Buying a Home
There has never been a better time to buy a home.
When you take into account that interest rates at all time lows, home inventory is up, and there are even governmental stimulus monies floating out there for those that qualify, you would be crazy to not consider buying a home. James Fisher and the agents on his team have experience in all avenues in real estate purchase. Whether you are looking to buy your first home, downsize, looking at new construction, you have interest in short sales or foreclosures, multi unit investment properties, we have an agent that has experience in those areas.
***TOP TEN REASONS TO BUY A HOME***
Why do I need a Buyer's Agent?
A buyer's agent works solely for you the buyer, avoiding the conflicts of interest inherent in the traditional seller-oriented purchase transactions. This unique relationship of committed trust and care assures buyers the best possible home buying experience. Typically the commission for buyer’s representation comes directly from the seller, NOT you as the buyer. So these services are yours free of charge, yet the buyers agent’s job is to solely represent your best interests and make sure you understand all of your rights and responsibilities. That agent will be able to answer all your questions and make sure you understand everything that goes on during the home buying process. A home is usually the largest purchase a person makes. Be sure you have a professional on your side to walk you through to a happy and successful settlement.
What is a "One Stop Shop"?
In a real estate transaction, you have many different necessary components or companies that must speak and coordinate with one another to get you to a successful settlement. You have the main components: The listing agents office (the sellers representative), the buyer's agent, the buyer's mortgage company and the title company that will conduct settlement and they in turn each deal with additional companies (appraisers, inspectors, repairmen, insurance reps, title searchers, etc). With so many companies involved it can lead to confusion and miscommunication if not handled properly. And that can lead to a delayed or cancelled settlement. Here at Coldwell Banker Select Professionals, we have an in house mortgage company and title company that all communicate regularly, helping to keep your home buying process as smooth as possible.
