Buyer’s first Realtor® was pushing her to make above-list-price offers.
Challenge:
The National Association of Realtors states that nine in 10 home buyers today rely on the internet as one of their primary research sources. One first-time buyer began her search process online and even chose an agent from an ad on the site she was using for her search. The agent provided her with poor guidance and suggested all offers be above the asking price. In one case the home had been on the market for over two months. The buyer eventually lost confidence in her agent and became increasingly confused about the search and buying processes. She wanted an agent that would help her better understand the process and secure a favorable deal on a great property.
Success:
Fortunately for this buyer, she shared her recent home buying experience with a REALTOR® from Aspire Realty Advisors. We quickly initiated a proactive search in her desired geographic areas with her necessary parameters and price points. Within a few weeks we were able to open escrow on her future home, at below-list-price for a nearly identical property that her original agent was trying to get her to offer over asking price. Aspire Realty not only helped our first-time buyer save over seven percent on the purchase price, but also helped her find a reliable lender as well.
