Buyers
Buying a Home
Unless a home is for sale by owner, almost all sellers have agreed
to pay a 6% commission to real estate agents when they actually
sell their home. 3% will go to the agent and brokerage firm that
were responsible for selling the home, and the other 3% will go to
the Harmon Real Estate agent that you select to represent you.
Using an agent saves you time and money and provides valuable expertise.
Because of the Internet, most homebuyers are doing much of the work
a real estate agent should be doing for them. Unless you decide
to represent yourself and are prepared to fill out the 10+ pages
required to make an offer, then you will require an agent’s
help at some point, so putting one to work for you sooner than later
will save you time and a lot of hassle. Don’t spend your valuable
weekends driving through neighborhoods and waste valuable time on
the Internet when an agent will organize the process for you and
will save you thousands of dollars when it comes time to negotiate
an offer.
If you have found a home you wish to purchase, the most important
step you can take is to contact a Harmon Real Estate Agent. Talking to the sellers,
or attempting to initiate an offer on your own can be costly and
can hinder your ability to negotiate successfully.
Call, email, or visit one of the agents at Harmon Real Estate to make
preparations to complete a Real Estate Purchase
Contract (REPC).
