Hire a buyer’s agent?
Should you hire a buyer’s agent? If you’re in the market, enlisting a buyer’s agent can be one of the smartest decisions you make.
Why Hire a Buyer’s Agent? Your choice of an Agent is crucial.
- Is my buyer’s agent part time or full time? Many Part-time agents are committed to doing a fine job, but if the house of your dreams pops up or you encounter last-minute closing issues, will they be at their other job?.
- How experienced is my buyer’s agent?
- What neighborhoods does my buyer’s agent specialize in?
- What is my buyer’s agents schedule and availability?
Why Hire a Buyer’s Agent? Real Estate is a very local thing.
• Local knowledge is the key to a successful transaction.
• Are you from out of town. While you may be an expert in one region. the laws and practices vary from region to region.
• Are you a first-time buyer? When doing something you are new at, it is an optimal time to get expert assistance.
• Has it been a long time since you bought or sold? I would leverage someone to make sure you have not forgot the important lessons.
Why Hire a Buyer’s Agent? To help find the right property.
You can search the MLS yourself via Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com
- Can you trust the information? Zillow and Trulia are notoriously out of date. They are populated from a feed via the MLS. The most accurate source of information is from the MLS before it gets syndicated. Also, your information is being sold to other agents.
- Do you understand what you are searching for?
- Do you know what the listing agent is telling other agents in the confidential comments?
How often do you get a beneficial service that does not cost you extra money?
The seller pays the Brokers’ commissions, not the Buyer.
Why hire a Buyer’s Agent? Get help negotiating the offer.
- All Sales contract provisions are negotiable.
- The cost to purchase an asset is more than just the purchase price on the contract.
- Do you know how to get the best price? What would the best price even be?
- Getting the best terms is important to protect yourself in the transaction. The price is one of many important factors in a transaction
- Inspections? Title Agents, surveys. Who do I hire? Who pays for it?
- Knowing your competition is a key factor.
- Do you understand what is customary in the marketplace?
- Are you aware of which side pays what costs?
- Ensuring that your deposit is not at risk until you are ready and able to purchase the property.
- Utility assessments? Are there any unpaid balances?
- Every area is different, many areas (North Fort Myers is one) have multiple utility (water and/or sewer) providers.
Why Hire a Buyer’s Agent? Help overcome setbacks.
Every real estate transaction will have some difficulties, trials and even some tribulations. How you react to them is important.

Guide to Getting a Self Employed Mortgage Loan
Home-buyers Guide to Getting a Self Employed Mortgage Loan.
It’s not a secret that one of the most important factors in getting a home mortgage loan is proving your income. I interviewed Tim Hart with VanDyk Mortgage about this topic. Traditional homebuyers are able to document this by providing their W2 earning statement. Things get a little more complex for a Self Employed Mortgage. Despite, having quality cash flow on hand, self-employed individuals often learn just how much their net income actually is after factoring in tax write-offs and other business expenses. Most lenders base their lending decision for a Self Employed Mortgage on net income.
In the video, Tim Hart discusses options for obtaining a Self Employed Mortgage. Guidelines for Self Employed Mortgage homebuyers have loosened of recent. For example, Tim has a program for Self Employed Borrowers who can use their business bank statements as income.

Ready to sell? Highest sentiment since 2015 for selling.
Ready to sell? seventy-seven percent of people believe that now is a good time to sell a home, which is the highest percentage recorded since the collection started in 2015.
New findings from a survey from the National Association of REALTORS ® show that 77 percent of Americans think that now is a good time to sell a home, a new record high. Respondents in the West were the most likely to believe that now is a good time to sell (85 percent) as well as those who currently home a home (82 percent). Much of this optimism comes from several successive years of robust home price growth.
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun has this to say about why property owners feel ready to list their homes. “Though the vast majority of consumers believe home prices will continue to increase or hold steady, they understand the days of easy, fast gains could be coming to an end. Therefore, more are indicating that it is a good time to sell, which is a healthy shift in the market.”
Ready to sell? Pricing has come a long way since the crash of 2007-2009.
Ready to sell? Ask yourself these questions:
- Where will you go?
- If you do not buy another property what will you do with the money? Interest rates are very low. A lot of our clients would cash out except a CD at 1 percent is not appealing.
