Another Article About The Buyers's Market

I enjoy reading various articles that supposedly knowledgeable journalists write - because there are usually quite a number of mistakes or gross generalizations in every article that need to be picked apart...

We agree - buy smart & buy cheap and read Ilyce Glink's

"100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask."



We don't agree that you should conduct preliminary research online at Web sites like Zillow.com, Trulia.com and greatschools.net -- these are pretty awful sites in general.
Zillow is extremely inacurrate. Trulia only has a small subset of homes in the MLS (very small subset).

And you won't need cash for your closing costs if you purchase a home through us. We have the seller pay for all of your closing costs.

By the way - there are MUCH better databases on schools than greatschools.net
(Something we provide our clients with..)

Just want to get a handle on what is out there? Email us at info@relocationadvisorsgroup.com and we'll set you up on a familiarization feed - of exactly what you are looking for (please be as specific as you can) -- from the ENTIRE MLS - not just a small sub-set of it.

Should you think about becoming a client at some point - we'll sit down with you in a mutal Q&A session to really explore your needs in greater depth.

Have a nice day :-)

Touring a New Home Builder Site - Signing in Yourself? Not a Good Idea.....

ALL home builders have a dirty little secret... And that is - that -- if you as a buyer -- sign in to a new homes development by yourself -- you lose your right to representation by an agent of your choice later. Why? If you procure an agent later to represent you - they won't get paid from that development!

So they won't represent you (unless you have a contract with them - but if you do - the builder won't be paying out to reimburse you - or your fee to your agent - and you'll be on the hook for the fee.)

If you try to represent yourself - the builder doesn't discount your price by the amount that they didn't pay out. They just keep it for themselves!

We specialize in keeping on top of the various "secret incentives" that various developments are offering - that they don't advertise.

We find out about them in various ways.

This is valuable information that you won't typically obtain with other agents. We recently had a developer throw in many extra upgrades for one of our buyer clients - with the total upgrade package being a HUGE dollar amount.

The bottom line is -- don't EVER sign in to a new homes development without an agent of your choice present. That is the worst possible thing you could ever do.
