Buyer's RepresentationYour home might be one of the largest investments you and/or your family will ever make, and it involves many decisions that go far beyond simply choosing the home you like best! We strongly believe the home buyer has a right to equal and full representation just like the seller when their house is listed and marketed by a Real Estate Broker. As consumers learn more and more how the real estate industry works, they are demanding the services provided by an Exclusive Buyer's Agent. We understand purchasing a new home can be overwhelming not only emotionally but financially and legally as well. We provide our clients with the tools and knowledge necessary to make good sound investment decisions. Notify us by calling or e-mailing if you're interested in a personalized website that will automatically notify you when new properties come on the market that meet your criteria? Do home Buyers need the help of a Buyer Representative? Absolutely! When buyers work with a real estate professional completely committed to them, the home buying process is negotiated, facilitated and completed with the buyer's confidentiality and best interests in mind. The buyer should always be protected in a Real Estate transaction. Exactly what is a Buyer Representative? A Buyer Representative works solely for you (The Buyer) and has no responsibilities to the seller. Therefore, the buyer is represented throughout the transaction process with their best interests being the primary focus. Working with a Buyer Representative, you have the advantage of personal representation, independent counseling, loyalty, confidentiality and trust. Exclusive Buyer's agents devote their work to the buying side and are considered home buying experts. Can a Buyer Representative show us all properties on the market? Yes, a Buyer Representative can show you every home listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Real Estate Owned (REO) and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) properties. Additionally, a Buyer Representative can show you brand new and unlisted homes. Will a Buyer Representative disclose more information to us? Absolutely! Without a signed Buyer's Representation Agreement, according to Texas State Law, the Real Estate agent assisting you represents the seller not the buyer. A Buyer representative's fiduciary responsibility is to YOU, the buyer. When a signed Buyer's agreement is in place, the Realtor can be more forthcoming with information related to properties you're considering for purchase. Does a Buyer Representative make decisions for the buyer? No. A Buyer Representative is obligated to the buyer's interests and needs first; however, they do not make decisions without their client's consent. The Buyer Representative will disclose specifics about locations, property values, offering price, negotiations, counter offers, contingencies, financing, and the entire closing process. Armed with such detailed information, you'll be thoroughly prepared to make knowledgeable decisions right for you and your family. How do we negotiate a good price on a house? A Buyer Representative is qualified and skilled in the back and forth negotiations as well as financing queries that precede the closing of most real estate transactions. An exclusive Buyer's Agent will provide you with valuable information needed to negotiate the best price and terms for you. A Buyer Representative will arm you with housing information such as price comparisons on homes sold in the last six months, any known property liens, the home's available sales history and other information necessary before making an offer. The Buyer Representative represents and protects YOU! What did you mean by "confidentiality?" A Buyer Representative is legally obligated to you. The Bedard Team will maintain absolute privacy with regard to financial and personal information. That's an important benefit of working closely with a qualified Buyer Representative. More questions?
