Can my real estate agent represent me on new construction?

January 24, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Can my real estate agent represent me on new construction?

Yes! You can and should use a real estate agent to represent you with a new construction home purchase.

If you skip using a real estate agent for building a new construction home, you will be entering into a complicated, legally-binding contract for hundreds of thousands of dollars WITHOUT representation. Doesn’t that sound like a very bad idea?

You might say, “But there is an agent working for me with the builder.” Unfortunately, that’s where many people are misinformed. The agent you meet at a model home or when you call a builder, does not work for you. That is the “Builder’s Rep” and they work for the builder. Without your own real estate agent, there is no one watching out for your best interests.

Bottom Line: When making quite possibly the biggest purchase of your life, you definitely want your own real estate agent to represent you.

Why Use a Real Estate Team Instead of a Single Agent

January 24, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Why Use a Real Estate Team Instead of a Single Agent

Are you trying to decide if you should use a real estate team instead of a single agent? You might be wondering what the difference really is. The difference is actually very significant, and can affect whether or not your experience is easy and stress-free.

Have you ever considered all the different hats a Realtor must wear for any given real estate transaction? Many people don’t realize all that a Realtor does aside from put a sign in a yard and show homes. The real estate market and buying/selling process has become very complicated, and it’s very rare to find a single agent who can skillfully handle all the different aspects of a real estate transaction. When you use a real estate team instead of a single agent, you get:

Focused, Expert Agents – A Real Estate Team is made up of several team members including Listing Specialists, Buyer Specialists, a Transaction Coordinator, a Marketing Director, and Inside Sales Associates. The team members specialize in their own aspect of the home buying and selling process. They need not try to juggle all the balls that a single agent must. Every part of the buying or selling process is handled with care, expertise, and 100% focus. Single agents cannot possibly provide this at such a high level as they are juggling all of the aspects of a real estate transaction and often for several different clients at a time.

Intensive Marketing – A Marketing Director does all the marketing for the team and their clients. This position is especially important to home sellers, as they provide much more intensive marketing for your home than a single agent would have the time or resources for.

A Higher Level of Client Care – Realtors who are part of a team have support staff to help make the process a breeze for you as a client. Such team members are completely client-focused and are available at all times to answer questions and help you with any concerns you may have throughout the process. Having such a team makes for much more happy and satisfied clients.

The Bottom Line? When you use a real estate team instead of a single agent, you will get much better results in less time with your home buying or selling experience.
