Working with a buyer's agent
What a buyer's agent actually does for you, how the new written buyer agreement works, and why having someone in your corner makes all the difference.
Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase you'll ever make — and the seller already has an agent looking out for them. A buyer's agent is yours: someone whose whole job is to protect your interests, from the very first showing to the keys in your hand. Here's what that looks like.
We find you the right homes
We line up homes that actually fit your list — including quiet, coming-soon and off-market ones you won't turn up scrolling on your own.
We tell you the truth about every home
On every tour you get honest feedback — the good, the bad, and the resale red flags. We're here to talk you out of the wrong house as much as into the right one.
We know what it's really worth
Before you make an offer, we pull the comparable sales and local data so you know a fair number — and don't overpay in the heat of the moment.
We negotiate hard for you
Price, repairs, closing costs, timelines — we negotiate all of it on your behalf, with your bottom line in mind, never the seller's.
We manage the paperwork and deadlines
Inspection, appraisal, title, financing, contingencies — we keep every date on track so nothing slips through the cracks between offer and closing.
We're in your corner, start to finish
Questions at 9pm? A wobble the week before closing? You've got one trusted person who knows your deal inside out and has your back the whole way.
The new buyer agreement — what it means for you
You may have heard that buyers now sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes. It sounds official, but it's genuinely a good thing for you — it simply puts in writing that I'm representing you, and only you, and lays out clearly how I'm paid, so there are never any surprises down the road.
We'll walk through it together in plain English before you feel committed to anything, and I'm always happy to answer every question first. How a buyer's agent gets paid is part of that conversation — it's negotiable, and we'll talk it through openly and up front, so you always know exactly what to expect before you sign.
