Protection During the Home Buying Process

 

Enjoy peace of mind during the home buying process by planning ahead and finding a buyer agent before you shop for your new home. The ideal agent, one exclusively representing real estate buyers, can be found through an interview based on the kind of questions they hope buyers will ask of them. Don't make the mistake of finding your agent through an Open House or calling the Listing Agent or real estate office about a particular home.

 

Since it is not uncommon for new agents or part-timers to conduct Open Houses and do 'up-time' answering the phones at the real estate offices, you may end up with someone who hasn't had much experience.

 

If you call Listing Agents who specialize in listing houses, not focusing on buyers' needs, you may end up with an agent who will do a better job selling your house when the time comes rather than serving your needs and wants now as a home buyer.

 

PCS Cash Back members work under a defined Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice , both of which revolve around the idea of buyer representation. This means that you can relax, knowing that your PCS Cash Back  is doing their best to protect you throughout the home buying process.

 

Why Use a Buyer Agent?

 

A home purchase is a significant and expensive transaction with long-term financial implications. Buying a home wisely, at the right price and terms, can provide a lifetime of benefits and enjoyment! But if you overpay for a home, or choose a home that involves more upkeep than you can manage, trouble could be on the horizon.

 

In order to make the best possible home buying decisions, you need to have the best possible information and guidance. Using a Buyer Agent that provides you with a superior level of representation and protection. This is because a Buyer Agent serves the home buyer, and focuses their expertise on the buyer's needs and concerns.

 

Any real estate agent can call themselves a 'buyer agent' and provide basic home search and showing appointment services. They make promises like 'helping you find your dream home.'

 

A Buyer Agent will:

  •  Keep your motives and budget confidential
  •  Protect your best interests at all times
  •  Educate you about market conditions and the home buying process
  •  Perform market price comparisons and protect you from over-paying for a home
  •  Negotiate exclusively on your behalf, obtaining the best price and terms
  •  Fulfill fiduciary duties and adhere to high standards of ethics and integrity
  •  Provide these services and more at no additional cost to you

 

Listing agents (the ones with the sign in the front yard) and the company that they work for represent the SELLER, not the buyer. Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price on the best terms.

 

An  PCS Cash Back agent job is to get the BUYER the lowest price on the best terms.

 

PCS Cash Back agent will do a better job for transferee that anyone else. They will give you the facts, good and bad.

 

A listing agent cannot tell you about many things that would be detrimental for the BUYER because they work for the SELLER.

 

A PCS Cash Back agent will help you with your financing alternatives. They may advise you to be pre-approved by a lender. Why? Because a fully approved loan makes you a cash buyer.

It just makes sense!
