Buyer’s agents are a huge asset to your home buying experience. They make your search, negotiation, and final transaction more professional and less stressful, especially if you’ve never previously bought a home. Check out eight ways your buyer’s agent is indispensable:
Time
Great buyer’s agents spend loads of time online, searching for listings that match your requirements. They spend time on the phone, contacting other agents to get all the details. Then, they spend time previewing houses before you ever see them – all in an effort to save YOUR time.
Money

With temperatures near 100°F almost every day for the last week, it’s good to know the best places in your neighborhood to cool off. A bonus: these are all low-cost or FREE!
Lake Lanier Parks
Maybe the best way to cool off is to take a dip in Lake Lanier’s refreshing waters. With over 50 corps, state, county, and city parks along its 680-mile shoreline, there is a place on Lake Lanier for everyone. Our favorite in Gwinnett is Buford Dam Park, where car admission is just $4 at the gate or $1 for pedestrians. This park has a beach with a designated swim area, picnic tables, volleyball and basketball courts, playgrounds, and covered pavilions. All you need is a beach towel and a cold beverage.

With summer officially here, Metro Atlanta home sales are continuing to heat up. With inventory still low, new mortgage programs available, and plenty of buyers in the market, summer might be the best time to list your house this year. While other sellers wait for the spring market, you can gain the advantage with a summer listing.
Photography
With long, sunny days there is no reason not to let the natural light shine in listing photos. Summer photos are brilliant with light, which will grab buyers’ attention in those online listing services where every buyer starts their home search. Invest in professional photography to use the bright summer light to your best advantage.
Easier to Move
It’s no fun to move in sub-zero temperatures or in
