Buying a home is a tough decision. However, this is why real estate agents are there for home buyers. Their work is to make the purchasing a lot easier.
Yes, buying a home is a challenging, huge, and expensive process. However, with good real estate agents, any buyer can be accommodated at any time. There are many scenarios that the buyer and agent have a disconnection. Here are some of the reasons why home buyers make their agent’s job harder:
Planning a secret price down negotiation
After all, the transactions are done and initial procedures. Hitting a surprise price down negotiation with your seller is a big no-no. We assure you that it will only bring more stress to the difficult transaction among all the parties involved. If you have any intentions to this, it’s better to let your agents know ahead of time.
Bringing everyone during the open house
It’s typical for the potential buyer to view the property during an open house to ask the agent for a private showing which can happen for two or more times. However, it can be stressful for the agents if you go to the property showing bringing your designer, contractor, architect and some friends checking out and measuring every corner of the house.
You can probably bring the people who have a say in your decisions. However, it is important for the buyers to give themselves the chance to gauge their own decision and reactions first.
Changing decisions repeatedly
Having a decision shift during the home buying process is normal and usually a common part of the buyer evolution process. But if you do this over and over again and you find yourself that you are uncertain about really buying the house, maybe it’s just that you aren’t ready to purchase a home, and that’s fine to take your time and study the marketing process first.
Buying a home is a journey. But if you find a good agent, everything will go smooth, and it can add so much value. Always remember that until the buyer and seller disclose the arrangement, it will also be the end of the agent’s free service. For their hard work, agents must be leveraged as a huge resource, too when the right time comes.
Making a lot of demands on the agent’s time
Demanding for loads of attention of your agent’s time is just not fair. We mean is when the buyer is not entirely ready to buy the house or they are a year away from pulling the trigger, but there they are, making a lot of demands. One good example of this is when they ask the agents to research the property’s city building permits because of curiosity is not right especially if the buyer already knows that the property does not meet and fit with their requirements. Agents’ jobs are hard enough to ask for a lot of attention just because of curiosity and probably just a waste of time.
