3 Ways a Strong Agent Helps Buyers Win

Here’s how an agent helps buyers succeed in the real estate market.

In a hot seller’s market like ours, buyers need to have a strong, experienced agent who will advocate for any and all of their real estate needs. In particular, there are three key moments when a strong agent can make a world of difference:

1. When you write an offer: Writing an offer takes more than simply finding a place you like, deciding a price, and having the agent submit it. This approach will only lead to frustration and failure, which is why a good agent will do a number of things to improve your offer. An agent such as myself will do a full value report to help you understand the property’s pricing, letting you know whether the home is overpriced, underpriced, or fairly priced. I’ll also help you discover the seller’s motives, whether it’s money, time, or other terms. Additionally, I’ll learn all I can about your competitors to help you stand out. After we submit the offer, I will negotiate fiercely in order to get your offer accepted.

"These are just a few of the many ways that a strong agent can help you accomplish your real estate goals."

2. After inspection: The inspection might discover some issues with the house. It takes a strong agent to fight for your best interests by negotiating repairs, lowering the purchase price, and asking the seller to cover closing costs.

3. After appraisal: We might have a low appraisal, and lenders only give out loans for the appraised value. This is another instance where it’s good to have an agent who can negotiate the price down or have the seller pay some of the appraisal gap.

These are just a few of the many ways that a strong agent can help you accomplish your real estate goals. If you have any questions or you’d like to learn more about what I can offer you as an agent, feel free to reach out to me. Until then, I look forward to helping you soon.
