Info for Buyers
Thinking about buying a home?
Whether it is your first home or your fourth, consider the following:
As a buyer, you don't pay for a REALTOR®'s commission--the seller does. So it makes sense to use a real estate agent who will do the legwork for you. When you use Dustin, he will:
- Perform detailed searches to make sure you only look at houses that fit your needs and budget
- Negotiate the terms of the sale
- Determine comparable home prices
- Negotiate the best price
- Fill out and explain all paperwork
- Help determine what you can afford and arrange financing
- Communicate with you frequently about the status of your search or offer
As a REALTOR® licensed in Utah County, Dustin can show you any homes along the Wasatch Front that are listed on the Multiple Listing Service. If you are looking for a home outside of Utah, contact Dustin for help finding an agent you can trust who will fit your needs.
Before buying a home, it is very important to take a careful look at your finances to plan for the expenses associated with buying a home and deciding what you can afford in a mortgage payment. When you purchase a home you will need to pay some earnest money with your offer to show the seller you are serious about buying their home. You may also need to be prepared to make a down payment as well as some closing costs, depending on the type of mortgage you decide to use. Contact Dustin for information about how to prepare financially to buy a home. The following are pdf brochures containing information about a variety of mortgage types.
