Internet Savvy Buyers have TOO MUCH Information
Ben Schmidt of www.benschmidt.tv a Fredericton NB and Oromocto NB Real Estate Agent video blogs about internet savvy buyers
In a time where buyers can research throughly any of any product or service, I hear often from young buyers "yea, I just look myself, and when I find the home I want, I'll just contact a realtor to transact the deal." I originally was upset and hurt when I heard these comments, then I use to think "well that's what some people will think and you can't change that", but know I want to voice my opinion.
This is just one example, how working with a Realtor will make sure you get the home you wanted. I'll paint the scenario. I've worked with a buyer for 3 weeks and we've seen 15 homes. I know exactly the locations, price, and style of home my buyer wants. I see a home come onto my system, www.filogixdms.com, and I see it fits this criteria, I'm going to call my buyer immediately. Well as a Realtor, I'm privy to this house for an entire day before the general public and www.realtor.ca
So you can see how the "I can do it myself" attitude can lose you a house. Back in March the marketplace was HOT, and homes were selling the day they became available.

If you want to be made aware of homes the moment they become available, give me an email at ben.schmidt@me.com
