What would you do if you had an income tax or legal question regarding $200,000?

Who would you contact? Yes, most of us would find the best accountant or lawyer we could find! A home purchase often far exceeds $200,000 and many buyers don’t take it as seriously as they would a legal or tax concern.

Finding a Buyers Agent should be one of the very first steps you should take before you go finding a home. Let's look in more detail at what an exceptional Buyers Agent will do for you:

Represent you and your best interests, not the sellers
Respond honestly and accurately to your questions
Help you create a plan based on your wants and needs to find you the perfect home
Refer you to a lender that specializes in first-time home buyers to find the most favourable loan for your particular situation
Using the criteria you provide, they search all possible listings and properties
With their experience they can point out the strengths and weaknesses of each property
Give you the truth about a properties value, not its perceived value in the eyes of the seller or seller's agent
Provide honest, complete information about the neighbourhood and how this can affect a home's future value
Provide you with a compartative buyer's market analysis so you have a better idea of a home's value
Submit offers promptly and professionally
Negotiate the best price possible for you since they aren't working for the seller
Help guide you through home inspections, financing approval and condominium document review
Follow-up on the dozens of details from contract to closing to help ensure nothing gets missed
Be with you during your possession and walk-through in case there are any issues that need attending to
Follow-up with you after possession of your home to see if you need help with anything or questions answered
Most importantly, they keep your personal information private from the seller and other agents, something listing agents are obligated NOT TO DO!
