This site is to help simplify the home buying and selling process. Please take my knowledge + expertise and implement it into your own life.
I recently had a good friend inform me that she no longer needed my real estate services for her buying process. She had decided to pursue a FSBO (for sale by owner) and the seller did not want to pay commissions! First of all if a seller refuses to provide you with professional care~ RUN! This is a HUGE red flag that this person obviously does not care about you or your future. As a buyer you receive representation at no cost to you. A lot of people do not understand this process and think they will save money by buying a home on their own; so not true unfortunately. In this particular example above my poor friend thought she was receiving a “better” deal by buying unrepresented. She told me that the seller was going to leave the blinds when I asked why she felt it was a good deal. SO SAD!!! The poor girl did not have the opportunity for an inspection, seller to pay her concessions, a home warranty, no appliances were included in the sale, etc. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a Realtor on your side especially as a home buyer; first-time or 100th time.
