Exclusive Buyers Representation -
An Advantage To Our Buyers and Required by Law as of July 1, 2024.
Our job is to help you buy the home you want at a fair price and fair terms.
To begin our Client relationship, we'll meet at our office and go through some questions and get to know each other better. Prior to viewing properties we are required to have all buyers sign an Exclusive Buyer Representation Agency form that allows me to represent you in your purchase. This form explains who is represented and how the brokerage fee is paid. This link goes to more details and information. My preapproved clients that I have personally met with and who have signed their Buyer's Exclusive Representation Form take priority in my day. These clients are prepared by having their banking done, and meeting to discuss what the criteria is for the home they are looking to purchase.
We put our clients first. We do that by building a strong trust relationship with you, researching the market, negotiating offers and terms, and putting you ahead of other buyers looking for the same properties. Helping people to buy or sell is what a real estate brokerage does; where Weaver LLC, Realtors differs from the competition is in the details. Our strategy is to develop a plan with you to achieve your goals. Buying or selling a home is a lot of work for everyone, and it is best done with clear, realistic goals, constant communication, and input from all parties.
First Things First - We discuss your needs and wants; we help you determine your time frame and priorities. If you are not already pre-approved for a mortgage, we help you do that because it must be done to enable you to compete against other buyers before you look at homes. Once the basics are established, we begin to look at homes. We show all properties listed for sale as members of the MLS, regardless of the listing brokerage or agent.
Timing is of the essence here, especially in the Storm Lake, Alta, and Newell markets; local inventory has been low for the last 4 years (meaning a Seller's Market) and is still dropping. That means when we hear about a listing, even if it is not on the Multiple Listing Service yet, it is important to get you in as soon as possible to give you the best opportunity to make a successful offer. If a property is priced correctly and in good condition, it usually has an accepted offer within 3-10 days in our market, depending on the time of year (fewer people want to move in the winter, but some good buys can be had then).
Once we find a property you want to offer on, we research to establish where that property should sell in the current market. Information is power, especially in real estate, and our research has translated into thousands of dollars saved by buyers and sellers alike. With the value range established for the property, we develop a strategy to offer and determine the terms. All this is done in a matter of hours. It is a little like a game of chess, and the ability to negotiate is VERY important. My Certified Negotiation Expert training is another advantage. Once an offer is presented that negotiation training will ensure the best terms.
We all have a part to do as an Exclusive Buyer Client - getting your finances in place, determining your needs and wants, and your budget is top priorities. My top priorities are finding the properties that fit your criteria, getting you into those properties very quickly, researching the current market value, and helping you make a good offer. Once that offer is made, my part becomes a negotiator and adviser to get the job done and the house under contract for you.
We prefer to work with our Buyer Clients exclusively with a Buyer Agency Agreement, and not just as customers due to the level of service we provide.
We commit to you that as an exclusive Buyer Client and not just a buyer customer, we will:
1) Put your needs ahead of non-preapproved buyer customers - we commit to working with you
2) Contact you the same day a property lists that fits your criteria, and develop an automated search that will also
notify you of all new listings that fit your criteria and any existing listings that fit your criteria that have a
reduction in price
3) Get you into any property that does not have an accepted offer within 1 business day or as soon as you can
4) Assist you in getting the best purchase agreement terms
As an Exclusive Buyer Client, you Commit to:
1) Get Pre-approved for a mortgage and have the bank send a pre-approval letter to Weaver LLC, Realtors
2) Meet with us to establish your criteria and priorities in housing and sign an Exclusive Buyer's Agency
3) Commit to work with Weaver LLC, Realtors exclusively as an Exclusive Buyer Client and not with another agent or

fee to Weaver LLC, Realtors
