They Represent YOUR Best Interests: If you call the listing agent on the sign, you are speaking to the agent that works for the seller. That agent will do what they can go get the house sold for the highest value, for THEIR client. Therefore, you need an agent on your side that is looking out for your best interests. A home is a huge purchase, and a decision that you should be 100% comfortable making and a buyer’s agent will help you write a contract when you find YOUR dream home. 

Expanded Market Search: An Olathe buyers agent can show you ANY property that is available – regardless of the sign in the yard. A buyer’s agent will search for all available properties that meet your search criteria including unlisted properties, new construction, foreclosures. A common misconception is that a buyer’s agent only can sell properties that they have listed, when in fact they can help you buy any house! 

Analyze For Re-Sale Value: As the buyer’s agent goes through the properties with you, they will assist you with analyzing properties and determining their strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to make an informed decision. This is especially important when considering the re-sale value of your home. A professional buyer’s agent can point out issues with the home that are often overlooked, but may hinder a re-sale in the future such as the home backing to a busy street or a very steep driveway. 

The Price Is Right: Your Olathe buyer’s agent will be able to perform a comparative market analysis on your favorite property that will provide you with an offering range for that particular property. The buyer’s agent will be able to tell you if the home you want is overpriced or perhaps even under priced and will help you determine a negotiating strategy based on your situation. An Olathe buyer’s agent will also take into consideration other factors such as closing date, home warranty or even a certain appliance staying. At the right price, everything is negotiable! 

Effective Negotiating Skills – A buyer’s agent is an effective negotiator and takes pride in getting their clients the best possible deal. They are experts at dealing with negotiation tactics and the legal contracts. You need a buyer’s agent on your side who will go the extra mile in negotiations to make sure you are highly satisfied with all aspects of the transaction.

Even better news for Kansas City first time home buyers in 2009, as of yesterday the government is going to allow first time home buyers to use the $8,000 tax credit as a downpayment on FHA (Federal Housing Administration) financed loans! No more waiting until next year’s tax return to collect on the money. Buyers will be able to capitalize on this tax credit at the closing table.

Since the FHA requires a minimum 3.5% down payment from buyers, having up to $8,000 would mean buyers wouldn’t have to immediately dip into their savings for the downpayment.

Buyers need to act fast though, this program ends December 1, 2009.  Sign up today for Papa’s FREE First Time Home Buyer’s Seminar to cover this topic in depth. Seminar is held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Click here to register online now!
