Keep this in mind so you can decide whether to get a good agent like Nouman or a sleazy agent that does not communicate the way they supposed to.
- I will make sure the buyer is qualified.
Anyone can say they are interested in the home. Keep in mind that not everyone can get a pre-approval for a home loan. Nouman will make sure that the buyers are pre-approved- not just pre-qualified. There is a huge difference between the mortgage pre-qualification and the pre-approval.
Pre-qualification does not include an analysis of the buyer’s credit report, verify income, or employment, which will be key factors in whether they can get a mortgage. A pre-qualification in most instances is not worth the paper it is written on. You want buyers who have already submitted all information, including a credit report, and been given the go-ahead for a loan. As long as nothing changes with their financial situation or their credit, they should be able to get approval and buy the home.
- Negotiate the best terms
Nouman goes out of his way to fight hard for the best terms and conditions possible. This, after all, is what we are hired to do. A great hand handful of real estate agents will never consider their pocket book but what makes the most sense for their client. A good seller will give you much better advice when there is no urgency to make the sale. If a client needs adjustments for closing times or contingency dates it should be negotiated appropriately. Nouman understands the real value of each element to the customer. By pushing to get clients everything possibly can is what the best of the best do on a regular basis.
- Attend The Home Appraisal.
A good real estate agent will attend the home appraisal, so they can answer the questions the appraiser has and make sure they understand the facts about the home. Appraisers may need feedback from someone who knows the house to do their job. Your Real Estate agent should be there to help clarify any confusion. In many instances, your Realtor will be the best qualified to answer an appraiser’s questions.
- Attend the home inspection to represent the seller.
A great seller attends the home inspection regardless if he is need or not. By Being there for inspection, we get to hear all the feedback from the inspector right away. So, if I were to be asked if the listing agent was there for the home inspection, my answer would be absolutely. This is really good to keep track of everything that is said and keep things in perspective should the buyer ask for concessions based on the inspection. Some requests may be reasonable. Others may not. That is why it is important to be there.
