Working With A Buyer's Agent

Working with a Buyer’s Agent

Buying a home is a significant financial investment and one of the most complex transactions you’ll undertake. You should not underestimate the value of having your own agent represent and guide you throughout the entire transaction.

When you work with a Buyer’s Agent, you have someone working exclusively for you.

One of the benefits to working with a Buyer’s Agent is the convenience of working with one agent who learns your needs and criteria, what you like and don’t like in a house, and who is focused on sifting through the listings to find the right neighborhoods and properties for you. When you contact listing agents directly, their goal is to sell you that one specific house, and will be representing the seller’s interests — not yours.

As your Buyer’s Agent, I’ll arrange private showings for any property you’re interested in, regardless of the listing agent or office. When you’re ready to make an offer, I’ll advise you on value, negotiate price, prepare the contract, explain the terms, establish contingencies to protect your interests, coordinate title and escrow, and represent your interests from contract to close of escrow.

As your Buyer’s Agent, I’ll help overcome setbacks as well. For example, if the home inspection, appraisal or title search brings new issues to light, I’ll advise you on how to proceed, negotiate a resolution, and act as a buffer between you and the sellers or their agent.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ helped us make our retirement dream a reality. We met Russ in July of 2018 when we made our first house hunting trip to Green Valley, AZ. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and presented us with a list of houses that met our criteria. He helped us through two failed sales on our ou-of-state home, and when our home sold after five months on the market Russ was ready to help us with our home purchase in AZ. He stayed on top of all the important dates, provided us with a wealth of information about the area and links to all the required utilities. Moving is very stressful but Russ took a lot of the stress away with his commitment to quality customer service."
- C. G., Green Valley AZ
"Russ was always very responsive and returned calls in timely manner. Was extremely Calm and rational when going gets jiggy. Keeps any drama from becoming dramatic. His experience in executive management is an asset when dealing with the variety of challenges related to closing the sale. I Highly recommend him to handle complicated transactions. "
- M.L., Tucson AZ
"Russ was impressive from the first moment we met him. We were looking at a property in a complex where he just happened to be previewing a unit. We asked if he was a real estate agent and he dropped what he was doing to show us some properties in the same complex. From that moment forward he was attentive, responsive and showed us that he knew the area and was helpful in looking for the right property for us. He got us through the process with ease and even went the extra mile in the offer process to make sure we made the best effort to secure our choice. Can’t say enough about him. Russ is truly a professional in the best sense of the word. "
