Why Work With Buyer's Agent?


We pledge to do the following:

•    Set up custom searches for you and automatically notify you when homes matching your criteria become available.  I can show you ALL homes that are for sale, even those listed with other companies, for sale by owner (FSBO), and new homes being sold by builders. 
•    If needed, we can recommend a lender to help you get pre-qualified so you know exactly how much you can afford.
•    Explain to you the pros/cons of each home, help you determine what price to offer on a home, & present and negotiate the offer. 
•    Provide you with a "Buyer's Comparative Market Analysis" when thinking about an offer to show how the home compares to competing homes and give you guidance for  negotiations.
•    Provide you with a step-by-step guide so you know exactly what to do once you are under contract on a home and work as your project manager to keep things running smoothly.
•    Order all inspections for you and negotiate repairs on your behalf.
•    Schedule the closing with an attorney and arrange for the attorney to do a title search and survey.
•    Review the settlement statement with you so you understand all of the closing costs and know how much money to bring to closing.
•    Accompany you to the closing and arrange for you to get the keys to your new home.
•    Be available for any questions you have during your home search, the closing process, and even after your closing. 


How Buyers’ Agents make the difference:
Until recent years, a buyer in North Carolina had no representation in the real estate transaction. In fact, North Carolina state law required that agents always represent the seller and, as a consequence, the buyer never had independent, dedicated, and loyal representation.  Sellers had an agent working on their behalf, but buyers had no similar option!
In 1995, the law changed and provided for a Buyer's Agency agreement, and now the agent owes his/ her buyer client loyalty, obedience, accountability, confidentiality, and reasonable skill, care and diligence.
In almost every instance, a buyer's agent costs you nothing, because in North Carolina the buyer's agent receives his/ her payment as a share of the commission the seller has already agreed to for selling the home.

How The Kemble Team makes a difference:
In addition to those very basic commitments, buyers who choose to work with me will receive a variety of other buyer services.
Buying or selling a home can be complicated, time consuming and intimidating; requiring a huge investment of emotion and finances.   Toni and Tom act as your personal ‘project manager’ and streamline the entire process.
We can help you develop a home buying goal that helps you decide among properties, taking into account proximity to work, maintenance issues, floor plan and value differences, as well as neighborhood amenities, with consideration for the lifestyle you are seeking.
We bring our considerable negotiating experience, helping you get the best deal possible.  This includes a detailed comparative market analysis.  Tailored for the buyer this analysis shows you how similar homes are valued by the market, so you don’t pay too much!
We do the legwork for you saving you valuable time and money. Bringing a transaction to closing involves moving through a veritable maze of interrelated events...loan qualification, appraisal, survey, title work, inspections, occupancy, each with its own due date and significance. We manage it all for you!

These services require a buyer agency agreement. Without one, any licensed real estate professional is required by the NC laws and rules of the NC Real Estate Commission to serve the best interest of the sellers, by default. Don’t deprive yourself of your own representation.  
The “Working with Real Estate Agents” brochure describes the possible agency relationships a consumer can have and any consumer should receive this prior to hiring any real estate agent or showing significant interest in a particular property, according to the rules of the NC real estate commission.

Sellers have dedicated real estate agent representing them, shouldn’t you?
