Here are 10 benefits why working with John is in your best interest.
1. John Will Get You a Better Price
When you use John in the purchase process, he will help you get the most for your budget. He knows when a home is priced well, or too high, or maybe even too low for the neighborhood it’s in. John wants your purchase price to be a great investment so you can reap the financial benefits of being a homeowner. John is knowledgeable about what certain features are worth and how that will impact your finances for years to come. Best part, John is there to ensure you don’t pay too much for your home or the neighborhood it’s in.
2. John Will Save You Time
If you ever sat down at the computer to start your home search you are already aware of how long this process can take. Searching for homes can be an endless time-consuming game. Once John understands the specifics of what you’re seeking in a home, he can work to weed out anything that doesn’t match your criteria. Also, John attend events and open houses all the time on behalf of their buyers, so he does not waste his buyers’ time. Working with John is the best way to eliminate looking at homes that simply will not work for you.
3. John Has Access To MLS
The Multiple Listing Service is one of the most effective communication tools in the home buying and selling marketplace. Unfortunately, you don’t always have access to it unless you’re working with a real estate agent. This isn’t to be confused with many of the online home search tools, as they don’t always contain all of the available listings which could hurt your search. The MLS is a powerful tool in the real estate industry that is designed to alert agents to things like open houses, new listing notifications and other useful tools to put you in the right place at the right time.
4. John Has an Inner Professional Network
The real estate professional network is unlike any other business network that you might be familiar with. Real estate agents are consistently interacting with each other about properties and discovering hidden gems along the way. This is not an inner network of people that you are likely to travel in the same circles with, so having access to that network will prove to be incredibly valuable in your home buying pursuits.
5. John’s Ethics and Expertise
The fundamental benefits of working with a Realtor are encompassed by the two great big “E’s”; Ethics and Expertise. Realtors voluntarily hold themselves to a higher standard and that’s important for the same reason that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath and attorney’s are sworn to a Code of Ethics. Realtors are professional fiduciaries, guided by principals, responsibilities, and rules of conduct that prioritize the client while preserving the dignity of, and respect for, real estate as a profession. Expertise is demonstrated in a variety of ways, including locating homes that meet often very specific wants and needs, pricing and valuation, knowledge of building code, writing binding contracts, unemotional negotiation, and the coordination required for a smooth closing. In what’s often the most significant purchase in one’s life, it’s critical to have an experienced Realtor by your side. Properly represented, you can expect to buy for less, and avoid intensely consequential mistakes.
6. John Knows the Lay Of The Land
One of the best features of working with John is that he fully understands the area he works in. For you, this translates into market knowledge, neighborhood background and real estate insights you may not otherwise be privy to. This will come in handy when you have specifics about what kind of neighborhood you want to live in, how far you want to commute to work, or what kind of schools you want your kids to attend. For example, you might find a home that you really adore; John will be able to tell you more about the neighborhood as far as things like the quality of the schools, crime rates or pending commercial development.
7. John Knows the Market
The real estate market is one that changes from week to week. Some changes are small like minor price fluctuations in a neighborhood, while others are more significant like interest rates. Each state, city and small municipality has their own real estate markets beyond what is happening on a national level. John is constantly monitoring these changes for his buyers which keeps you informed of all of these volatile details so you can purchase your new home at the best possible time.
8. John Understands Complex Transactions
John understands all of the complex processes that take place in a real estate transaction. For instance, the home inspection and being able to interpret unfamiliar details effectively to you. John will also understand communications from your loan officers and underwriters which will help you feel organized and highly aware of what is happening in your property transaction. As issues arise, or information is needed from you, John can quickly advise you on how to retrieve anything needed so your purchase can progress with less stress.
9. John Is Motivated to Find You A Home
John is highly motivated as his success is predicated on his ability to find you a home. In short, when buyers win, John wins
10. You Have Nothing to Lose!
When you hire John to help you find your next (or first) home, he will be working hard for you from the moment you sign an agent contract, to the moment you get the keys to your home. Typically, the commission for the Buyer’s Agent is paid by the Seller from their proceeds at closing. This means, when you hire John as your Realtor, it would cost you nothing and you will gain all the benefits.
