Buyer Tools

Buyers who are represented by a realtor traditionally do not pay a penny for the transaction of a real estate sale. Therefore, generally this makes the sellers responsible for the real estate commission fees. This arrangement compensates the buyer’s agent for bringing the property to the transaction.

It is more advantageous to a buyer to be represented by a Realtor rather than attempting to buy a property on their own. As your agent, I can provide the following services to you:

1. I can assist you in developing a “wish list” of your wants and needs
2. I have easy access to the majority of listings and can utilize my Home/Property Search Tool (located on this web site) to find the listings that meet your criteria. This narrows the search and saves valuable time
3. I have the capability of programming our internal computer system to immediately flag properties as they go on the market and email this information to you. This gives both of us the advantage of rapid response
4. I can assist you with any property listed with any Real Estate Agency

A buyer’s satisfaction is dependent upon a positive experience. The process begins with the buyer doing their homework and determining a number of factors including but not limited to:

1. What can you afford?
2. What can you qualify for?
3. What would your approximate monthly note be?
4. What would the approximate taxes, insurance, etc be?

I can assist you with this by working closely with your mortgage broker and the tax assessor’s office. Also, www.LafayetteAssessor.com can provide the current taxes on any property that you are interested in.

Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments that an individual will make in their life time. Therefore, please allow me to assist you in finding the home of your dreams and making the experience as effortless and stress free as possible.
