Avoid Home Buyer Mistakes

If you were going to court… Would you consider using your opponent’s attorney?

Why would you use a Seller’s Agent to help you buy a home?

OPTIMA PROPERTIES is an Exclusive Buyers Only Brokerage.   It is our mission to provide you ALL the facts about each property you are interested in

• The foundation has settled
  • This builder is not reputable
  • The lot drainage is poor
  • There is a better value for your money • and much, much more…

You can trust us to tell you everything we know about any property you are looking at. And if we honestly believe it would not be a wise investment…

We are not afraid to say — “Don’t buy this house.”

Below are costly home buying mistakes buyers frequently make:

• Home buyers may innocently disclose important confidential information about their buying needs, financial abilities and negotiating strategies to sellers and their agents. Understanding the roles of the Real Estate Agents involved in the transaction is important.
• Home buyers fail to understand how critical it can be to carefully design strategies and techniques to better negotiate with sellers and their agents.
• Home buyers don’t always appreciate the benefits they gain and are entitled to receive with the undivided loyalty and trust of an agent working only for them. Buyers are usually uninformed about the service and loyalty limitations inherent with an intermediary, transactional agent or other limited-service providers.
• Home buyers are usually unaware of the importance of personally attending and conducting thorough and independent physical property inspections, environmental audits and separate property appraisals as a condition of the home purchase.
• Home buyers fail to recognize the long-term benefits of preserving and/or enhancing the buyer’s equity position in a property.

If an agent offers an exclusive agreement (but has an escape clause allowing them to revert to transactional agency), you should question their exclusive loyalty to you, the buyer.
