Once preparations are complete, it’s time for the fun part: finding the right home. Every buyer approaches this stage differently, and that’s perfectly okay. Some buyers prefer to explore neighborhoods themselves, while others, especially those relocating from out of town, rely on the agent to scope things out. Either way, it all starts with a conversation to discuss what’s most important.
Explore and Discover
Based on what’s important to the buyer, the agent can send tailored listings that match their criteria. If local, the agent will schedule showings and guide them through the neighborhoods. For out of town buyers, the agent can serve as their eyes and ears, providing insights, photos, video tours, and context to help make informed decisions.
Focus the Search
Once the options are narrowed down, the agent will schedule viewings and help the buyer focus on the properties that best meet their needs. Information about value, lifestyle fit, and long term resale potential will be provided to help the buyer evaluate each choice.
Make the Offer
When the right property is found, the agent will assist in crafting a strong offer. One that fits the buyer’s financial goals while standing out to the seller. The agent will also research any additional costs and guide the buyer through the entire negotiation process.
