5 advantages of getting a real estate agent when buying a home!
When looking for your new dream home or an investment property, a series of challenges could arise and when your dream home is in another country, with language barriers, distinct laws and other details that may differ to what you know, is important to find a real estate agent.
This person can become your strategic partner in buying a new home especially when you are moving abroad.
Costa Rica is a very popular place when it comes to purchasing homes. Apart from being only a few travel hours away from the beach or mountain, it also has amazing weather, it is a stable democracy and non-Costa Ricans have the same rights as the locals when it comes to purchasing a home! It is also one of the favorite places for retirees in the world.
When the decision to move to Costa Rica is made and you are dreaming of lush, green rainforests and shimmering, blue ocean views, to reach out to a real estate agent is the next step in purchasing your new home in paradise. Your real estate professional will take care of everything you need to make it as stress-free as possible.
The location of your new property is incredibly important and with the deep local knowledge of your real estate agent, the possibilities will be narrowed down to places that have the things that matter most to you, like recreational activities, restaurants, the beach, the mountains to name a few.
Location, location, location
Your real estate agent not only knows the area and locations that best suit your needs, they also are up on the latest when it comes to the local market trends and become your expert guide regarding what’s on the market and what will be on the market.
Stress Free Process
The truth is that buying and selling can be a stressful time. A perfect deal is full of questions around the process, timing, deadlines, and requirements. Your real estate agent becomes your advocate and expert when it comes to handling all of the details.
With expert advice and negotiation techniques, constant communication with concrete information about the buying process, taking things off the client’s plate are key to moving into a new home as stress-free as possible.
When the purchase is overseas, the distance and timing can be additional stress factors so all the more reason to trust your real estate agent who is experienced in the entire sale and purchase process and who has expertise in the local market.
End to End Accomplished
One of the greatest parts about appointing a professional real estate agent is that it is so convenient! A quality real estate company, like Costa Rica Sotheby’s Realty, will take care of everything from start to finish!
You can be absolutely confident that your qualified real estate will refer you to the necessary professionals to take care of any details of your home purchase like referring Escrow, financial and legal assistance for example. From the moment you make the first call right down to closing and handing over the keys to your fantastic new home, your real estate agent will be there.
When purchasing a home in another country, contracts and filling paperwork related to real estate transactions can be overwhelming. To have an expert in the business and of the country, assist and guide to the very end of the process in every aspect is reassuring and will make having your dream home on the beach so much easier!
Strategic Relationships
When it comes to buying a new home, we are certain that entrusting this important and emotional milestone to the expert knowledge and guidance of a real estate agent ensures a smoother ride.
Because a home purchase entails legal, financial and governmental processes, strategic relationships with reliable and trustworthy professionals in these fields is critical to meeting timeframes, legal requirements and guaranteeing financial security.
One of the most important referrals a real estate agent can give you based on successful previous recommendations and processes is an Escrow company that acts as an intermediary between the parties involved. Settlement obligations vary widely due to specific contract language, local laws and customs so to be in the best hands is very important.
These strategic relationships become even more relevant as you will have the certainty that all those involved in the purchase process of your new home in the beautiful Costa Rica have the same goal: for you to come and enjoy your new place.
Buyer’s Agents don’t cost a penny!
That is right! When you are on the buying end of the deal, you don’t pay your real estate agent for their expertise, their end to end assistance or their deep local knowledge of the market and the buying process.
When purchasing your new property in Costa Rica, your real estate agent will be with you throughout the buying process and work always in your best interest from beginning to end. Their goal will always be to find you the best home for your wants and needs.
Payment of a real estate agent will come from the side of the seller in a property transaction so you don’t have to worry about hidden costs when it comes to acquiring the services of an agent and when signing on the bottom line at closing.
While buying a home is a big decision and it’s a major commitment, it is also a very exciting time. With that said, the home buying process can be complicated so to count on the knowledge and expert guidance of a real estate agent is the best way to ensure that it is as smooth and seamless as possible.
