Parker Colorado Buyer's Agent
A buyer's agent is a real estate agent who works exclusively for the home buyer. Before, during and after the home buying process. Working with the best buyer's agent is crucial to experience a great result in purchasing a home. We, at the Parker Colorado Home Center, pride ourselves in providing the "ultimate experience" for all of our Parker home buyers. There's a lot that goes into providing that "ultimate experience". Take a look at the services we provide and the work we do.
-
We work for the buyer, always representing the buyer's best interests.
- We're available to buyer 24/7 to answer any questions and provide any product or service needed by buyer.
-
We spend all time needed, up front, to determine all of buyer's "wants and needs". For instance, buyer's desired price range, style of home, number of bedrooms and baths, desired square feet, floor location of master bedroom, direction that house faces, etc.. Information about schools, hospitals, parks, shopping, golf and tennis clubs, health and fitness clubs, etc..
-
Once we have determined all of the buyer's "wants and needs", we will begin the process of finding the right properties. We'll set up a property search for the buyer that "culls out" all of the properties that meet the buyer's criteria.
-
On a minute to minute basis, the property search will identify and send any and all properties as they come on the market. We will personally review each property to make sure it's a real candidate for the buyer. This is important, as we have important and valuable knowledge of the area being considered. Many, if not most properties, that come on the market will not be suitable to the buyer. Eliminating these properties saves the buyers time and worry.
-
Any time a property comes up that is a true candidate, we will go and personally tour the home. If available, we will Facetime with the buyer. Most of the buyers that we work with are from out of state and are not actually in Parker to look at homes. Facetiming is the next best thing to physically touring the homes.
-
A good buyer's agent is constantly searching for specific homes for the buyer. It's not unusual for us to find a great home that is not currently listed. Being connected and active among other high producing agents, we are able to hear about properties that might be coming up in the future. Getting to those homes before they even go on the market can be a huge benefit to the buyer.
-
Once a property is located that the buyer would like to purchase, it's time to determine the terms of the offer. This is when our vale as a buyer's agent truly shown. Remember, are working for and on behalf of the buyer. It's our duty to do everything possible to maximize the buyer's benefits (i.e. sales price, needed inclusions, needed repairs, seller concessions to help with buyer's loan closing costs, closing time and location, etc..).
-
Regarding the offer. It's a legal contract and it's very complicated. We have written many hundreds of contracts. We know every "T" to cross and "I" to dot. A poorly written contract (which is legally binding) can and will cost the buyer thousands of dollars and hours of misery. It's got to be done right, the first time.
-
Regarding the contract, we will go over, in detail, the contract. This is not a 5 minute, trust me process. It will take at least an hour, sometimes more. But, the buyer will know exactly what they're signing.
-
Again, regarding the contract, we will "get it done" ASAP. No matter what time of the day or night, getting the offer to the listing agent, quickly, can be the difference between getting the deal or not. In most cases, the "early bird gets the worm". It's not uncommon for us to submit offers at midnight. We do what it takes.
-
After getting the offer accepted, sometimes after much negotiation back and forth, the real fun starts.
-
A close relationship with a trusted lender is absolutely mandatory. While some buyers have already arranged financing with their trusted lender, we work with several trusted lenders. This is one of the most valuable attributes of a good buyer's agent.
-
A good buyer's agent can only work with so many buyers at one time. We're a "high touch" team and try to maintain a business that is working with no more than 4 or 5 buyers at a time. Because of that, we're very careful to work with buyers that are as committed to us as we are to them.
-
A good buyer's agent has access to proven and reliable service providers. Over the last twenty years, we've established "rock solid" relationships with attorneys, home inspectors, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, roofers, handymen, HVAC contractors, etc.. Being able to get estimates and/or advice regarding a home we're considering can be invaluable. Having this information is important when determining the terms of an offer.
-
For out-of-state buyers, a good buyer's agent should be able to recommend and possibly arrange hotel stays, car rentals, childcare, transportation from and to the airport. We actually pick up our buyers, ourselves.
-
A good buyer's agent keeps everyone "cool and collective". As well intentioned as they may be, buyers and sellers that get together can often blow the whole deal. Good buyer's and listing agents work together to create a pleasant and friendly working relationship, resulting in a successful closing.
-
Don't forget that we, as buyer's agents, are legally bound to help our clients, whereas listing agents (and home builder sales reps) are bound to the seller and have a fiduciary duty to the home seller. All personal information that the buyer might unwittingly divulge to the seller or seller's agent is kept confidential. The seller does not need any information that would allow him to take advantage of the buyer's situation.
-
A good buyer's agent will have lots of positive reviews. Especially Google Reviews. We certainly do. Google Reviews are the only ones that are totally reliable. Of course, there's nothing like a personal referral. But, the reality is that a buyer coming from Dallas to Parker is not going to be referred by anyone. That buyer needs to depend on all of the reviews and testimonials that are available.
-
A good buyer's agent specializes in a geographic area and a type of housing. For instance, we focus on Parker, Colorado and the surrounding towns of Elizabeth, Franktown, Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch. All of these towns are within a 10 minute drive of each other. At some point of each day, we are usually in most of these towns, personally or professionally. As the saying goes, we know these towns and their neighborhoods like the back of our hand.
-
A good buyer's agent has a lot of experience. You want to work with someone who has successfully contracted and closed a lot of deals. We have sold over 350 homes here in Parker and her surrounding towns.
-
We know the current real estate market in Parker and the surrounding area. The best neighborhoods. What home prices currently doing. Are homes going for full price or is there some room for negotiation? Is there something happening that is not common knowledge. Something that might have a negative or positive effect on future value of a home being considered. Agents that stay current on the market know what's going on.
