Over the past several years more and more agents are becoming “buyers agents.” They represent the buyer even though they get paid from the seller when the home closes.Know the reasons why you’re buying and make sure it’s the right choice. Reasons to buy vary. Good marketing conditions, a life change, a desire to invest, a location change can all affect the path you might take in finding the right property for you. Nancy as your REALTOR® can help you look deeper into these factors to facilitate the process.It’s a good idea to know all the features you desire in your new home, from the absolute must-haves to the things you would like to have, but could live without if a decision had to be made. You want an agent that listens to what you tell them in terms of the criteria you want for your ideal or dream home. 

Nancy has the knowledge and expertise over the past 31 years in the Intown Atlanta market  and out in the suburbs to work with you and be your agent. Now buyers have the internet at their fingertips and can gather information about homes instantaneously, but as your agent, Nancy has the time to do the research, preview the homes while you are at work or not in town and pull the recent comps to ensure an appropriately structured offer at the right price.As you begin your search for a new home, keeping track of what makes one different from the other will help you make better decisions in the end.

She personally has been on both the seller’s and buyer’s side through her own investment properties, and that knowledge gives her the insight to guide you through the process.You can also make the deal contingent on successful inspection results and the completion of any major repairs or deductions equal to the value of those repairs. In this market it can be more challenging with multiple offers on the table, she will guide you to make the best offer possible so that Sellers will pick yours from all the rest.  If you own a home and need to sell it prior to purchasing a new home, that is something we advise you do prior to you finding another home as most Sellers do not want to take that type of contingency especially in the market we are in today.
