A house is probably the most expensive investment you will ever make. So to make sure you do it right, you need to be well informed by a professional working in the real estate market. Also, don't forget that when our buyer specialists represent you, it costs you absolutely nothing. Our agents are paid part of the listing agent's commission, so all this service comes at no cost to you!
The following are 9 services our buyer specialists will provide you that you will simply not have working on your own.
| 1- Give you access to both listed and unlisted properties |
| We are actively involved in the real estate business, so we always have a list of potential sellers who don't have their homes listed yet on the MLS system. Instead of just looking at houses listed on the MLS website, we look in our own database too! |
| 2- Let you know what you should pay for a home |
| When it comes to market value, we as agents know what houses are listed at and what they actually sell for, whereas you the buyer only have access to the asking price. Most houses sell for less than the list price, some for much less. Knowing only the list price gives you a false sense of the value of the house you are interested in. We can save you thousands! |
| 3- Give advice and counsel |
| Our team works throughout the Ottawa area, we’re experts and we’ve been here for a long time. We provide you with much needed expert advice to help you make the right decisions. |
| 4- Deal with all the legal paperwork and negotiate aggressively on your behalf |
| The offer is the number one step to negotiating the sale of a house. Our experience and expertise will ensure you achieve the best results possible. |
| 5- Keep your bargaining and financial positions confidential |
| As our client, you can be assured any private information you give us will stay private. We are under the obligation to keep client information confidential. |
| 6- Promote and protect your best interests at all times |
| Having a buyer specialist represent you, you will have no doubt knowing that your interests are protected rather than the seller's. Agents are by default under the obligation to represent the seller, unless they have a contract with the buyer. |
| 7- Bring any problems to your attention |
| A buyer specialist represents buyer clients on a daily basis, and so is aware of what to look for in any kind of home new or old. They are able to bring your attention to problems you might not have noticed on your own, and that the listing agent would not be able to tell you about since they are working solely for the seller. |
| 8- Negotiate the best price and terms for you |
| We are expert negotiators. It is our job to use negotiating strategies to help our clients get the best price possible. Unrepresented buyers often over pay for a property, or lose a property because they were trying to under pay. We know the market best, and we know how to get the house you want for a fair price. |
| 9- Pass on valuable info' that may enhance your bargaining position |
| Your buyer specialist can provide you with information such as how long a house has been listed on the market, or previous price reductions on the property, or even what the owner originally paid for the property. Only an agent working under contract with you can legally provide such valuable info’ to help your bargaining position. |  Tell us what you are looking for! It's our job to know every property in the Ottawa area even ones not listed online. Our personal search for you is FREE and without obligation. Please give us as many details as possible... 
About Appraisals >Working With A Real Estate Agent
It is not unusual for homeowners to yield to the temptation to try to sell their own home. It seems easy enough--just place an ad in the weekend paper and wait for buyers to show up. Although it may seem simple, real estate sales transactions are extremely complex proceedings.
The first pitfall can come with pricing your property realistically. Homeowners often price their property too high initially, then drastically slash the price when weeks go buy without an offer. Even if a prospective buyer agrees to the initial asking price, there could be complications if the buyers begin to feel that they have agreed to pay too much, or if the lender's appraisal values the property at far less than the agreed-upon price. Some clients hire agents to market their home professionally after weeks or months of trying to sell their own home without success, or after their FSBO transaction fell through.
