Why You Need Representation When You Buy!

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial investments you may ever make. It is a major commitment and responsibility but it should also be a fun experience and a very exciting time in your life. We would like to congratulate you on your decision to buy a home! For a professional REALTOR there is nothing more rewarding than to hand the home buyers the keys to their new home and to share in the celebration of ownership! We at EXIT Hill Country Realty thank you for choosing us! Your EXIT Hill Country Realty professional will assist you with all aspects of your purchase to closing and beyond.  We are committed to not only meeting, but exceeding your real estate goals!  Most buyers are not aware that ALL agents represent (work for the benefit of) the seller UNLESS they enter into a Buyer's Representation Agreement with their agent.  Do not make the mistake of thinking that because an agent drives you around and shows you homes that they have a responsibility to you or work for you.  Unless you have a signed Buyer's Representation Agreement with your agent, you are only a customer, not a client and the agent owes you no fiduciary duties.   

Know Your Buying Power...Get Pre-Qualified!

No one can make an informed buying decision without having a clear picture of what they can afford.  Before you ever start the home search process, it is critical to meet with a mortgage lender and find out what your buying power is by getting Pre-Qualified for financing.  Being Pre-Qualified helps you in several ways including giving you a stronger negotiating position by being able to present your Pre-Qual letter with any purchase offer you submit.  It will also save you time in only looking at homes that are in your qualified price range.  Ask your EXIT Hill Country Realty professional for a referral to a mortgage lender that can get you started on the road to home ownership.
