Buyer Representation
Understand the market. Then buy the house.
Considered, education-first representation for buyers who would rather understand a market than rush into one. We read the house and the contract before you sign either.
Typical engagement: two to four weeks of preparation, then targeted tours
The Method
Six steps. No theatrics.
Whether it is a first home or a fifth, the process is the same: preparation, then patience, then precision. The broker handles the file from introduction through closing — no handoffs, no transaction coordinators.
- Step 1
Goals
What you’re solving for: school district, commute, acreage, budget, timeline. We listen first, advise second.
- Step 2
The market
How Northwest Georgia is priced right now. Comps, mortgage rates, taxes, insurance — the real monthly cost of owning.
- Step 3
The house
How to read a home: roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical. What inspectors catch and what they often miss.
- Step 4
The offer
Writing a Georgia purchase agreement: price, contingencies, earnest money, and how to compete without overpaying.
- Step 5
Touring
Now we walk houses. You’ll know what to look at, what to ignore, and what to ask. Most clients tour 5–12 homes.
- Step 6
Closing
Inspection, appraisal, financing, final walk-through, and the keys. We sit beside you at the closing table.
What it costs
Buyer representation in Georgia is typically paid by the seller as part of the transaction — meaning most of our buyer clients pay us nothing out of pocket. For unusual arrangements, our fee is disclosed in writing before we start.
