coordinate and assist the buyer through the process of buying a home, explain the intricacies of the process which are very different depending on the home country of the buyer.
A good agent will work behind the scenes. See below for a few of the of the agents tasks:
- Advise the buyers through out the home buying process
- Coordinate showings so that you can spend the majority of your time
- enjoying Florida rather than getting lost and overwhelmed driving around. Distances here are often underestimated by overseas buyers.
- Educate buyers on the key aspects of the market. You might really want a large home close to Disney and not need it to be close to the central business district of Orlando. The price is going to vary depending on location.
- Keep an eye on alternative homes in the market place
- Negotiate the purchase
- Prepare the contract
- Help the buyers set up inspections
- Renegotiate the price if repairs are required after the inspection.
- Attend the walk thru prior to closing
- Attend the closing at the title company selected by the seller in Central Florida.
