Don't you want a Brokerage Firm and Buyer's Agent that takes the buying process as seriously as a buyer does?  If this is the case, you'd want to work with a buyer's agent who delivers nothing but the highest quality of service to the client. When you decide to purchase your home, make sure you hire someone whom you can trust and someone who wants to earn your business. Buying your home is one of the most important purchases you will make, so make sure you have the right agent who can provide you with the service you deserve.

It's important to understand current market conditions, you are better able to position yourself from a buyer's perspective. It helps to know if you are in a Seller's, Buyer's or Balanced market when making offers. In a Buyer's market there is a lot more competition and Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate, forcing the sellers to be very competitive when setting their asking price.

Here are some of the steps your Buyer's Agent should take to find your perfect home:

Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions an agent will establish what you are looking for. The goal is to not waste your time by looking at properties that are not in your price range or homes that don't meet your needs. Throughout the buying process your confidentiality should be maintained and the Buyer's Agent should represent your best interests.

Help You Get Pre-Qualified
This step will show you how much you can afford.  This is accomplished by speaking with your financial institution and establishing what monthly payments you will be comfortable with.  Your Buyer's Agent should also be able to do quick calculations for different scenarios.

Home Shopping
Every available method to locate a property that matches your search parameters should be used.  This should include properties listed in multiple listing databases, properties offered through all real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties.  The Buyer's agent should be able to disclose all known facts about the property that are likely to affect your decision. When you find the home that meets your criteria, the Buyer's Agent should assist you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the seller or Seller's Agent.
