Whether you are a first time buyer, looking for a vacation get-away or searching for the perfect retirement spot, purchasing property requires dedicated effort and current knowledge of the market. The Buyer’s Agent of Asheville has built its reputation on providing unique market intelligence and unparalleled client service. It all starts with giving you some straight answers.
1. What is an “exclusive buyer’s agent?” The Buyer’s Agent of Asheville is a company of agents skillfully trained to represent only homebuyers. We have no listings of our own which means we provide you an unbiased look at the market unlike traditional agents who push their own listings. Our allegiance is to the needs of the buyer, to resolve issues and negotiate the lowest price possible. 2. How much does it cost to work with you and The Buyer’s Agent of Asheville? I receive a percentage of the co-brokered fee just like traditional agents (Typically the sales commission is factored into the asking price by the seller). It costs nothing additional to work with me than any other real estate agent or agency. In fact, when you consider that my company saves clients an average of over $7500 per home purchase, it could cost you a lot less! 3. If you are paid a commission based on the sale price of a home, what is the incentive to negotiate a lower price for me? Saving you $10,000 on the price you pay for a home reduces my commission by $300. I believe that this is a small price to pay for the lasting benefit of a satisfied client, and that’s the best kind of advertising money can buy. 4. Will I have to sign an agreement to utilize your services and those of The Buyer’s Agent of Asheville? Yes. It’s your permission to have us act in your best interest. You dictate the length of our relationship; one week, one year, you decide. You always have the power to withdraw and end the relationship anytime. 5. Why should I commit to just one agent? Wouldn’t it be better if I had more than one agent or firm looking for houses for me? All agents have access to the same listing inventory. Using one agent avoids time-consuming duplicated efforts and insures that you will receive the same loyal treatment in turn. 6. Since I need to sell my house before I can buy another, why not have my listing agent also act as my buyer’s agent? You deserve a totally unbiased view of the market. Any agent who works for an agency that lists homes for sale simply cannot provide you that. I have no listings of my own because The Buyer’s Agent of Asheville works only for buyers. My sole motivation is to find and show you homes that meet your needs. I will give you an honest tour of the market and act as an advocate of your best interests.
7. By working with a traditional listing agency, wouldn’t I have access to their “pocket listings” that you won’t know about? With more than 300 listing companies in Western North Carolina, how will you know which one will have the “pocket listing” that’s right for you? Serious sellers are put into the multi-list system immediately. 8. Can’t I purchase For Sale by Owner properties without using a buyer’s agent? Buying directly from the homeowner is not always the “good deal” you think it is. Communication, price and other negotiations are less stressful when handled by someone who is dedicated to protecting your best interest. By representing you, I can also advise you on a neighborhood’s values and trends, your rights as a buyer and your requirements for closing. 9. How do I get started? Call me today toll-free at 866-645-8797 or direct at 828.210.4646 and let’s set up a convenient time to meet and discuss the type of home you are looking for.
