YOUR BEST INTERESTS ARE FOREMOST
- I prepare a market analysis on the home you select to help counsel you on price and negotiation strategies.
- You receive the benefit of my years of market data on specific communities: information on annual appreciation, ranking in the county and comparison to MLS averages.
- I use my 31 years of experience of bringing over 1,500 buyers and sellers together to negotiate the best possible agreement for you. In addition, I use my experience to prepare an offer that protects your best interests while moving the transaction forward.
- I give you my advice based on 31 years of bringing sellers and buyers together. I give my objective opinion to you, just as if you were a family member. I point out what might be drawbacks when it comes time for you to sell.
DEVELOP RAPPORT - WORKING TOGETHER AS A BUYING TEAM
- An Accredited Buyers Agent (ABR), who has represented buyers since 1981, I have found that the process of working with buyers is an EDUCATIONAL PROCESS for all involved. In looking at homes, you get a better idea of what your dollar will buy you and, as you tell me what you like and don't like, I get a better idea of what you are really hoping to find.
- By working together:
- I am able to better understand your individual needs
- You become familiar with how I work
- We develop the rapport necessary to communicate easily
- You place confidence in my abilities
- I counsel you on financing alternatives to help you find the best service, rates and programs
COSTS NO MORE
- In almost all cases a Buyer's Agent costs no more because the fee is paid by the agency that has the property listed. Thus, if you DON'T have a buyer's agent you are likely paying two agents to represent the seller.
100% COMMITMENT FROM TOM'S TEAM
- I make the commitment of time and effort necessary because I feel assured of compensation.
- Tom and Tom's Team searches for the right home for you, not only through homes available in the MLS system, but also with For Sale By Owners, Expired listings and bank-owned properties. We have even gone to the extent of knocking on doors in a neighborhood you may like.
- I ensure that the entire transaction is handled smoothly and efficiently with the help of my experienced assistant Pam Ravey. Pam has been with me for over 11 years and had extensive banking experience prior to becoming part of Tom's Team. You also benefit from working with Karin Ericson, ABR, who does everything I do, allowing us to provide coverage for each other when one of us may not be available. A former buyer/seller client, she is dynamic, straight forward and has worked with Tom's Team for over four years. It was over 17 years ago that we first met in a real estate transaction.
- The Buyer Agency agreement creates a fiduciary relationship, meaning we have to hold your interests paramount in addition to maintaing our loyalty to you and maintaining confidentiality to you.
As you can see, I think buyer agency is the way to go. I would welcome the opportunity of discussing this with you further. Please feel free to call with any questions you might have. I can be reached at 802-861-6212. | |
