The Home Buying Process

Buying a Home

You know what you want. We know how to help you get it. Whether it's your first townhome, a historic home, or a brand new dream home, we know the right places to look, the right questions to ask, and the right way to protect you in the purchase. Below are some myths and facts about working with a Realtor when purchasing your new home.

Myth: You can save money by not using a Realtor for new construction.

Fact: It does not cost the buyer anything to use a Realtor. In fact, a Realtor can save you money because he or she represents you, not the builder!

Myth: I can negotiate a better deal by not working with a realtor.

Fact: If a home is multiple listed, the seller is paying commission no matter what. You may as well have someone representing you and leading you through the contract process. In fact, with their vast experience in home sales, Realtors can offer invaluable negotiating advice when making an offer that will appeal to a seller while getting you the best possible deal.

Myth: I don't need a Realtor's sales contract to purchase a home. I can just pull something off the internet.

Fact: A home is the biggest purchase you will make. Protect your investment by protecting yourself and making sure all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed before signing on the dotted line. A Realtor is there to make sure your interest is properly represented and protected.
