Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a real estate agent in a competitive market like Boise?
In a competitive market, a good agent gives you a significant advantage. They have access to the latest listings, sometimes even before they go public. Their expertise in crafting compelling offers and negotiating terms can be the deciding factor in a multiple-offer situation. For sellers, they ensure your property is priced and marketed effectively to attract the best offers quickly.
How does a buyer’s agent get paid?
Typically, the buyer’s agent commission is paid by the seller from the proceeds of the sale. This means as a buyer, you get dedicated representation, market expertise, and negotiation support at no direct cost to you. It’s one of the best value propositions in the real estate process.
What’s the first step if I’m thinking of buying a home?
The best first step is to speak with a trusted real estate agent and a mortgage lender. Your agent can provide insights into the current market and help you define your search criteria, while a lender can get you pre-approved for a loan. Pre-approval shows sellers you are a serious, qualified buyer and gives you a clear budget to work with. Our team can connect you with reputable local lenders to start the process.
