Buyer and Seller Representation and All the Things McEwen Realtors Does to Support Our Clients
When buying or selling a home, having the right representation makes all the difference. The truth is, it’s hard to suss out whether an agent is worth your time and money if you’ve never worked with them before, especially if you’re a first-time home buyer or seller. But in today’s tough market, where inventory is limited and prices are high, it’s crucial to find a skilled and experienced agent — and recognize when you’ve hired a dud. Speaking of which, we just had a great conversation with reporter Leslie Cook at Money Magazine about signs you may need a new agent. Check it out here for more! From the initial property search to the final key exchange, McEwen Realtors offers a wide range of services designed to make the buying and selling experience as smooth and successful as possible. Why? Because having the right professional in your corner is worth its weight in gold. Here's how we go above and beyond to support their clients every step of the way.1. Connecting Clients with Trusted Professionals One of the first steps in the home buying or selling process is assembling the right team. We don’t just recommend any third-party professionals; we connect our clients with reputable lenders, title companies, home inspectors, movers, and home warranty companies. These are professionals that past clients have had great experiences with, ensuring that each transaction is handled with care and expertise. By providing these connections, McEwen Realtors helps build a reliable network that clients can trust.2. Providing In-Depth Property Insights Understanding the market is imperative in real estate, and we excel in gathering detailed information about properties and our sellers. We arrange showing schedules, maintain open lines of communication with listing agents, and conduct thorough comparative market analysis (CMA) on homes. This data-driven approach ensures that clients are well-informed about the value of a property and can make decisions confidently. 3. Expert Market Analysis Market trends can vary significantly, even within the same city. We go beyond the surface-level data, analyzing market trends down to hyper-specific markets and price ranges that clients are interested in. Our insights don't stop at what’s publicly available; we provide clients with the latest trends and changes that they observe in their daily business, even before they show up in broader market reports. This approach allows clients to anticipate market movements and make informed decisions. 4. Uncovering Off-Market Opportunities In a changing market, finding the right property can sometimes mean looking beyond the MLS. McEwen Realtors taps into their extensive network of potential sellers and real estate agents to help clients find off-market properties. This ability to uncover hidden gems gives our clients a significant advantage, especially in high-demand areas. 5. Navigating Contracts and Legalities The real estate contract is no doubt daunting, but we are there to guide clients through every clause. We prepare contract paperwork, helping clients understand how to utilize contract terms for their benefit. Whether it's assessing risk, negotiating prices, or managing legal paperwork, we ensure that every detail is covered. We will always take the time to review tax records, reconcile them with MLS listings, and point out any red flags in seller disclosures. 6. Comprehensive Negotiation Support Negotiation is a critical aspect of any real estate transaction. We handle negotiations on behalf of our clients, whether it's the price, concessions, timelines, or seller leasebacks. We find a balance that benefits our clients while keeping the deal on track. Our negotiation expertise extends to inspections and appraisals, where we help clients navigate and resolve any issues that arise. 7. Managing the Entire Transaction Process From start to finish, we manage the entire transaction process. We arrange inspections, provide disclosures to inspectors, and ensure that earnest money is deposited safely in our brokerage's trust account—a service not all brokerages offer. This protects clients' funds and allows for a quick return if a transaction falls through due to contract contingencies. We also keep track of all contract dates, making sure that every party involved—lenders, title companies, and the other side—performs on time. 8. Finalizing the Sale As the transaction nears completion, we continue to support clients by reviewing the title report, pointing out any red flags, and assisting with resolving any issues. This ensures that the settlement statement is accurate and schedules the settlement. In the final stages, we coordinate the final walk-through, gather essential information about utilities and services, and arrange for the key exchange. 9. Ongoing Support After the Sale Our commitment to clients doesn’t end at closing. We want to continue to be a valuable resource, keeping clients updated on the market value of their property and connecting them with reputable movers, contractors, interior designers, landscapers, and roofers. This ongoing relationship ensures that clients always have the support they need, long after the sale is complete.
