When was the last time you got something valuable for free?
Buyer agency does not cost the buyer anything. The seller pays the buyer's agent, even though they work for the buyer only.
In NC and in most states, the philosophy in real estate is "buyer beware". The seller has little risk, only what they accept for price and terms on the sale. The buyer has much more risk which can range from overpaying to hidden defects. This may sound a little scary, but hiring a buyer's agent is the best way to protect yourself. Once you close, you have accepted the property as is so it is important to have due dilligence and a professional guiding you.

- Market data not available to the general public

- Answers to all your real estate questions
- Lists of dependable and reliable professionals who can help you
- Assistance with evaluating a property and appropriate inspections
- Completing contracts for your offer and purchase agreement
- Negotiating terms and conditions of your offer
- Negotiating repairs
- Review your settlement statement for accuracy and attend your closing
- Recommendations of licensed professionals who can help with improvements after closing
- A lifelong committment from me, I want to be your realtor for life!
