Buying a Home

Buying a home is exciting. Whether you're buying a starter home or finally making your dream home a reality, it can be a great adventure. It can also be a very time-consuming and costly one if you're not familiar with all aspects of the process.

We're committed to bringing you current information and resources to help you make an informed decision that's right for you.

The delivery of comprehensive and high-quality service that we can offer can save you time and money, as well as make the experience more enjoyable.

We work for YOU!

If you are a Buyer, the Harker Team always represents You.

 

Traditionally, RealtorsŪ have represented only Sellers in a real estate transaction. (Did you know that?) During the 1980s, states across the country directed that agents must disclose to the Buyers that they legally represent Sellers. Buyers began asking, "Who represents me?" The result was the birth an subsequent growth of a new service within the real estate industry called Buyer Advocacy or Buyer Agency.

Simply stated, Buyer's Agency provides the buyer specific duties. They include fiduciary duties of loyalty, confidentiality, due diligence, and disclosure. You, the buyer, now have someone looking out for your best interest.  

A Buyer benefits in several ways from representation. A Buyer Agent has no conflict of interest. For Buyers who don't know the marketplace, such as transferees and first-time purchasers, Buyers Agency can be very beneficial. It allows The Harker 5-Star Team to be the Buyer's advocate and to provide the benefit of decades of combined experience in the real estate business.
