Here are 10 reasons for using Kurtis Forster to help buy your next house
It's Free That's right, hiring Kurtis as your buyer agent won't cost you a thing. It's the seller who pays the commission, not the buyer.
It's Convenient Targeting the right neighbourhoods, finding homes that fit your criteria and scheduling showings can be a full time job. If you already work 9 - 5 it can become daunting and overwhelming very quickly. Using Kurtis will make your experience much more convenient and enjoyable.
Market Knowledge Understanding the local market is key to finding the best home at the best price possible. Market knowledge is something that isn't easily attained in a short period of time.
Professional Negotiation Making an offer and negotiating with a seller is by far one of the most specialized parts of the home buying process.
Professional Connections Getting to the closing table requires the expertise of a number of professionals. Lenders, inspectors, surveyors, (just to name a few) I have worked with a number of providers, both great and not so good. When you hire me as your buyer agent you will get access to my network rather than having to research and build relationships from scratch.
Insider Knowledge Wouldn't it be great to know about a home that's going up for sale before it's listed? A Realtor has access to some properties not yet on the market! Some transactions happen behind closed doors - before the property ever hits the market or the public MLS. Access to Comps/Sales info - Comps, or comparables, are extremely valuable when you're considering how much to offer on a home. I have access to the latest sales prices of comparable homes and can help you submit an offer that will be acceptable to both parties. As your buyer agent I will research and conduct a comparable market analysis for the property type, market, and neighbourhood to ensure that you do not pay more for the property.
Service, Service, Service Twice a day I scan all the new listing that hit the market and will send you the properties that meet your criteria. I will dedicate my time to help you find your next house as quickly and easily as possible. Give me a try to see how my service works, remember its FREE with no obligation!
Mitigator of Emotions Buying a home stirs up a lot of emotions, which is to be expected. However, if those emotions aren't kept in check it can cause many problems that could otherwise be avoided. A good agent removes the 'emotion' in a transaction and helps all the parties keep on track with their goals and more or less 'neutralizes' most situations.
Knowledge of Industry Standards, Legalities and Writing a Contract Buyers representing themselves will always leave too much on the table. They don't understand the issue of disclosures, they don't understand negotiating and they don't understand that this is a legal contract. It is probably the single largest purchase they will make in their lives, they need to know they are well represented, legally protected and getting real value for their money. You may be agle to search for homes on your own, but submitting an offer which may become a legally binding contract is not something you want to do by yourself.
