What is an EXPERIENCED Realtor and Why Should YOU work with one?
Why should you as a BUYER use an experienced realtor?
The key word is EXPERIENCED. The definition of experienced is: Having knowledge or skill in a particular field, esp. a profession or job, gained over a period of time.
Someone called me yesterday about looking at a home and when I asked if they were working with a realtor they responded, “Our brothers friend just got his real estate licenses a few months ago and we are going to use him.” I was thinking to myself..”A FEW MONTHS AGO”. A few months ago just isn’t enough EXPERIENCE for this market that we are in! It gets more and more challenging daily as an agent. If you don’t have experience under your belt than guess who suffers?? The buyer.
As a buyer you are risking the following by working with a realtor who isn’t experienced.
1. Losing the home
2. You could lose your earnest money
3. You may not be lead through the home buying process correctly so your journey will be very rough.
4. Issues may come up that your realtor can’t handle properly
5. If you are looking at foreclosures or HUDS you may miss your closing deadline and get stuck paying a ton of money in extension fees
6. If you are looking at foreclosures or HUDS you may move in and find out that there is an unexpected utility bill or HOA bill.
7. You could miss out on properties that our in your price range or that our available
These are just a few items that could happen if you use a realtor that isn’t experienced.
Here are a few questions to ask your realtor during the interview process to insure that the items above do not happen to you!
1. How many transaction have you successfully completed this year?
2. How many short sales, foreclosures, or HUDS have you completed?
3. Do you have a resume?
4. Do you have a list of recommendations and/or phone numbers of past clients that I can contact?
5. What is your cancellation percentage? (This is important to know so you can see if your realtor has a successful home buying process. The higher the cancellation percentage would mean that the agent isn’t successful at getting the deals closed.)
6. What is your turnaround time in helping a buyer find their dream home?
7. How many buyers do you work with at one time? (This is important so that you can see if they will have time to show you homes at the last minute if necessary. This is also important so that you can look on YOUR schedule and not the realtors schedule.)
8. Are you part time or full time?
9. Do you offer a performance guarantee?
10. Can I fire you if I am not 100% satisfied with your services?
11. How do you communicate with your buyers? (This is important because you want to make sure that the agent you are working with is flexible and communicates with you the way you want! Some buyers prefer text or emails over phone calls. )
12. What hours do you work? (This is important because some realtors do not work weekends or evenings. If you work an M-F, 8-5 job than how are they going to show you properties?)

Why buy a new home? 5 Reasons to Consider a New Home!
1. Innovative Floor Plans: Builders today design homes the way you live today! Open floor plans, large mud rooms, 1st or 2nd floor laundry rooms and more places for storage! They offer the latest designs such as Mufti Levels or the 5 level split homes, 1st floor masters, updated 2 stories and Open ranch floor plans. Building a new home ensures that home offices no longer need to be created out of converted bedroom, as they're conveniently located on the main floor. New homes offer bonus and flex rooms, which allows you to customize the space to your family needs!
2. Energy Efficiency: Buyers today are concerned with throwing away extra money on high utility bills. Builders are now taking advantage of the latest products available such as: Low E Glass Windows, the latest HVAC systems, Energy Star appliances, superior insulation, and Green Homes. In fact some local builders are offering a guarantee on the utility bills! Ask me how this program works!
3. Better Financing: Builders are able to offer buyers the best rates in town! They generally have a lender they have partnered up with to offer rates lower than any bank can offer you. For example if you are pre approved with you credit union or bank now for $150,000 than typically when you talk to the builder’s lender they may qualify you for $190,000. Why? Because the builders have the ability to add certain expenses into the home offering the lowest rates available!
4. Personalize the Space: One of the best things for new buyers is the ability to personalize your space before you move in without lifting a finger. Most builders offer a design studio so that you can design and customize the entire home. You can pick items such as: Siding, Shutters, Cabinets, Countertops, faucets, flooring, lighting fixtures, railing systems, paint color and appliances. A decorating consultant will be on hand to guide you through he selections and make the process absolutely painless!
5. Warranties: When you build a new home you can rest assured that you'll be taken care of before, during, and after the sale! Most builders offer warranties on the home and the structure of the home. Each builder offers a different warranty plan. So ask me what the differences are if you are looking to buy a new home!
****If you are considering a new home, please call me today to sit down and discuss your options~! It is extremely important to work with a realtor when looking at new homes. I have experience first hand working at Dominion, M/I Homes, Maronda Homes, & Epcon Communities. My experience will ensure the process goes smoothly and that you get the best deal in town! ******
