What are the Disadvantages of NOT Hiring an Accredited Buyer's Representative?
Before you call the listing agent to purchase your next Oakland County home, consider the following disadvantages of working with that listing agent:
The seller's agent may affect the Seller’s mind-set when negotiating a sales agreement with you.
When you hire one of our staff members at Ben Lang Properties as your buyer's representative, we must keep your financial situation confidential unless you give us permission to share some of this data with the Sellers. The seller's representative does not have to keep this information confidential and by disclosing too much of your financial information to the Sellers, a seller’s representative may imply that you can well afford to pay the asking price even if you have no intention of paying it!
A seller’s representative can only discuss the positive features of the property you are considering because his duty is to serve and protect the Sellers.
Our staff at Ben Lang Properties can help you evaluate the positive and negative features of Oakland County properties for sale you are considering and will make recommendations based on your best interests.
Do You Need an Accredited Buyer's Representative When Purchasing New Construction?
The real question that a Metro Detroit home buyer should ask is: Why would I not use a Realtor when buying a home from a builder?
There is NOT a single answer why an Oakland County home buyer should not use a Realtor when purchasing a new construction property! The Ben Lang Properties staff has assisted many Oakland County and Macomb County home buyers with their new construction purchases.
You may be seeking to purchase new construction and wondering how a Realtor could help you purchase a new construction property. A common myth that many home buyers have when purchasing new construction real estate is that the builder will discount the purchase price of a home if the buyer does not use a Realtor. This is of course not accurate, the builder has already anticipated this cost hence the asking price.
If an Oakland County buyer goes to a home builder without the representation and assistance of a Realtor, the home buyer is paying for realty services without actually reaping the benefits. In addition, most home buyers think that hiring a Realtor will cost them money, when in fact, these services are free if you use a Realtor at Ben Lang Properties.
Another common myth buyers have when purchasing new construction property is that the sales agent at the model home works for the home buyer. Although they are warm and friendly, the sales agent that home buyers meet when touring a model home works for the builder NOT the home buyer! Their interest is in getting the most profit on the house they sell. This is why buyers need to have a Realtor who they know is working for them.
It is always the Realtor's priority to protect their buyers, and the Realtors at Ben Lang Properties has our buyer's interests at heart.
