For the first time in a long time, the Ann Arbor area is experiencing a ‘buyers’ market.’ This is a result of more listings on the market than buyers purchasing in a given area. We have seen prices come down over the past 4 years, and now starting to stabilize a bit in some areas as we approach the end of the first quarter of 2008. With mortgage rates still low, many people consider this a really great time to buy!

Buyers’ Agent – did you know this benefit does not cost you any extra?

Buyers’ Agency is one of the best kept secrets of real estate! Most people have no idea that they can have all the benefits of working with a buyers’ agent at no additional cost to them – in fact, it may even save them money!
How it works: A Buyers’ Agent is paid a portion of the commission a seller has already agreed to pay their Listing Agent (Sellers’ Agent). This commission is split 4 ways between the Listing Broker, Listing Agent, Buyers’ Broker and Buyers’ agent. If you purchase directly from the Listing Agent, the same amount of commission is split only two ways between the Listing Broker and the Listing Agent, and you have no one representing your interests in the process.

Working with a Buyers’ Agent can actually save you money…As an advocate for your best interest, we will inform you of the market information you need to make a reasonable offer and we’ll negotiate on your behalf throughout the process resulting in the best purchase price possible. We will also make sure you are aware of your costs and opportunities for credits from the seller. In the long run, this can save you thousands of dollars compared to negotiating on your own behalf directly with the Sellers’ Agent (who is obligated to represent only the best interests of their client – the Seller).
