Finding your
dream home.
When you're searching for that home you love,
there are two ways you can go about it: the hard way and the easy
way.
Look through thousands of ads in papers, go
to hundreds of open-inspections, spend hours on the Internet - and
then, on top of all this, put up with the following…

- False Quotes.
In the industry it's called 'price range'. In reality, it's
'bait pricing'. You see a home advertised with an "estimated"
price. It looks great. You get your hopes up. Later you discover
you had no chance of buying at the price advertised. It was
a bait price. And so you start again. And then it happens
again. It's hard to buy with bait prices.
- False Advertising.
The home looks great in the ad. In reality, it's another story.
You soon learn the painful lesson of real estate advertising.
Low maintenance garden means a slab of cracked concrete the
size of a postage stamp. Close to transport means a busy road
so noisy it sounds like the buses are going through the lounge-room.
Four bedrooms means two bedrooms plus a sunroom and a closed-in
verandah where, at a pinch, you might squeeze in a single
camper bed. How often do you see a home which is better than
the advertisement described it? It's hard to buy with false
advertising.

- Auctions.
The agent says you have "a good chance". And so you spend
hundreds of dollars on inspection reports. You eagerly await the
big day only to discover that the first bid is thousands more than
you could ever pay. When you look shocked, the agent blames "the
market". It's hard to buy with auctions.
- Sorry, it's Sold.
Why is it that the homes you
really wanted, always seem to have just sold?
- Respect.
What's going on? You're a serious buyer and yet you can't get an
agent to take you seriously. You are treated like a looker when
all you want is some information to help you make the most important
financial decision of your life. It's hard to buy without respect
and courtesy.
- Finding an Agent.
Why is it so hard to speak to a real person? Why do so many
agents fail to return phone calls? Why do they make and break
appointments? It's hard to find a home when you can't even find
an agent.
- Listen to me!
It's probably the biggest complaint of buyers. Most agents don't
listen! You ask for three bedrooms; they show you two bedrooms.
You tell them your price and they show you homes you can't afford.
What's going on? It's hard to buy when an agent won't listen
to you. |

Despite all the hassles, the discourtesy
and the mucking around, you can find a home the hard way. It may
take weeks, even months, but provided you keep at it, one day you
will find the home you love.
And the relief!
You will be as glad to get away
from the real estate agents as you are to find a home. Thank goodness
you don't have to do it again for many years.
That's the hard way to buy a home. It's not impossible, just unpleasant.
Buying a home can be easy, simple and pleasurable.
All you have to do is find an agent who will take out the hard parts.
As a Jenman APPROVED agent,
our aim for all homebuyers is simple:
To help you find the home you love.
