Buying Your First Home? Real Estate Agents Are Your Professional Guides. Make Sure You Choose a Top Expert.   | | | |
 Hey, I've been there before, too! I remember what it was like buying my first home, before I got into real estate. You might be a bit afraid or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home - I know I was. Unfortunately, I don't think that I received the best representation that I could have. My agent didn't take the time to teach me the process, and I ended up with more questions than answers. I won't let that happen to you!
As a top Lake Travis real estate expert, it's my job to guide you, from beginning to end. I promise you will be expertly represented, and I will take the time to fully explain everything, every step of the way. There are no dumb questions!
Many first-time buyers don't realize that there is absolutely no cost to them when working with a Realtor - sellers pay all the commissions. In addition, be aware that the listing agent (the Realtor whose sign is in the yard) represents the SELLER. You absolutely should have your own professional representation from a Buyers Agent to represent YOUR best interests. Do you really think the agent who represents the seller is going to agressively negotiate for YOU and get you the lowest price and the best deal possible? No way! I am certified as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) by the National Association of Realtors. An ABR is recognized as the utmost in professional representation for buyers.

- The tax advantages of buying.

Accepting An Offer >Evaluating Multiple Bids
Competition for homes is high in hot markets. When you are a seller faced with multiple offers on your home, how do you choose the best one? Your real estate agent can help you compare and contrast the terms of each proposal.
Look at the price of each offer and evaluate your net profit. Next, consider the terms of each contract. How "clean" is each offer? Are there contingencies that affect the sale, such as the buyers needing to sell another property before they can finalize the purchase of your home? Can you work out a mutually agreeable date for you to move out and for the buyers to move in? Can you get reasonable assurances that the buyers will be able to qualify for the financing they will need?
Your real estate agent can help you weigh the relative merits of each offer, so that you can accept--or counter--the best one, and line up another as an alternative.
