What you need to know before
purchasing a property in Florida.
Real estate agents are required by law to have their buyers’ best interests in mind when trying to strike a deal, and this is their fiduciary responsibility. A buyer’s agent will serve as your advocate as you interact with sellers and their listing agents.
Buying a Property
A home purchase is often the largest financial transaction that a person makes in life. With that said, it’s important to have an expert on your side that can advise helping you obtain the best outcome.
Real estate deals have many moving parts. When it comes time to negotiate, you will want a neutral, third-party advocate in your corner.
Even if negotiation tactics are a strength of yours, it helps to have an understanding of the current market standards to know what you should be requested from the seller.
Understanding the Market
Your agent will know things like: How much are sellers generally paying in closing costs?
When low-ball offers, bidding wars or contract contingencies come into play, your agent will bring their expertise to the table to provide the best outcome.
When shopping for a home, it is crucial to understand the market values of homes and how to compare properties.
An experienced agent will be able to conduct research and present you with plenty of data on the current state of the market.
Additionally, they will be able to advise you if a home you’re looking at is priced way above market value or below.
