I'm sure it might cross your mind to not use a Real Estate Agent when purchasing a home. How hard can it be? I can search on Zillow, go to an open house and I know what I can pay, so why do I need to hire an agent?
I would say Expert Negotiation is the most crucial benefit for a home buyer because it can significantly impact the terms and conditions of the purchase, not to mention your overall perception of the transaction once it's done.
Here's Why:
Price Savings: Skilled negotiation can help a buyer secure the property at the best possible price, potentially saving thousands of dollars.
Favorable Terms: An expert negotiator can ensure favorable terms, such as contingencies, closing costs, and repair requests, which can protect the buyer’s interests and reduce unexpected expenses.
Competitive Market Advantage: In a competitive market, strong negotiation skills can make the difference between winning or losing a bid, especially when multiple offers are on the table.
Stress Reduction: A seasoned negotiator can navigate complex situations, reducing stress for the buyer by handling difficult conversations and conflicts with the seller.
Avoiding Pitfalls: Experienced negotiators are adept at identifying potential issues or red flags and can address them early in the process, preventing costly mistakes.
The National Association of Realtors cited these favorable statistics.
89% of buyers purchased their home through a real estate agent or broker.
Buyers who would use their agent again or recommend their agent to others: 90%
Overall, expert negotiation ensures that the buyer gets the best possible deal while minimizing risks and stress.
So, if you are starting your journey into buying a home, let's work together to find you a great home and let me negotiate a successful contract from start to the closing day!
