Buyers Agent
There are many reasons to use Jeff Barnwell as a Buyer’s Agent when purchasing Lake Lanier Homes For Sale.
- Only a Buyer’s Agent can GAURANTEE to negotiate on your behalf
- Only a Buyer’s Agent can GAURANTEE to represent you in your real estate purchase
- A Buyers Agent job is to get their BUYER the lowest price and the best terms
- Buyers Agents have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interest first
- A Buyers Agent will help you find the right house at the right price. The listing (or selling) agent can’t do this. They are obligated by law to represent the best interest of the seller and negotiate the highest price they can for a home
Why would an exclusive Buyer’s Agent negotiate the price down on your behalf when that means less commission for them? It’s simple. A good Buyer’s Agent sells for the future referral business you’ll send their way because of good service.
The listing agent is not going to help unrepresented buyers discover the best price for their listing. They can’t. The listing agent has an incentive to get the highest price possible, and often time, even a bonus included that you the home buyer would never know about. In the Atlanta market most “agents” working a builder neighborhoods are actually employees of the builders, just like used car salesmen with a sales manager a phone call away. I negotiate with Atlanta builders every week and understand the tangled web of their contracts. In one example my customer received $31,200.00 in bonuses and price reduction, the unrepresented buyer walking in behind us, $10,500.00. Both customers walk out that afternoon happy to have a new home, my buyers had the better deal.
Because a Buyer’s Agent only represents the buyer in a transaction sellers are always unaware of the price buyers are willing to spend during negotiations, giving the negotiating advantage back to the buyer. For this reason alone, it is not uncommon for a home buyer to save thousands for dollars during the critical negotiation process when they have Buyers Agent Jeff Barnwell representing them.
