Service Goal

My service goal for buyers is to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the property search objectives; to locate and arrange viewings of appropriate properties; and, to negotiate the best possible offer and sales contracts to minimize your costs and maximize your value.

Get the Services You Want 24/7

I will provide you with the services you want and need to find and buy your new property 24 hours a day/7 days a week.  If you are in a hurry to proceed with a purchase as quickly as possible, please call or contact me by email using the Buyer Contact Form below.  I can meet with you at our office or contact you by telephone/email to arrange for immediate viewings of selected properties. Or, if you are not quite ready to buy yet but would like to begin monitoring new listings, I can set up a personal search site for you to see all new listings that match your criteria as soon as they are listed.  Your site will have virtually all of the detail available to realtors including addresses, photos and maps – most clients have found this service vastly superior to surfing on their own using mls.ca or realtor.ca. You can either call/email me to identify your search criteria using the Property Watcher Form.

Are You Already Working with a Realtor?

It may seem strange, but this is one of the first questions I will ask you. If you are already working effectively with another realtor, I will suggest that you continue to use that realtor for your property purchase. On the other hand, if you are unhappy with the service you are receiving from a realtor, I will be glad to provide you with the services you require. However, I will only work with you as your sole realtor. The reasons why this is in your best interest are discussed below.

Why You Should only Work with One Realtor

Reason 1. Your own buyer realtor will take the time to fully understand your needs and find all properties that meet your needs.

It takes time to share the information with a realtor to define your property needs effectively. Once this has been done, your agent can search for all of the properties for sale that will meet you needs on an on-going basis.If you go from one realtor to another - at open houses, or by calling up about advertised listings - you will very likely miss out on many properties that would be found using a proper search.

Reason 2. Your own buyer realtor will focus on your needs, not those of the seller.

Unless you obtain your own buyer realtor, the realtor you contact at an open house, or through an ad, etc. will really be the seller’s agent. This individual has a legal responsibility to their principal, the seller, to do everything possible to sell the property on the seller’s terms. They legally cannot and will not represent your interests. Furthermore, they are obligated to communicate anything that you tell them to the seller, if it would be beneficial in negotiating the sale. This could include seemingly innocent comments you might make to them about price, how much you “love” the house, etc. You may be unknowingly undermining your future bargaining ability.

Reason 3. Most realtors will not commit any time or resources to buyers who are trying to use other realtors at the same time.

It takes a considerable amount of time and expense to work with a buyer to purchase a property. Most of this investment is incurred by realtors before an offer is made. In many cases, a sale may not result and the realtor must accept the loss of time and money invested as the “cost of doing business”. Unless you are willing to commit to a realtor as your buyer representative, you should not be surprised if they are not willing to invest their time and money in you. It is unethical for a realtor to knowingly attempt to establish an agency relationship with a buyer or seller who is already being served by another realtor.

Buyers get Free Realtor Services!

While few things in life are really free, my realty services for you as a buyer come at no cost. This is because the seller always pays the entire real estate commission. You will never pay me a cent for all the time and money I spend helping you find and buy your next home or property. So why would you not take advantage of my professional services at no cost?
