If you are looking for help to buy a home in Columbus, Ohio then you should contact a Buyer’s Agent. But, not all Buyer’s Agents are the same. The best representation for a residential or investor home buyer in Columbus, Ohio is an Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA) or Exclusive Buyer Broker (EBB). An Exclusive Buyer Agent will always look out for your best interest and protect you in the home buying process.
Here are the TOP 10 reasons to use an Exclusive Buyer Agent:
- We ONLY represent buyers. We are EXPERTS at buyer representation.
- We negotiate the BEST price and terms for you.
- We don’t sell homes. We advise, counsel and educate.
- We assist Buyers in evaluating the BEST financing options.
- We have a duty to DISCLOSE all material information to our Buyer’s.
- We are Buyer advocates that work to PROTECT your investment.
- We are the GUARANTEED highest level of representation.
- We SAVE you time and money. We pay attention to the details.
- We provide MORE available homes to our Buyer’s than most other agents.
- We locate, evaluate and negotiate for our Buyer’s.
For more information contact an Exclusive (true) Buyer Agent today.
Helping home buyers is our only speciality.
A true Buyer’s Agent (EBA) will have no conflicts of interest….ever!
An Exclusive Buyer Agent is NOT Superman. But, we are the home buyers best protection and advocate in the home buying process.
Good luck out there.
Starting in January 2009, Condo loan guidelines will be even more difficult for home buyers. Fannie Mae & 
Freddie Mac guidelines will change which will affect nearly all conventional condo loans. But, FHA loans should not be affected (good news). The major change is a pricing adjustment that will increase the interest rate for the following condo loans.
- Buyer is putting down 25% or less (Loan to value percentage exceeds 75%).
- If a condo loan term is great than 15 years
The approximate rate increase on these types of condo loans will be 1/2% or higher.
These new condo guidelines would have affected nearly 99.999% of all condo owners that I have helped since 1996. This is a ridiculous new change that I think will really hurt condo sales in the Columbus, Ohio area. We are moving in the wrong direction if we want to try and help the real estate and mortgage industry recover.
Good luck out there!
