Why use an agent?

Whether it’s your first home or your tenth, buying a home is an nothing short of exciting. But it can also be overwhelming, even if you’re a veteran buyer. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most complex. And while it’s true that today’s buyers can easily search the internet for homes on their own, buying real estate involves so much more than simply finding a property online. There are many good reasons to work with a qualified real estate professional who represents your interests, and not those of the seller. When you look for a real estate agent before you look for a home, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. Having a good buyers agent is key. As a buyer, you find yourself worrying about all sorts of issues throughout the process. Working with a professional real estate agent who is acting on your behalf, and not that of the seller, can help answer these questions and more, and at no cost to you. Houston offers a wealth of options for residential buyers. From the cozy bungalows of The Heights to the sprawling ranch homes of Meyerland, and from steel and glass Midtown lofts to beautiful Washington Avenue brownstones, the choices seem almost limitless. For these reasons and more, it is crucial to work with an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent who can offer a wealth of information along with strong negotiating and problem-solving skills.

Getting pre-approved by a lender

By providing your real estate agent with some basic information about your income, savings, and debt, he or she can assist you in getting pre-approved by a reputable lender. The lender will then go over your financing options, what monthly payment amount you can afford, and what you can expect for down payment requirements and closing costs.

Choosing a home

For most buyers, choosing a home is an emotional process. An agent can assist you in this process by offering objective information about each property you look at. From local community information like schools and zoning to home-specific details like condition and amenities, an agent can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Making an offer

Once you’ve found the home of your dreams, an agent will research recent comparable sales of similar homes in the area to help determine a fair selling price. Based on those comparable sales, as well as other factors like inspections and repairs, an agent will then help you structure an offer and negotiate to get the very best deal possible.

Closing

Closing, or settlement, can be a complicated process. In some areas, the escrow or title company handles the closing process, while in other areas an attorney handles it. Regardless of where you’re buying, a real estate agent can help ensure that everything goes smoothly.
