Buyer Services
I've been practicing buyer agency for over 16 years, long before the State of Alabama required agency disclosure laws in 1996. If at any time a Buyer Client is not completely satisfied with my buyer agency services, they can terminate the agency relationship with no strings attached!
My buyer agency services include:
Conduct a buyer agency consultation with prospective buyer to determine their financial ability, motivation to purchase and time frame for purchasing Enter into a Buyer Agency Agreement for a time period anywhere from 1 showing to 30 days Perform a loan analysis to determine the most favorable loan for the Buyer Provide the Buyer Client a print-out of every currently available home within our local MLS meeting their search parameters, including FSBO's (For Sale By Owners) - pointing out strengths and weaknesses Prepare a study of property values in Buyer's chosen neighborhood Prepare a market analysis for chosen properties Consult with Buyer Client regarding counteroffers, always negotiating in the best interest of Buyer Client Include critical buyer protection clauses within any offers (critical since Alabama is still a "Buyer Beware" state) Assist the Buyer Client in locating reputable inspectors and closing officers Assist the Buyer Client with financial information to acquire favoreable loans and rates Monitor all aspects of the sale to assure a smooth closing (this includes a review of the HUD-1 Settlement Statement "prior" to day of closing with Buyer Client) Make myself available to my Buyer Clients 24/7 Protect Buyer Client's confidentiality.Seller Services
My firm, Auburn Homes And More, LLC, has an excellent record for expedient sales. I specialize in handling all the details of a property sale making it stress-free for the Seller. Seller's deserve to have a Listing Agent who gets their property sold expediently and for the highest price possible.
The most important aspect of listing a home for sale is correct pricing. I provide the Seller with a comprehensive Broker's Price Opinion that eliminates over-pricing which is directly related to the length of time a property remains on the market. Since correct marketing is critical to getting a home sold, I constantly research the Auburn/Opelika real estate market and property values so my Seller Clients' homes are priced effectively from day one.
As an e-PRO certified REALTOR, my Internet marketing for listings is extensive, providing exposure of my Sellers' homes on major real estate websites and search engines (i.e., my office website, personal website, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Yahoo.com, Homeseekers.com, Google.com, and too many more to list here).
In addition to the above, for each property listing, I perform the following:
Enter listing into our local MLS Prepare professional brochures highlighting the features and benefits of the Seller's home Distribute brochures to top local agents, neighbors and potential buyers to increase awareness Promote Seller's property to other agents at all office, company, MLS, board, and other meetings for maximum exposure Include the Seller's home in my innovative marketing and advertising systems which includes providing a FREE visual tour Review time-tested preparation and staging tips for successful showings Provide the Seller Client with access to a password-secured, Internet-based, showing feedback website which allows the Seller Client to view agent and buyer feedback comments Keep the Seller Client informed with prompt, honest, and consistent communication Represent the Seller Client's best interest in all negotiations Closely monitor all activities with lender, closing attorney, inspector, appraiser, other agents, etc. to insure a successful closing Concentrate on solutions, not problems Produce the quickest sale, at the highest price, with the least amount of inconvenience to the Seller Client I make myself available 24/7 to my Seller Clients| Protect Seller Client's confidentiality.I'm Pat Whitman, owner of Auburn Alabama Virtual Assistance with 17 years experience as a licensed Broker.
