The Buyer Consultation--Goal 3
YOU CAN SAY
EXPLAIN BUYER AGENCY REPRESENTATION-- Provide a clear and concise overview of the legal contract you are asking your buyers to sign.
Right now, you do not have any representation. If you sign a Buyer Representation Agreement with me as your agent, my responsibility would be to protect your best interests.
Buying a house is one of the most significant purchases of your life –I tell my buyers that I am the pilot of their home-buying experience. Like on most flights, there might be some turbulence, but wouldn’t you want the best professionals representing you during that time of uncertainty?
Signing a Buyer Representation Agreement doesn't obligate you to purchase a home, it's just choosing me as your representative to help you find and negotiate the purchase of a home. With this commitment, I can dedicate time and energy to working with lenders, inspectors, and everyone in between so you don’t have to!
ASK BUYERS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED-- Share what the buyer can do to work together, always emphasizing the importance of a partnership.
You will likely continue to search for homes online and will find more driving around. As you do, I ask that you keep me in the loop. I can immediately look up the information to provide you with the details you’re looking for. And I will do the same – if I learn of anything new that may be coming soon that fits your criteria I will keep you informed.
I can ensure you have proper representation throughout the process so that you are safe and your best interests are protected.
If your situation changes, let me know as soon as possible so we can adjust our plan accordingly. Also, if you ever feel dissatisfied with my service, please let me know immediately so that I can resolve any concerns.
FSBOs
If you see a FSBO, call me and I will request a showing to protect your time and potential safety by allowing me to assess the home and credibility of the owner. Moreover, if the seller has no agent on their side, it is even more critical that your agent help guide the transaction.
OPEN HOUSES
If you go to an Open House without me, present my card to the Open House agent so they know you are represented. You don’t want to deal with all the follow-up calls—I’ll protect you from the hassle.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
If you visit a new home development—present my card so they know you are represented. Don’t sign anything unless I am present. Those agents represent the developer and cannot protect your interest like I can or negotiate on your behalf.
ASK THE BUYER TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER
If you believe I’m giving you the best professional help and working in your best interest, we will work together until I find the right home for you. I’m excited to get started!
