WESTSIDE ESTATE AGENCY
BUYER REPRESENTATION EXPERIENCE
TO ADVISE & TO ADVOCATE
Buying a home can be one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. It can be a thrilling but daunting process, so having a skilled advisor to prioritize your interests is paramount.
Our approach is to understand your wants, needs, and what is most important to you. Once we know your goals, we work with you to formulate a plan to achieve them.
We believe preparation and strategy are key. Our knowledge and experience ensure that you are represented in a manner conducive to achieving your best possible outcome. We also believe that “there are no good surprises in real estate,” so we want you to understand the process and related costs, such as escrow, title, and inspections (among others), as well as how we get paid for representing you.
OUR AGENTS
Just as every home and every client is unique, so is every agent. We hand-select our real estate agents from the worlds of business, academia, entertainment, and, of course, real estate. They are high achievers from diverse fields and experts in the details and subtleties that define multi-million-dollar negotiations. Our agents possess a passion for fine architecture and intimate, property-by-property knowledge of their local areas. They innately understand the finer points of caring for clients with high net worth and even higher expectations. We match our agents with our clients through a precise understanding of both, knowing which agent will inherently meet a client’s needs and goals.
WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR
Finding Your Home:
Anyone with a cell phone can see what is listed for sale. However, an exclusive WEA buyer’s agent can provide information that you can’t easily find online, such as neighborhood details, history, and trends. Additionally, an agent can search for “For Sale by Owners”, expired listings, properties for lease that might also be for sale, “coming soon” listings, and even properties that the seller is not actively marketing (until your buyer’s agent introduces you to them). In short, our experience and connections enable us to uncover opportunities that others simply wait for.
Negotiating for You:
You are not alone. We are here to ensure you are comfortable and fully informed throughout the process. The agent representing the seller has a signed agreement to advocate solely for seller. You should have an agent on your side, who is committed to putting your interests first. The contract spans over 25 pages and is filled with confusing and arcane terms. That’s okay – we know what we’re doing and are experts in local market dynamics and trends. It’s important not only to negotiate terms that help you secure the home you want but also to avoid overpaying or getting trapped in a bad deal without an easy way out. We will assist you in finding the right balance of price and terms.
Due-Dilgence & Repairs:
The due-diligence period and process are integral parts of the journey, allowing buyers a detailed look at a property’s condition and history. We provide guidance and conduct thorough research to negotiate effectively for repairs, credit, and/or a price reduction.
Professional Recommendations:
Throughout the course of a property transaction, a buyer needs to engage the services of various professionals, such as home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and movers. A WEA buyer’s agent, with our extensive network and industry experience, can offer valuable recommendations in this regard. These recommendations can be incredibly beneficial for the buyer, saving them the time and effort of searching for reliable professionals and providing assurance that the recommended professionals have a track record of delivering quality service.
Getting You There:
A good buyer’s agent provides valuable insights and professional advice throughout the home-buying process. They help clients understand the local market conditions, offer guidance on making competitive offers, and share their knowledge of the neighborhood and community.
