Why work with a broker to buy your home?
In today’s market, there are any number of ways to buy a property, whether on your own, with the seller’s broker, or with the help of your own a professional broker. Here are a few reasons why we believe working with a broker is your best bet
Buying a property is a big deal, likely the biggest investment in your lifetime. Why go at it alone? Teaming up with a professional broker means you will be better informed and better represented on the market.
Brokers not only have access to detailed information on the broker database Centris, they also have the experience and knowledge to analyse all of this market information and make sense of it for you.
The network of brokers in Montreal, although broad, is tight-knit. It is not uncommon that a deal will be closed before being publicly announced, through brokers who are able to efficiently match their buyers’ and sellers’ needs.
Making an offer on a property goes beyond knowing what price to choose, including occupation dates, possible repairs and maybe even conditions regarding co-ownership. A broker will help you put the best offer forward.
Typically, there is often a negotiation with one or sometimes multiple buyers during the purchase of a property. In working with a broker, they will ensure that your interests are best represented, all the while keeping in mind the seller’s objectives. In a good negotiation, both sides should come out feeling like they got a good deal.
