If you have been paying attention to real estate in Windsor-Essex, you know #YQGMarket has been on fire. If you’re a first time home buyer, an investor, or even searching for a rental, here are the top reasons you should be working with a Buyers Agent!
A buyers agent is a real estate professional who represents buyers during their real estate transactions. Purchasing a home can be a daunting task, from viewing properties and negotiating offers to lawyers and closing dates, there are a million things that could go wrong.

If you have NEVER purchased a home before, let alone in anything like our current market, it is most definitely a learning curve. To do it alone, means learning everything on your own.
A Buyer’s Agent has been through this many times, and they know exactly what it is that you need to be mindful of. Is the area prone to flooding? Permit restrictions on the addition you were contemplating? Amount of offers you are competing against?
Platinum Partners have YOUR back. That is how they put food on their family’s table!
A Buyer’s agent earns a living based off of the commissions paid by sellers, (yes, you read that right, you're not the person who pays your agent's commission!) and it is their job to know the ins and outs of the #YQGMarket
Buyers Agents have access to the MLS, as well as the many tools that come along with it! Having a Realtor® who is monitoring all active and sold listings is one of the most important requirements a buyer should have. Especially in a hot market such as ours.
Not only does monitoring the MLS give them knowledge of the market, it saves the buyers from wasting time on properties that are no longer available, out of budget, or overpriced. Giving them the upper hand over other buyers who choose to do it on their own!
Realtors® are professionals at networking. Buyers need to work with everyone from inspectors, real estate lawyers, and mortgage professionals. Unlike a buyer, who on average purchases a home 2-3 times in their lives, Realtors® are exposed to this consistently. They are able to make recommendations based on personal experiences, saving buyers from having to tediously look for reviews online.
The Offer
Putting an offer on a home can be an overwhelming emotional experience. However, Buyers Agents are well versed with these types of transactions. They are able to look out for the buyer's best interest, and keep the emotions out of it. From registering the offer, to signing the agreement, and everything in between, the entire process is made easier by licensed real estate professionals.
They tackle the paperwork, so buyers don’t have to!
Did you know that builders can move their closing dates up to a year? Buyers Agent know this, as well as a sleuth of information that can help set up a real estate transaction for success!
Coming up to a closing date, there are many moving parts involved to make sure that when the day comes, the keys are in the buyers hands. Buyer’s Agents have the knowledge and expertise to ensure expectations are set, and everyone involved is on the same page.
Investing in Yourself!
At the end of the day, having a Buyers Agent in your corner, is an investment in yourself and your real estate transactions! With your Realtor®’s knowledge and expertise , you will be able to navigate the #YQGMarket with confidence!
