What is a Property Finder?
When buying a home, the process can be both exciting and overwhelming. From searching for the perfect property to negotiating the best deal, there are many details to consider. This is where a property finder, also known as a buying agent, can come in handy. A property finder is a professional who acts on behalf of the buyer to find and purchase a property. This blog post will discuss the benefits of working with a property finder and how they can save you time and money in your home search.
Who uses a Property Finder or Buying Agent?
A typical client of a Rowallan Exclusive Property Buying Agents is an individual or family looking to purchase a property. This can include first-time home buyers, individuals looking to upgrade to a larger home, people relocating to a new area, and investors looking to purchase rental properties or properties for resale.
Other typical clients may include people who are relocating for work, people who are downsizing after retirement, people who are looking for a second home or holiday property, people who are looking for an investment property, and people who are looking for a property to fix and flip.
They nearly always have demands for a property in a specific location or with particular features, such as a property with a certain number of bedrooms or bathrooms, a property with a minimum square footage, or a property located in a specific school catchment or area.
Time Savings
One of the most significant benefits of working with Rowallan Exclusive Property Buying Agents is time-saving. Buying a home can take a lot of time, especially if you do it independently. You’ll need to spend time searching for properties, scheduling viewings, reviewing, researching, and going through the paperwork. A property finder can take care of all of this for you, leaving you free to focus on other things like family or work.
A property finder has access to a wide range of properties, including properties that are not publicly listed, often known as off-market or hidden, and can quickly narrow down the search based on your specific needs and preferences. They will also preview properties and schedule viewings with their clients of properties that meet the criteria well and handle all the paperwork, so you don’t have to. This can save you significant time and make the process less stressful.
What are a Property Finders Fees and can they save me money
Another benefit of working with a property finder is the money saving. A property finder has the knowledge and expertise to negotiate the best deal for you, often saving 10s if not 100s of thousands of pounds. Whilst a buying agent will charge for their services, the savings they negotiate should, far and away, outweigh any cost of any fees.
They can help you find properties that are priced below market value and negotiate a lower price for you. They can also help you avoid common mistakes that can cost you money, such as overpaying for a property or missing out on important deadlines.
A property finder can also help you with the financing process, which can be complex and time-consuming. They have a reliable bank of excellent and proven mortgage advisors/brokers and find the best mortgage rates guiding you through the application process. This can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.
Insider Access
As discussed above, Rowallan Exclusive Property Buying Agents have access to properties that are not always available to the general public. In addition, we have connections with other real estate agents and can access properties that have yet to be listed on the market.
For those that have been, our relationship with the agents is likely to reveal information that the general public is unlikely to garner. This gives you an edge in the home-buying process and lets you see properties before they are available to other buyers.
Insider access can also be beneficial when it comes to negotiating a deal. A property finder has the knowledge and experience to understand the market and can help you make a competitive offer. They can also help you navigate the closing process and ensure everything goes smoothly.
