Buying Your Home...Location, Location, Location? It's About Much More - Outstanding Buyer Representation, Accurate Data, Market Insight, Full Market Access...and a Sound Purchasing Strategy!
ADVANTAGE REALTORS...it's not just our name...it's a FACT!
What do we do that's so different...why can you TRUST us more than any other Buyer Agent?
The Wise Buyer Program and Cash Rewards Program!
We have an available program called the *Wise Buyer ProgramÔ. Understand, not just any agent can offer this outstanding program - including our own agents. This program not only exceeds the services offered by any other Atlanta area agent/realtor from any other firm...it exceeds the services even expected of realtors! For the client who demands more than what the typical agent offers, the Wise Buyer ProgramÔ combines an experienced licensed real estate professional AND an experienced ICC Code Certified Building Inspection Expert to give you the best possible buyer representation, protection, efficiency, and counsel available! In this program, we don't just show you homes, and help you make offers...we perform every service of a top notch real estate professional, AND we perform a complimentary Pre-Purchase Analysis of the structure and major cost systems of every home of interest to our buyer clients!
The pre-purchase analysis serves two important roles - it acts as a sorting system quickly identifying the best properties available - homes that are safe and sound to consider. Second, it instantly identifies homes with serious defects and or poorly built, sub par construction so you can isolate and avoid wasting time and money on such properties! The net result is Wise Buyer Clients have an opportunity to see the Best Homes Available before most other buyers and agents even know they exist. One of the advantages of our ability to get our clients to the best homes first - while the properties are still available - our clients have the most choices! By the time other buyers finally sort through available homes with an ordinary agent, they often learn the best homes are already sold. Housing crisis or no, buyer or seller market, it doesn't matter - the best homes always sell the fastest!
Altogether, unmatched due-diligence to assist, inform, protect, and council our Buyer clients - to make our clients the Wisest Buyers in the marketplace! You will know if the home (or builder) should be avoided, and you will know the right price to offer based on any homes existing conditions. Perhaps, the most important thing, you know you can TRUST any agent qualified to offer this program! Why? Think about it. Any agent who willingly does this amount of extra work and due-diligence and then is willing to actually advise a client to NOT TO BUY certain homes (or go with a certain builder) when conditions warrant that call, is clearly and without question acting in YOUR best interests and deserves your utmost trust! While other agents would like you to get to the closing table as fast as possible, an agent offering this program wants you to make an informed and sound investment decision - before you go to closing! Another facet of the Wise Buyer Program, we are available to answer any question and counsel clients regarding the adequacy of proposed or executed repairs, and we verify the repair of defects are done correctly for our clients. For buyers building a home, or who want to buy a home under construction, we monitor the construction of the home at any stage from the ground up, and act as your technical consultant on problem resolution issues and unforeseen alteration issues with the home to help assure the builder does (or did) what they should - so you get the home you should!
*This program is at no extra cost to our clients, has saved our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars and is invaluable - but what is it actually worth just in dollars? If you tried to arrange this on your own and assuming you could even find two such experts with as much experience and the willingness to interface smoothly and work together for you, it would cost on average a minimum of $6000 to well past $10,000 depending on services rendered just for an ICC Certified Construction Inspection Expert to tag along with you and your agent and be at your beck and call!
The Wise Buyer Program - There is simply no better way to buy a home!Ô
The new Cash Rewards Program - Buy and close on any home with us acting as your Buyer Broker, no matter who the listing agent or builder is, and get up to a $10,000 Cash Reward!
Broker Robert Whitfield Presents $10,000 Cash Rewards To Client!
*Conditions apply, Broker is the sole determinant of the amount of Cash Reward, the Cash Reward Program may be withdrawn at any time without notice.
Why Have A Buyers Representative? (for new, uninformed, and/or first-time buyers)
When you consider the sheer amount of hard work and time involved, not to mention the cost, complexity, and risks involved in locating and buying your home, the advantage of expert market insight, guidance, and counsel becomes quite compelling! However, when you also consider that a Buyer's Agent is absolutely free, it becomes very difficult if not impossible to come up with any compelling reason or justification for a buyer to choose not to be represented!
Your home purchase is most likely the largest single financial investment you will ever make, and it involves many complex issues - decisions that go well beyond simply choosing which home you like.
Every local real estate market has its own trends and opportunities and these can vary greatly, even from one neighborhood to the next. Our agents have expert knowledge and insight into all Atlanta area housing markets, insider access to accurate home sale prices and other market, all of which combine to provide an invaluable resource to our buyer clients. It is our job to guide you to the best opportunities, and out of traps.
With an expert Buyer Representative from Advantage Realtors, you will have full access to all homes available in the Atlanta market. Our professional resources and Georgia real estate affiliations allow us access to homes that consumers can't access from any website - we often have knowledge of homes not even listed for sale yet. You will have 24 hour access to Advantage Realtors listings and those of the entire FMLS database via the internet - you can have a "virtual tour" of any home of interest.
Your Buyer Representative has the resources and expertise to help you efficiently locate great homes in the best neighborhoods. Once you identify homes of interest, your agent can quickly set up a showing appointment at your convenience and provide you access into any home you wish to see.
What Happens Once You Find The Right Home?
It's one thing to find a home - that's really the easy part, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. This is where the important work really begins - a mistake here or something left to chance can greatly affect your future life in your home, and even your finances for years to come. That's where the experience and training of your Buyers Representative, a professional who has done many transactions under all sorts of conditions, can make all the difference in helping you to secure a sound and stress free home purchase at the best price and terms.
Here are just a few of the many points that must be accurately assessed and addressed by buyers:
What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high - or is it a bargain that you should act very quickly on? Does the home have good long term investment potential? Even more important are the short term prospects - if you move in only a few years are there considerations that might make the home hard to sell when you need to move? What are the clauses in a purchase and sale agreement to look out for as the buyer - clauses that may leave you or your assets at risk? What are the important stipulations - and how must they be worded to be legal, protect your interest, and yet still be acceptable to most sellers?
These issues and many others can be of vital importance to you as the buyer - that's where is pays to have experienced and knowledgeable Buyer Representation to advise and counsel you on how to level the playing field, get the best price and terms, and protect your interests! The seller or builder has their expert representation - as the buyer spending considerable money, you deserve no less.

Buyer Agency FAQ'sFrequently Asked Questions
10. I already found the house I want to buy - do I still need a Buyers Agent? Absolutely! Finding a house is only one part of the process - there is still much more work and a lot of details to assure a sound purchase. Unless you know the housing market, how to locate and adjust accurate market "sold comps" to arrive at the best price, how to draft and adhere to real estate contracts and amendments, and how to protect your interests and avoid subjecting yourself to legal action as well as an experienced Buyers Agent - our answer is YES! Leaving something to chance, or a mistake made at any point of your transaction can have lasting financial and emotional consequences. There is no reason to go through the risks and hassles alone when the services of your Buyers Agent are free! Our broker coined the following analogy, which sums up the question of "trying to be your own broker" quite well:
Unfortunately, there are people who assume that buying a home is no more complicated than buying a car - that is far from the reality. The more one becomes aware of how complex real estate matters really are, and the potential for problems that require more knowledge and experience than most homebuyers have, the more profound this phrase becomes! How a real estate transaction is handled can greatly affect your happiness and finances for years to come.
