Buying a home is a big decision!
You want the Right Person Helping YOU to find the right home that meets YOUR needs.
A “BUYER’S AGENT”
Why should you look for the ABR designation before looking for a home?
These three letters after a Realtor’s name tell you that you will be working with a buyer representative in Las Cruces who is committed to your best interests. The ABR Designation is awarded by REBAC (Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council of the National Association of Realtors) to those REALTORS who have met the specific educational and experiential criteria needed to provide the high level of quality service in Las Cruces required by REBAC.
How can a Buyer’s Agent help me?
Purchasing real estate is a complex and major transaction with many details to be handled. A Non-Buyer’s Agent is not helping you and they may actually be negotiating for the seller, instead of you the buyer. The seller has an agent helping them. The best way to be certain that someone is working in your best interests is by hiring a buyer’s agent to represent ONLY YOU. A buyer's agent in Las Cruces, LIKE ANY OTHER AGENT, owes certain duties to the home buyer: care, confidentiality, full disclosure and accurate accounting. These responsibilities are defined by state laws, the REALTORS Code of Ethics, and the general principles of agency as defined by the courts. In addition, all agents will show the buyer available homes, point out the property's features, provide financing information and submit the offer to purchase.
But that's not all the Buyer's Agent does. As your representative, a buyer's agent will share valuable and essential information with you if the agent knows it, such as:
• Whether the seller would accept a lower price;
• The seller's reason for selling and timetable;
• How long the home has been on the market;
• Previous offers and counteroffers for the property;
• Strengths and weaknesses of the property.
The Las Cruces buyer’s representative works for, and owes fiduciary responsibilities to, the Las Cruces real estate buyer, and has the buyer’s best interest in mind throughout the entire real estate process.
Most important for many real estate buyers in Las Cruces:
- You can feel secure in asking a Las Cruces buyer's agent for advice and assistance,
- Evaluating your specific needs, and locating properties the meet your wants and needs,
- Assisting you with pre-qualification and determining what you can afford to buy to in Las Cruces
- Finding the Las Cruces home of your choice and setting your offering price and terms of your office, and then negotiating your offer with the seller –first and foremost to your best advantage.
What's more, you'll have peace of mind knowing you have an advocate working on your behalf to help you buy your Las Cruces dream home at the best possible price and terms. A buyer's agent goal is to counsel you and help you buy the Las Cruces home you want. If you want to make sure you buy smart, you need a buyer's agent. Whether this is your 3rd home or if you are a first-time buyer, if you're relocating to Las Cruces or unfamiliar with the local real estate market, if you're buying for investment and want negotiating help, you'll be best served by a buyer's agent who puts your interests first.
If you just want to get the best value and terms when purchasing property in Las Cruces, you owe it to yourself to be the most knowledgeable buyer you can be.
What will a Buyer’s Agent Cost Me?
Perhaps the right question is, "What will it cost me if I don't use a buyer's agent?" Purchasing a home in Las Cruces without representation is possibly the biggest financial mistake you can make.
A Las Cruces buyer's agent can guide you each step of the way to prevent costly errors. Failure to find out about defects in the property or the actual value of the property can, of course, be an expensive mistake. And failure to negotiate a contract that works for you can cost you plenty. With a Las Cruces buyer's agent, you can ask for and receive advice and assistance in selecting the best property and determining an offering price.
The direct answer to what will the Buyer’s Agent cost you is: NOTHING
Generally, the seller pays the commission! That's the great part! You can have a buyer's agent represent you and the seller still pays the commission.
There are, however, other ways buyer's agents may be paid. Be sure you understand from the start- before you commit to a relationship with a buyer's agent- how the buyer's agent will be paid.
The Bottom Line!
The question you really need to ask yourself is: "Can I afford to buy a home in Las Cruces without a buyer's agent?" For most home buyers today, the answer is "NO!"
