Greenville SC Buyers Agent

 
Cameron J. Keegan
Accredited Buyer Representative

I have been selling Greenville, SC real estate for over 5 years, and have helped more than 60 buyers find their future home.  Although I enjoy every aspect of my real estate career, I have to admit that I love the satisfaction of helping someone buy their first home, or their fifth.  Throughout my career, I have helped every type of buyer imaginable, including first-time homebuyers, investors, second home (vacation home) purchasers, and those looking to retire to the Greenville, SC area.
 
  1. When I work with a buyer, it is important to understand, that my services are completely free.
     
  2. As your buyer's agent, I will search, based on your specific criteria, through every home for sale in the Greenville MLS and Western Upstate MLS.
    • My buyers will also receive instant e-mail notifications, every time a new home enters the market, which matches their criteria.
       
  3. As we narrow the list to the homes you want to see, I will give my undivided attention to you, as we visit the homes.
    • During these showings, I will provide all available information including the seller's disclosure statement.
    • I will also provide a detailed map of our route, so you can see exactly where we'll be going.
    • As my past buyer clients know, I never show a single house that strays from their criteria, and I never try to oversell.
       
  4. As the list of homes narrows, I will prepare a comparable market analysis to ensure that you are getting a good value for one of the most important purchases you will make in your lifetime.
     
  5. Once my buyer client finds their future home, I will guide them through all contracts, disclosures,  and other necessary documents.
    • I will assist in negotiating all aspects of the contract, to fit the specific needs on my buyer.
       
  6. As your buyer agent, I will coordinate and attend all meetings, including home inspection, termite inspection, etc.
    • I personally attend these meetings, and stay from start to completion.  My goal is not to guide the inspector, or assist in the process.  I feel that it is imperative to have a first hand knowledge of the inspector's findings in order to adequately interpret them in the repair request we will provide to the seller, or their agent.
       
  7. I will continue to work to ensure that the mortgage company (if applicable) has all necessary documention, and let the appraiser into the property to complete their report.
     
  8. Once repairs have been completed,  I will meet my buyer at the home to perform a walk-through to make sure repairs have been completed as requested, and that the property is in a condition acceptable to the buyer.
     
  9. At this point, we're ready for closing.  As your buyer's agent, I will meet you at the closing attorney's office, and will be available to answer any questions you might have about the closing documents, or any last minute questions you may have.
     
  10. Last, but not least, throughout this entire process I will work in your best interests, since the seller already has someone else working in theirs.
Some common misconceptions about working with a buyer's agent:
  • There has to be some cost to the buyer.
    • Absolutely not.  I personally do not charge the buyer a single penny, when they purchase a home utilizing me as their buyer's agent.
    • The buyer's agent is simply paid out of the existing commission structure in the seller's listing agreement.  If you do not use a buyer's agent, there is a chance that the listing agent will simply get paid more than they would if you did use a buyer's agent.
       
  • Using a buyer's agent will affect the final selling price of the home I am interested in.
    • Correct, more than likely you will pay less by having someone to negotiate in your best interests with another Realtor.
    • The commission structure is set up at the time the property is listed; utilizing a buyer's agent will have absolutely no effect on the final selling price of a listed home.
    • The buyer could end up paying less because there are various ways to incorporate costs which would normally be paid out-of-pocket.
