The Power of the Buying agent
Now the time might seem more prevalent than ever to use a buying agent; our Recoco Property Search property finders share their thoughts:
1. Accessibility: during these unprecedented times, our property search agents are still able to carry out viewings on your behalf. Perhaps you are thinking of a move from another country or county and are unable to access such areas very easily, we can view on your behalf and even carry out virtual tours or take further photos, saving you wasted trips and journeys.
2. Off market properties: not all properties hit the internet. In recent years 60% of Recoco property search agents’ purchases were off market and in 2019 we successfully bought eleven privately marketed properties on behalf of our clients.
3. Local contacts: not only do our property buying agents have great rapports with estate agents, we can also recommend a range of other property professionals including solicitors, surveyors, and contractors.
4. Local knowledge: our buying agents know the areas they cover like the back of their hand. With their expert advice they not only advise on what property may suit you and your family’s needs but also the lifestyle, schooling, and local amenities.
5. Timing: we are here to solely represent the buyer; we take the time to fully understand your requirements and to find the best properties to present to you. We often hear of properties that will be offered for sale prior to them hitting the open market, as well as those off market opportunities, making sure our clients are on the front foot and hear of options they may not have heard about, or quite so quickly, without our assistance.
6. Stress: we take the stress out of searching for your dream property. At Recoco (property search company) we provide a professional and discrete service, making your property search and purchase seamless.
7. Objective advise we are not here to ‘sell’ you a property, we represent you as the buyer therefore can offer an objective opinion on not only the property itself but also offering advise during the purchase process.
8. Privacy: we act on your behalf with discretion and are confidential at all times.
9. Wealth of knowledge: here at Recoco, our six agents are experts in their patches where they live and work. Areas covered include the South West, South Coast, Home Counties and London. Between all agents, we have 130 years’ experience.
10. A timely purchase… As part of our negotiations on your behalf we endeavour to ensure the sale concludes within timescales that work for you therefore allowing you to start your new life in your new home, in a timeframe that suits your circumstances.
