Information for Buyers

---

In the good old days your real estate agent would take you on a tour to look at houses in your area listed for sale.  These days most buyers start with a search on one of many large internet listing sites.

Do you need a real estate agent to buy a home?  Well this depends on who you ask.  It certainly is common.  You could represent yourself to buy a home, or you could work with an agent you know, or an agent you don't know, or with an attorney.

Buying a home is one of the largest purchases/investments you will ever make.  At a minimum I suggest that you obtain advice and assistance for a skilled experienced professional.  

My guess is many transactions take place without an attorney involved until there is a problem.  However, having an attorney and or CPA involved from the beginning might be prudent.

I have over 30 years experience in the real estate industry.  I have witnessed many changes.  If you do a bit of research you will find there were some major lawsuit/settlements in 2024.  As a result the business will work slightly differently.

I began working as a buyer's agent before the agency disclosure form was invited.  I am pretty sure of that.  And as a buyer's agent, I am your advocate.

Call me to discuss representation and services I can offer to assist you.
