Finding an open house is as easy as point and click: get your representation on!
Searching for open houses online has never been this easy. The Ebby Halliday Open House Finder is the best way to start. With search filters to help you find just what you’re looking for to photos that give you a sneak peek of what you’ll see in person, the benefits are great. And, it’s definitely faster and greener than sorting through a bunch of papers. Try it out for yourself. If you haven’t got realtor representation yet, be sure to request me, Angie Stephens, when you are ready to buy. Open houses are great fun, and the realtors who host them are there to answer your questions (and they will likely ask a few, too). Remember that until you have a buyer’s representation contract with a realtor of your own, any information you give to the realtor hosting the open house is to be shared with the seller. The hosting realtor represents the seller, and has their best interest at heart, unless you (like the seller) have a contract for representation.
The buyer’s representative will help you in many ways: not only by searching for properties and “opening the door”, but also in negotiations, disclosures, navigating the process, loyalty, knowledge of material facts related to the sale, and confidentiality. We are well-trained at Ebby Halliday in how to best represent buyers and sellers. Without representation, even when dealing with a new home builder, the sales person speaking with you is legally bound to serve the best interest of the selling party. Be sure when you tour that you have fun, get design ideas, explore the possibilities for homeownership in that area, and that you keep your own information confidential until you have secured your own representation.
You not only want the best house for your money, but the best value and terms as well!
Happy house-hunting, and call on me when you are ready for your own representation.
