Many first home buyers are overwhelmed about the property market when choosing to buy their first home. With no clear knowledge on the steps to take, they get disappointed not being able to find that dream home after weeks of searching or finding that the advertised price of the property they like has gone up too high during auctions.
But there’s no reason to lose hope because you can get the services of a buyers advocate to successfully purchase your desired dream home.
A buyers advocate works with homebuyers throughout the process from searching for the right property and participating in auctions through closing the deal.
Initially, this real estate professional meets with the prospective buyer for a consultation to find out the client’s needs including their specific criteria for their desired residential property. From there, the buyers advocate meet with all the real estate agents in the locality to determine if they have properties that match the needs of the client, specifically the off market ones. Off market properties refer to those that are never advertised on the realestate.com domain.
The next step is shortlisting the properties and showing them to the homebuyer. A personal inspection of the property is necessary to truly feel the emotion of falling in love with it.
Buyers advocates will hold your hand every step of the way once a buyer decides to purchase a property he or she likes. They will discuss with you everything you need to know and determine your needs including your budget and other financial considerations. This way, you will be guided properly as to the areas where your budget can afford a house or a unit of your choice and one which suits your lifestyle.
They will then negotiate with the real estate agent and buy that property on your behalf whether through a private sale or through an auction. In short, they will take the stress from you and protect you to make your purchase as easy as possible.
It is therefore recommended for first home buyers to use the services of a buyers advocate to find and purchase that property you love and can afford. You don’t have to spend much because there are those that charge a low, fixed fee upfront with no other extra charges such as the buyers advocate.
