Buying a Home
A home is the most valuable asset for the majority of people. Buyers need to know that they can trust their Agent to represent them in the purchase of their most valuable asset.
A House Is Usually People’s Most Valuable Asset
Years ago, Buyers didn’t use representation. Buying without representation can still be done, and it is done on regular occasion. However, this can leave Buyers at a significant disadvantage as Listing Agents work for the Seller, not a Potential Buyer!
Listing Agents work for the Seller, not the Buyer!
Bill and Christian love to help Buyers find the right property, obtain the proper financing, make sure the home is inspected properly, and complete the sale all the way to closing.
