Capt.
Rich Wittig as your Buyers Agent:
Only
I, as your BUYERS AGENT, will show
you all the houses that meet the criteria YOU
specify, whether an owner lists the houses by a real estate
agency or sometimes even privately. At the same time Rich,
as your BUYERS AGENT. will give you an objective
opinion about whether a home is right for you or not.
Since your BUYERS AGENT is working only on your behalf, I will
only reveal to the seller information that will benefit your
bargaining position. Then, once you have found a home that
you want to buy, I will research the market, the seller and the
property history to make sure you are not overpaying, and that
there are no hidden complications or problems. The net
result? You get the house you want and in many cases
pay less for it than if you used the Listing Agent or NO
Agent, and certainly not more. Just as important, it cost
no more to use a BUYERS AGENT. That's because the commission on
a property is actually two commissions: normally one-half to the
selling or listing agent (possibly more), and one-half (possibly
less) to the buyers agent who would be me. As you see this
is at NO COST TO YOU THE BUYER! My services as a BUYERS AGENT are
FREE to the
Buyer. Why not RELAX, have NO hassles, and let a
professional do the work?
Why
doesn't every house buyer use a buyer's agent? First,
buyer's agents are a relatively new class of agent and most
people just don't know they exist. Others are still learning
about the advantages of using a buyer's agent. Second, the
traditional seller's agent is not about to recommend an agent
who will actively work to reduce the final price of the house.
Thirdly, if the Listing Agent sells the house, that agent
receives all the Professional Fees (Commissions) negotiated from
the property seller. When you SIGN ME as your Registered
Buyers Agent, you pay NOTHING for the service.
The Seller's Agent/Property Owner pays for my Professional Fee.
You can cancel at any time that you are NOT satisfied with my
service by putting it in writing. You of course, can
cancel at NO CHARGE!
