Like most things in life, there is more than
one way to achieve something. When it comes to finding the home
you love, there are basically two ways: the hard way and the easy
way.
The Hard Way
Look through thousands of ads in papers, go to
hundreds of open-inspections, spend hours on the Internet - and
then, on top of all this, put up with the following…
-
False Quotes. In the industry it's
called 'price range'. In reality, it's 'bait pricing'. You see a
home advertised with an "estimated" price. It looks great. You
get your hopes up. Later you discover you had no chance of
buying at the price advertised. It was a bait price. And so you
start again. And then it happens again. It's hard to buy with
bait prices.
-
False Advertising. The home looks
great in the ad. In reality, it's another story. You soon learn
the painful lesson of real estate advertising. Low maintenance
garden means a slab of cracked concrete the size of a postage
stamp. Close to transport means a busy road so noisy it sounds
like the buses are going through the lounge-room. Four bedrooms
means two bedrooms plus a sunroom and a closed-in verandah
where, at a pinch, you might squeeze in a single camper bed. How
often do you see a home which is better than the advertisement
described it? It's hard to buy with false advertising.
-
Auctions. The agent says you have "a
good chance". And so you spend hundreds of dollars on inspection
reports. You eagerly await the big day only to discover that the
first bid is thousands more than you could ever pay. When you
look shocked, the agent blames "the market". It's hard to buy
with auctions.
-
Sorry, it's Sold. Why is it that the
homes you really wanted, always seem to have just sold?
-
Respect. What's going on? You're a
serious buyer and yet you can't get an agent to take you
seriously. You are treated like a looker when all you want is
some information to help you make the most important financial
decision of your life. It's hard to buy without respect and
courtesy.
-
Finding an Agent. Why is it so hard to
speak to a real person? Why do so many agents fail to return
phone calls? Why do they make and break appointments? It's hard
to find a home when you can't even find an agent.
-
Listen to me! It's probably the
biggest complaint of buyers. Most agents don't listen! You ask
for three bedrooms; they show you two bedrooms. You tell them
your price and they show you homes you can't afford. What's
going on? It's hard to buy when an agent won't listen to you.
Despite all the hassles, the discourtesy and the mucking around,
you can find a home the hard way. It may take weeks, even
months, but provided you keep at it, one day you will find the
home you love. And the relief! You will as glad to get away from
the real estate agents as you are to find a home. Thank goodness
you don't have to do it again for many years.
That's the hard way to
buy a home. It's not impossible, just unpleasant.
The Easy Way
Buying a home can be easy, simple and
pleasurable. All you have to do is find an agent who will take out
the hard parts.
To help you find the home you love.
Here's how we can help you.
Please contact us and tell us what you want - the type of home,
the area you wish to live in and the approximate price you wish to
pay.
If we have a home on our books that may suit you, we'll tell you
all about it. And, we will tell you the TRUTH - the price, the
description and the conditions of sale.
If you wish to see the home, we will then arrange an inspection
time to suit you.
If we do not have a home to suit you, we can subject to your
approval, search for a home on your behalf. We call it our Home
Find Program. Let us do the hard work. There is no obligation or
charge for this service.
Before you find the right home you need to find the right agent,
one who will treat you with respect and courtesy, one who has a
large range of beautiful homes at excellent prices. That's us. At
the moment, we have many lovely homes for sale. One could be the
home you love.
Before you make that huge financial decision, DON'T SIGN ANYTHING
to buy any home until you see what we can offer you.
