Did you know you don’t need a real estate agent to buy a home? It’s true! You can get Zillow fever, look online, go to open houses, negotiate, and try to do all the complicated paperwork yourself. Hi, I’m Eric with Eric Andersen Homes, and it’s true: you don’t need a Realtor to buy a home. But why do everything yourself when you can get a market expert and experienced negotiator to look out for you for free? That’s right, the seller pays all commissions, so I can provide you with insight into the current market and help you get the best home at the best price with the best possible terms at no cost to you.
I am a Pricing Strategy Advisor, a credential that less than 1/2% of agents in the Chicagoland market hold. There were over 30,000 agents active in this area over the past 12 months, and only 155 agents, less than 1/2%, hold the Pricing Strategy Advisor designation. I take continuing education seriously and have designations like this because it not only helps me know what to look for when I’m pricing my own listings, but also to help you evaluate how appropriately other agent’s listings are priced.
It’s so easy to overpay for a home when you don’t have someone who’s an expert in pricing looking out for you. This is especially true if you’re talking directly to the listing agent, who works for the seller. Having a great agent in your corner will make sure you don’t overpay, lose out on repairs, seller concessions, or even having the seller pay some or all of your closing costs. And again, my services to you are free! So why try to do it yourself when you get the benefit of a professional at no cost?
Whether it’s an existing home or new construction, I will help you make the best investment possible and be sure your interests are being looked after. Buying a home may be the biggest investment you make, so don’t take any chances. Call me today, and let’s come up with a plan to make your dream of owning a home a reality. I’m Eric with Eric Andersen Homes, and I’m here to provide you with a smarter approach to real estate.
