Let's say you're in the market for a new home. You spend every night desperately scanning the internet for your dream home when finally, you come across a property that is, "just what you're looking for".

  • Do you call the agent listed on the property to schedule a showing or do you call your own agent?
  • But what if your agent is unavailable and you want to see the home right away?
     

                                             

If you have a Buyer's Agent, CALL THEM. If your Agent is unavailable, you should check if they have a temporary replacement (most will). Many people assume that if they see a desirable home that they call the Agent on the listing sign. However, this is an all too common mistake.

Why are you doing all the work when you have an Agent to do it for you?

When you call the Listing Agent, you are calling the Agent who represents the vendor first. That Agent may try and make the sale themselves, but how can they accurately represent both sides? Why not work with a qualified Agent who will SOLELY represent your interests?

The Newfoundland and Labrador Association of REALTORS® (NLAR) represents roughly 680 Agents, so there are plenty of us to fit your individual needs.

Many buyers do not realize the quality of services that are available.

  • Automatic notification of listings as they come to the market
  • Detailed research on your desired properties
  • Arranged appointments for viewings
  • Property price negotiations
  • Access to a host of credible professionals to assist you (i.e. Mortgage Brokers, Lawyers, Home Inspectors, etc.)

As prospective home buyers , we encourage you to make use of the resources that are available. Stop focusing on "house hunting", let a qualified Buyer's Agent lead you from the day you start looking, to the initial offer, to the day you receive the keys to your new acquisition. Remember, having your own Agent ensures your best interests are protected.
