Working for the buyer
Buyer Representation in Shafter, CA
Find the right property, pay a price the comps support and keep your protections in the contract.
When You Buy, Someone Should Be Working for You
The listing agent works for the seller. Their job is to get the seller the most money on the best terms. You deserve the same kind of help on your side. With buyer representation from Real Estate Agent Shafter, you get an agent whose only job in the deal is your interests, whether you are buying a house, a commercial building, farm ground or an investment property. It starts with a written buyer agreement that spells out what we do and how we are paid, explained line by line before you sign. Then we build a search plan around your pre-approval and your must-haves, tour the properties that fit and pull comparable sales before you make an offer, so you know what the property is really worth. When it is time to write, we set the price, deposit and contingencies to protect you while still giving the seller a reason to choose your offer. During escrow, we keep the inspection, appraisal and loan deadlines on a calendar and negotiate repairs or credits when the inspection turns something up.
What Buyer Representation Covers
From the first search to the final walk-through, these are the pieces we handle for you.
Buyer agreement explained
What we do, how we are paid and how long the agreement runs, gone over before you sign anything.
Search plan
Price range tied to your pre-approval, must-haves sorted from nice-to-haves and a list of properties worth seeing.
Showings
Tours arranged in a sensible order, with honest notes on condition, layout and resale.
Price check
Comparable sales pulled before every offer, so you are not guessing about value.
Offer strategy
Price, deposit, contingency periods and closing date set to compete without giving up key protections.
Inspection support
Reports read with you, real problems separated from normal wear and repairs or credits requested.
Appraisal and loan tracking
Deadlines watched and options explained if the appraisal comes in low or the loan hits a snag.
Walk-through and closing
A final check that agreed repairs were done, then signing and keys.
How Buying With Us Works
Plan the search
We talk about what you want, where and for how much. If you are financing, we make sure your pre-approval is in place so you shop at the right price and can move when the right property shows up.
Tour, price and offer
We tour the properties that fit and check comparable sales on the ones you like. When you are ready, we write an offer shaped around the price, terms and protections that matter to you.
Escrow to keys
Once the offer is accepted, we track every contingency, help you through inspections and the appraisal and negotiate any repairs. Then comes the walk-through, the signing and the keys.
