Buying Your First Home? Real Estate Agents Are Your Professional Guides. Make Sure You Choose a Top Expert.   |  | | |
 Hey, I've been there before, too! I remember what it was like buying my first home, before I got into real estate. You might be a bit afraid or intimidated by the whole process of buying your first home - I know I was. Unfortunately, I don't think that I received the best representation that I could have. My agent didn't take the time to teach me the process, and I ended up with more questions than answers. I won't let that happen to you!
As a top Lake Travis real estate expert, it's my job to guide you, from beginning to end. I promise you will be expertly represented, and I will take the time to fully explain everything, every step of the way. There are no dumb questions!
Many first-time buyers don't realize that there is absolutely no cost to them when working with a Realtor - sellers pay all the commissions. In addition, be aware that the listing agent (the Realtor whose sign is in the yard) represents the SELLER. You absolutely should have your own professional representation from a Buyers Agent to represent YOUR best interests. Do you really think the agent who represents the seller is going to agressively negotiate for YOU and get you the lowest price and the best deal possible? No way! I am certified as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) by the National Association of Realtors. An ABR is recognized as the utmost in professional representation for buyers.

Working With An Agent >Selecting A Real Estate Agent
Finding the right real estate agent to help you in your search is the important first step to take when you are ready to buy a new home. Some people feel it is better to use someone you don't know--I can't agree with this thought because someone you know will usually go above and beyond the call of duty and have you as top priority at all times.
Knowledge, professionalism and experience are the important factors to consider when selecting a real estate agent. You should also look for someone who listens carefully to what you want in a new home and who knows the market well enough to find the right house for you within a reasonable period of time. Be comfortable with the person you choose. If you feel like the real estate agent is sensitive to your needs and desires, you will feel confident working with that person.
