What a Real Estate Agent Does For a Buyer

Finding a home is easy. Buying a home is not.

There are plenty of websites that can help you find a home to buy. That’s the easy part.

The important stuff happens after “find.” We help our clients evaluate, negotiate, and stay sane through the complex process of buying a home.

We think it’s important that you know what a real estate agent does for a buyer…or more accurately, what the Cari McGee Real Estate Team does for our buyer clients.

Below you’ll find a list of the things we do to help all of our buyer clients get through the process and into their new Tri-Cities home.

Buyer Services: What We Do for Homebuyers

1. Give you the confidence to do something scary and life-changing.

2. Ask and find answers for all the things you don’t know to ask.

3. Explain the potential resale concerns of each house you look at, since you’re probably not thinking that far ahead.

4. Help you understand which features of a home match your wishlist even when it’s not obvious.

5. Tell you what is and isn’t a problem with the house you want to buy.

6. Use data and knowledge (born from my 20+ years of experience) to help you know what’s enough to offer, and what’s too much.

7. Protect your money from a listing agent obligated to get as much of it for their client as they can.

8. Connect you with a trusted local loan officer who has a track record of helping buyers like you get to the financial finish line.

9. Negotiate the intricate details of a purchase-and-sale agreement so you’re protected now and in the future.

10. Leverage my relationships with everyone from house cleaners to plumbers to electricians to make sure you get everything you need before you move in.

11. Help you not screw it up and end up bankrupt, divorced, or consumed with regret.

As you can see, great Realtors® like us do a lot more than just open doors.
