Most people answer this question with a definite yes, and when asked why, it’s because they offer various reasons such as the travel agent’s ability to secure exclusive flight and accommodation deals that are not advertised elsewhere, or the mortgage broker’s expertise in selecting finance options from all lenders without bias, ultimately finding the best deal. Both professionals save individuals a significant amount of time that would otherwise be spent sifting through numerous offers and considering different scenarios.
Many individuals appreciate dealing with travel agents because of their expertise in the field. Even though they could book their own travel arrangements, they believe that travel agents can help them avoid costly mistakes that could potentially ruin their dream holiday. Similarly, a mortgage broker provides assurance that all lenders will be considered to find the best fit for one’s unique situation, particularly if they are self-employed.
The same principle applies to engaging a buyers agent when making what is often the biggest purchase in a person’s life. While some individuals initially attempt the process alone, they often find themselves deflated and feeling like they will never secure the home of their dreams. This is when they reach out to a buyers agent for assistance, realizing that they need help navigating what can seem like a nightmare.
What do we offer? Just like the examples mentioned above, we provide access to the entire market in your desired location. We have connections with every agent who may be able to offer off-market or pre-market properties, which would otherwise be inaccessible to solo buyers. Additionally, we possess the ability to accurately evaluate properties you are interested in, ensuring they fit within your budget and aren’t subject to underquoting. This saves you heartbreak and countless hours spent on due diligence for a home that isn’t within your scope. We have witnessed numerous properties selling hundreds of thousands of dollars above their quoted range, yet our clients secure them within the range we advised.
As your buyers agent, we negotiate on your behalf with decades of experience under our belt. We can confidently go toe-to-toe with real estate agents, remaining objective and without showing any tell-tale signs that might indicate you have more budget to spare. While the vendor has the agent on their side, we are on yours.
In simple terms, you can book a holiday or arrange a loan on your own, but doing so comes with risks such as missing out on special deals, making costly mistakes, or wasting precious time. A buyers agent saves you from all these pitfalls and should be seen as an investment rather than an expense. If you need assistance securing your new abode, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
