*From A Step by Step Guide to Home Buying and Home Selling (Sage Title Group):
"The Buyer’s Agent will meet with the buyer to establish a wish list of characteristics of the ideal home: How much can the buyer afford to spend? Where does the buyer wish to live? How many bed- rooms and bathrooms does the buyer want? What style of home is desired? What schools, stores, businesses, houses of worship, etc., are in the immediate area? Once these guidelines are established, the Buyer’s Agent will research the MLS listings and pre- pare a list of homes currently on the market that meet the buyer’s needs. From that search, the buyer will select certain properties to visit, and the Buyer’s Agent will work with the Listing Agent to arrange the “showing” of the residences.
Once the buyer chooses a home, he or she submits a contract offer to the seller for consideration. The services of the Realtor® then become critical. A Realtor® can easily access up-to-date contract forms. In addition, many counties have their own laws requiring the use of particular, localized forms, and the Realtor® will have access to these forms as well.
Once a contract offer is prepared and signed by the buyer, it is submitted to the seller for consideration. The seller may accept, reject, or make a counter-proposal. The Buyer’s Agent will assist throughout the negotiation process and provide valuable insight and advice at each stage.
Once the parties agree on the contract terms and the contract has been fully signed and “ratified,” the post-contract, or settlement process, begins. Realtors are trained to guide the parties through this complicated part of the transaction."
