Buyers Who Plan To Buy and The Realtors® Who Love Them!
I’ve been helping Main Line Chester County Home Buyers Plan to Buy since 1992. One thing I know for sure, my happiest Buyers have a Home Buyers Plan To Buy. A Home Buyers Plan to Buy ensures your home purchase will be a great home, a good investment, and will save you time, money and aggravation.
I’m a Realtor® and an Accredited Buyer Agent. My style is to work with Buyers as a Real Estate “Consultant”. What’s the difference? A Real Estate Consulting relationship is an ongoing relationship that focuses on YOU! I frequently get calls from Buyers who say something like, “We saw this house and we’d like to go see it today”. We can do that, but…
If there are 10 Steps To Buying A Property, that’s like starting with Step #9, or “putting the cart before the horse”as they say.

A Real Estate Consulting Style Story –
I was working with a First Time Home Buyer, a young couple, just married. Among other things, they dreamed of a “home in the country, high on a hill, with no neighbors”. “Would it be ok if I asked you a couple of questions?”, I said. “What is it about being in the country with no neighbors that appeals to you?” They said, “We’re renting now. Our neighbors are loud and we have no privacy and we both love dogs. We want a yard so we can have a dog.” My response was, “imagine for a minute, that one day you have a family, maybe one of you is at home. What ever you decide is fine with me, but how would a life without neighbors, close by friends or potential playmates sound for a family?” We looked at many homes, including the house on the hill. We looked at homes with a yard, with some privacy and some neighbors and found a great home that met all of their needs.
The announcement and picture of the new baby came in the mail. When I called to offer my congratulations, my buyer expressed her appreciation saying they love their home AND their neighborhood. “Remember that house on the hill, Judy?” Sure do! “We are so glad we didn’t buy that one! We would have had to move.”
That’s just one of the differences between real estate consulting and traditional sales. It’s all good and there’s no additional cost to my Buyers. In Pennsylvania, Sellers mostly continue to pay for the Buyer Agent services through the Broker co-op commission agreement.
