It is my goal as your full service real estate company specializing in the Anchorage, Eagle River, Chugiak and Mat-Su Valley areas, to provide you with superior service at all times. My local expertise and extensive real estate experience will benefit you whether you are serious about buying or selling a home at this time, or are a returning client checking out the many homeowner resources I offer.
Buying a home? I look forward to helping you select the home of your dreams by taking time to listen to your needs and desires. As an Accredited Buyer Representative, I am confident of my ability to fully represent you, the buyer. What is a Buyer Representative? A real estate buyer's representative represents the buyer who is purchasing property in a real estate transaction. Research by the National Association of REALTORS has shown that when a buyer's representative is used, the prospective buyer found a home one week faster and examined three more properties than consumers who did not use a buyer's representative. The buyer's representative works for, and owes fiduciary responsibilities to, the real estate buyer and has buyer's best interests in mind throughout the entire real estate process. A buyer's representative will: § Evaluate the specific needs and wants of the buyer and locate properties that fit those specifications. § Assist the buyer in determining the amount that they can afford (pre-qualify), and show properties in that price range and locale. § Assist in viewing properties -- accompany the buyer on the showings, or preview the properties on behalf of the buyer to insure that the identified specifications are met. § Research the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help the buyer make an informed decision prior to making an offer to purchase the property. § Advise the buyer on structuring an appropriate offer to purchase the selected property. § Present the offer to the seller's agent and the seller on the buyer's behalf. § Negotiate on behalf of the buyer to help obtain the identified property -- keeping the buyer's best interests in mind. § Assist in securing appropriate financing for the selected property. § Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (e.g. movers, attorneys, carpenters, etc.) if these services are needed. § Most importantly, fully represent the buyer throughout the real estate transaction. The Buyer Representation Agreement It is important for the buyer to discuss the buyer's representative's compensation in the initial interview. In many cases it is recommended that the buyer and the buyer's representative agree to the terms of compensation prior to viewing properties, and sign a written agreement based on those terms. The agreement should spell out the responsibilities of both parties throughout the real estate process.
