Why have a Buyer’s Agent?
If you’ve never bought a home, or if it has been some years, you may not know that Representation by a Realtor for a Buyer is a formalized agreement, just as a Listing Agreement is a formalized agreement between seller and agent. While buyers may easily find homes on line and make contact with the listing broker to view the home and even write a contract to purchase the home, they will be doing so without the benefit of the knowledge, expertise and guidance of an agent who is dedicated to representing that Buyer. A Buyer’s Representation Agreement spells out the services that the agent will provide, and also what expectations are for the buyer. If you are not well acquainted with, and completely comfortable with your agent, the representation agreement period can be for a short period of time, a day, a week or for whatever time you may specify.
In most cases, the buyer will not pay anything for the representation of the Buyer’s Agent. Usually the Agent’s fee is paid by the seller. Sometimes an unrepresented Seller may not be willing to pay the Realtor’s commission. In that event a Buyer may choose not to be shown homes in that category.
An experienced Realtor representing a Buyer can save time in finding properties that meet specific needs, work diligently to negotiate the best price and terms and provide sources of Lender’s who offer great rates along with great service as well as qualified home inspectors, closing attorneys, insurance options and more.
Don’t go it alone. Take the team approach. Happy House Hunting.

Benefiting from this fund raiser was the Green Hills/Belle Meade chapter of Mobile Meals and Second Harvest. The Mobile Meals chapter also serves surrounding areas, like Berry Hill, Edgehill, Melrose. In addition to monetary contributions, attendees brought non-perishable food items. A total of five large boxes of food was collected for second harvest. While monetary contributions were split between Second Harvest and Mobile Meals, the director for Mobile Meals said funds donated to them would feed three to four people for a year. Recipients of Mobile Meals who are able to pay, pay a nominal fee for their meals. There are many more who are unable to pay.
I’ve just listed a lovely home in Hill Place that has such a great floor plan, It’s hard to imagine the family whose life-style it would not fit. Classic style, enduring quality, beauty and functionality come together here. There are four generous bedrooms each with a private bath, The Master suite is located on the first floor, but a second master is on the second floor. There is an amazing amount of storage from cabinetry in the mud room to the second floor office, even more cabinets in the domestic command center, built-in bookshelves in the Den which opens from the kitchen, as well as in the upstairs recreation room.
Center Hill Lake in the winter is more serene, quieter and every bit as breathtakingly beautiful as during those lovely seasons that permit swimming, skiing, boating and fishing. As I sat in my beautiful furnished model at Highland Cove Condominiums on a recent Saturday Open House event, I was once again overwhelmed by the beautiful setting.
