EBAs Know The Market

An agent who knows the market in your area can help a buyer avoid wrong turns along the road to home ownership.  EBAs can help buyers indentify everything from preferential school districts to mass transit options--issues that are (or should be) concerns of every buyer. An EBA’s insights are priceless, particularly because the EBA is concerned solely with solutions that fit the buyer’s needs, versus trying to balance the buyers’ and sellers’ desires.

Take the pulse of your most recent real estate transaction and see what an EBA would have done for you. Ask yourself:

• Have I seen every home for sale in the immediate area?
• Have I been provided adequate market data upon which to base my offer?
• Have I been made aware of impending assessments or bond issues? 

Only after you’ve gotten answers to these questions are you able to assess whether you’re ready to make a purchase. Once an EBA has introduced you to the entire real estate inventory including MLS listings or For-Sale-by-Owner homes, you will know if you’ve set your sights on the ideal purchase.
