An Important Note for Halifax Real Estate Buyers
Many times Halifax Real Estate buyers avoid using the services of a REALTOR under the mistaken belief that it costs them money - or that they will be able to negotiate a better deal directly with the seller or seller's real estate Broker. This can be an expensive mistake when buying a home. If you are negotiating directly with the seller or seller's real estate Broker, you may not be taking advantage of the best deal available in the residential housing market today! You can have your own REALTOR, a Buyer Broker or Buyers Agent, who is committed to using the experience gained through hundreds of successful Halifax real estate negotiations for your benefit at no charge to you!
The realty business is unique, where an agent with one day's experience and no home sales gets paid the same as real estate agents with several years experience and hundreds of successful sales. An experienced Realtor can help you avoid costly mistakes, find the best home value, and make your home buying or relocation experience an enjoyable, stress-free one!
When viewing homes for sale, it is important for homebuyers to know and understand for whom the agent helping with the house hunting is actually working. The agent may be working as a sub agent - representing the seller's best interests during negotiations - or as your agent representing your best interests during negotiations. If you are not sure who your agent is working for - ask for clarification. Realtors must fully explain agency. When negotiations commence, wouldn't you want to know whether information you divulge will be used for the seller's benefit - or your's?
The contract you sign to buy or sell a property is a complex and
legally binding document. An improperly written contract can allow the purchaser
or seller to void the sale, or cost you thousands of unnecessary dollars. Have
an experienced Realtor who knows the "ins and outs" fully explain the contract
you are about to sign to you, or have your lawyer review it before acceptance.
