Why have a buyer's agent? A lot of folks think that all they do is unlock a door. Being a seller and a buyer representative, I can tell you there is much more than that to the buyer agent role.
Most of the time, finding a home is the easiest part. The harder part is the negotiations, documents, property research, late-night and weekend phone calls, tracking inspections, re-negotiations, addendums, due diligence requests, managing timelines, and everything else that goes into a single transaction. A recent example is that I went and made a home tour video for one of my long-distance clients.
My checklist has 30-60 items for the buyer side. I can only speak for myself, and what I do for my folks, but there are a lot of great agents out there who also make their buyers their number one priority and spend months or years working with them to find that special place.
On August 17th, REALTORS will be required to have a buyers agency agreement / buyer representative agreement signed before showing a property in-person or virtually. It is a rule that every REALTOR is required to honor.
North Carolina has had these agreements for many years, but now they will be required nationwide BEFORE a buyer can tour a property. Previously in NC, they were only required before an agent submitted a written or oral offer.
The seller already has an agent looking out for them and helping them with the ins and outs. Why shouldn't you?
Feel free to contact me if you need a buyers agent in Asheville or the surrounding area, including Weaverville, Marshall, Mars Hill, Burnsville all the way to Waynesville to look out for you in a transaction.
I also work as a seller's agent, so if you have a home to sell in my area, please feel free to contact me for a consultation.
I look forward to meeting you!
