When you hire me as your buyer’s agent, you are getting nearly 20 years of experience in transacting Branson / Tri – Lakes real estate. I know the market as well as any Realtor in the area, and pride myself on getting my client’s the best home for their budget. Below are the top 5 reasons why I’m the best Realtor for you:
1. I know stuff about homes other inexperienced agents don’t — it’s not their fault, I’ve just been doing this for a long, long time.
Wanna know who built the house you are about to commit 30 years of payments to? I know with a lot of homes off hand, and can find out very quickly if I don’t. This may not sound like a big deal, but in an area that didn’t adopt basic building codes until 1995, you better make darn sure you know who built the house you are buying.
2. I voice my opinion about each home you are considering buying.
Instead of being little more than a glorified tour guide, I actually inform my clients of the good, as well as the bad about each property. Take a client of mine from a few years back — they had found the perfect home. It was new, spacious, and below market value; truly a great house. Only one problem though: hidden from view about 100 yards from the property were some train tracks. Would another agent have mentioned this? Possibly. Did I? ABSOLUTELY.
If I would have been unaware of this little “detail”, my clients would have been in for one heck of a surprise their first night in the home, had they decided to purchase it, as a train comes blazing by the house every night at 2 am. Moral of the story — I do not SELL you a home, I advise you on which homes are likely to fit your needs and lifestyle, give you detailed peripheral information regarding each home, and ultimately empower you to make the best decision possible.
3. Let’s take the information thing a step further — it’s that important.
I let you know more about the homes you are considering buying than many other agents even think to consider. For instance, if you are buying a condo most agents will tell you basic information like how much the association dues are and what they cover. Meanwhile, I will give you this info, compare it to other developments in the area (as this directly effects the future marketability of the property), and tell you if there have been recent special assessments — which will give you a good indicator of the health of the condo association and a good idea if there may be more “unexpected” assessments to come. This may sound like overkill, but every bit of information is critical when evaluating homes. As a bonus, any negative information that is uncovered works great as a negotiating tool if you decide the problem is not serious enough to prevent the purchase.
4. Not only do I know the Branson real estate market, but I am well-versed in the financial aspects of transacting real estate.
From today’s rates to buying down points, I know the details of the mortgage game and how to get you the best loan to fit your needs. While I am not a mortgage broker (that would be a major conflict of interest), I certainly know my fair share about how home financing works and will liaison with a banks and brokers on your behalf to make sure you are getting a competitive loan.
5. Unlike many agents, I actually LOVE what I do.
I talk with enthusiasm about Branson real estate, because I enjoy nearly everything about it. I do last-minute showings and work on weekends because doing so is not a hassle, but a joy and a challenge. I don”t mind taking a few hours and “talking shop” with you about the area and purchasing real estate here because I get great satisfaction from helping people navigate the market to find their perfect home. Buyers deserve someone who is knowledgeable, honest, and has their needs at heart — this is what I bring to the table as your buyer’s agent. Now let me prove it.
