Buyers Agents for Real Estate in the Poconos Mountains of PA.

Why employ a Poconos Buyer's agent for your purchase of a home in the mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania ?

The best reason is:

The Listing Agent is employed by the seller. This "seller's agent" has a fiduciary responsibility by contract to get the most money for the seller. Any information you provide to the listing agent must be told to the seller who will use it in negotiations against you. This is pretty powerful stuff. The Listing Agent must use any information to the seller's advantage. They CAN NOT represent you, the buyer!

So... If they find out you can afford to pay more... if they find out you are qualified for a higher mortgage, if they find out you HAVE to buy .. The seller's agent MUST pass this information along to the seller who will use it against you in negotiations.

AND guess what? The seller IS going to use whatever information they can get against you.

Also, A buyer's agent will (should, if experienced) know the market and can guide you to the right location and offering price for your purchase.

Buyer's agents will know the ski areas, lakes, where the flood areas are, how close the home is to a hospital and information that will lead you to the right home for your family or investment.

You NEED a buyer's agent to protect your interest.

Poconos buyers agents used to typically get paid out of the sales price of the home at closing. The rules are changing in 2024. Now, there are different ways to pay your buyer's agent.

You can bake the fee or commission into your offer on the home and have it paid by the seller as a "seller concession / seller assist".

You can pay your buyer's agent outside of closing.

You can reduce the price of the offer to allow for the buyer's agent to be paid outside of closing.

And, here at USA Realty, under some circumstances, you might finance all or some of your buyer's agent's fee.

When you call to arrange for a Poconos Buyer's agent to show you communities and homes, your agent will discuss the fee and you will arrange how the payment will occur. Very much like you arrange for an attorney, title insurance or home inspection.

Why a Poconos Buyer Agent

Here is what a Pocono Buyer's agent can do:

Find the Right Properties For You To Look At.

Your buyer’s agent can help direct you to properties that may be a good fit for your needs. They’ll ask you questions to get a good sense of what you’re looking for then help ensure you don’t miss any properties that may be a good match. Your real estate agent can also give you access to the MLS database, which contains all the homes for sale in a given area.

Schedule Showings of These Properties

Once you find homes you’d like to see, your buyer’s agent can schedule viewings with different listing agents. They’ll also inform you of any open houses that may be worth attending.

Draft and Submit Offers to the Seller

When you find a property you want to purchase, your buyer’s agent can help by writing and submitting offers on your behalf. This step in the home buying process involves a lot of paperwork and legal jargon, so having an experienced professional on your side can be a big asset.

Negotiate With The Seller and Seller's Agent

Often an offer from a buyer is met with a counteroffer from the seller. In this case, your buyer’s agent can negotiate the sales price and any contingencies or other terms in the contract. You should be able to count on your buyer’s agent to have your best interest in mind and give you their honest advice and opinions on
your offer and any counteroffers you receive.

Coordinate and Manage The Paperwork

Buying a home means keeping track of a lot of important documents. Your buyer’s agent should stay on top of your paperwork so nothing important gets overlooked.

This paperwork can include your:
Mortgage application
Preapproval letter
Disclosure statement
Offer letters
Purchase agreement
Purchase and sale agreement
Home inspection reports
Title paperwork

Make Recommendations of Other Local Professionals

Before you can close on your new home, you’ll need to hire other real estate professionals. Your agent can put you in touch with people in their network including home inspectors, real estate attorneys and movers. If your buyer’s agent is experienced, they should be able to recommend professionals they know to be reputable so you can be sure you're working with people you can trust.
