YourAustralianProperty, it is important to have an advocate on your side. Whether the transaction is simple or complex, a professional real estate buyer’s agent will assist you every step of the way. They will help you find properties that meet your criteria, provide advice on how much to offer and negotiate with sellers. They will also review contracts, answer questions and help you navigate any roadblocks that arise.
Experience:
When interviewing potential buyer’s agents, look for one who has a strong grasp of the local market. Specifically, ask how long they have been in the business and if they have sold or closed any properties in your neighborhood. Ask about their current client list, and be sure to request an up-to-date MLS report.
Preview properties:
The best buyers’ agents will preview and shortlist a selection of potential properties for their clients. In addition to this, they will usually accompany the client to all viewings. They will also be able to arrange for professional property inspections, recommend lawyers and other professionals, and connect the buyer with vendors such as painters or contractors.
Co-op board applications:
The most experienced NYC buyers’ agents will have a wealth of knowledge on the entire process of preparing and submitting a co-op board application. They will be able to coach and mentor the buyer prior to their co-op board interview and can often streamline the process so that the application is accepted the first time it is submitted.
