Buying a Home

Buying a home?

Purchasing a property can be a trying and emotional undertaking.  At times it may even seem as though the agent is not “completely” on your side…and in most cases that is true.  All Buyers deserve to be fully represented just as Sellers are when they list their properties with a Realtor. 

“Buyers, be on guard. The realty agent showing a house, however friendly and helpful, is the sellers’ advocate.  Other agents are looking to move that property and earn a sales commission.  Only if you have a signed buyer agency contract do you have an agent acting only in your best interest.”

– Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Real Estate Section 2F 11/19/06

We offer a Buyers Agency Program which provides you with a professional real estate agent who is working on YOUR behalf.  We will guide you through the entire process from the initial search for the properties which meet your criteria through the negotiations, financing and ultimately the closing.  What's even better...this service is most often at NO charge to you…we normally receive our commission from the listing agent called a “co-broke” or from the seller (Ask for details on how this works). 

A “Buyers' Agent” can offer additional services that a Sellers’ Agent cannot, including:

• Advice – assist in negotiation strategies
• Recommendations – as to offering price and property value
• Honesty – offering a true opinion and evaluation of every property under consideration
• Market Research – analysis of similar properties to assure value
• Contracts – structuring the offer and drafting provisions with the Buyers best interest in mind, not the Sellers
• Total Disclosure – of all known information about the property, not just material defects
• Negotiation of FSBO’s – for sale by owners/non represented sellers

Purchasing a property is one of the largest investments you will ever make…don’t go into this process unrepresented!  Star Properties, Inc. will be by your side every step of the way to answer all of your questions and to successfully guide you through from start to finish.  For more information and to discuss our Buyers Agency program, please contact one of our agents today.
