A True Story…
Last month I received a call from some friends who wanted to purchase a home. The home was listed “for sale by owner” and had been on the market for over a year. My friends had gone to a bank to get financing and were told they should get a Realtor® to represent them with the purchase so they called me. The Sellers had given the Buyers their bottom line price. By the time the negotiations were completed my clients ended up paying $13,500 less than the Buyer’s bottom line (YES $13,500!!!) Buying a home isn’t like buying a used TV – It’s a BIG purchase and if you get caught paying 3 or 4% more than you should have you could end up spending $10,000 or $20,000 too much! It is VERY important to have proper representation when dealing with these big numbers. If you are considering buying a home and would like some professional representation please do give me a call and I would be happy to answer any question you may have about the process. Kindest Regards, Dan (Your LOCAL Realtor®)
