Here are some answers to common questions:

  • What is a real estate buyer's agent?
  • What are the benefits of using a buyers' agent?
    With Judy Simmons as your buyers' agent, you can count on her to:
    • Evaluate the specific needs and wants of the buyer and locate properties that fit those specifications.
    • Assist the buyer in determining the amount that they can afford (pre-qualify), and show properties in that price range and locale.
    • Assist in viewing properties -- accompany the buyer on the showings, or preview the properties on behalf of the buyer to insure that the identified specifications are met.
    • Research the selected properties to identify any problems or issues to help the buyer make an informed decision prior to making an offer to purchase the property.
    • Advise the buyer on structuring an appropriate offer to purchase the selected property.
    • Present the offer to the seller's agent and the seller on the buyer's behalf.
    • Negotiate on behalf of the buyer to help obtain the identified property -- keeping the buyer's best interests in mind.
    • Review and explain all legal documents to the buyer.
    • Assist in securing appropriate financing for the selected property.
    • Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (e.g. movers, attorneys, carpenters, etc.) if these services are needed.
    • Most importantly, fully-represent the buyer throughout the real estate transaction.
  • How do I negotiate with sellers?
  • This is my first house. What else do I need to be thinking about?
