Why Have Your Own Agent When You Buy?

If you’re thinking about buying, you may have already looked around on your own. Maybe you’ve browsed online, stopped by an open house, or called the number on a For Sale sign. You can absolutely do that.

When you’re ready to make an offer, though, it helps to have someone on your side.

Your agent works for you

When you have your own agent, I’m looking out for your interests. I share what I know about each home, point out features you might miss, and help you think through anything that raises a question.

When it’s time to make an offer, I help you prepare it and negotiate on your behalf. Without your own agent, you would be dealing directly with the seller’s agent, who works for the seller.

What to look for in an agent

When you’re buying, it helps to work with someone who:

• Takes time to understand your needs and goals
• Explains things clearly and answers your questions
• Knows the local market
• Sets you up with new listings as they come on the market
• Helps you understand the price, terms and timing of an offer
• Stays with you from the first showing through closing

That’s how I like to work and being a San Marcos native, and I know this area well.
