Battle Ground & Clark County Home Buyer Services

Shopping for a new home or property? Let us help you do it the easy way!

Have you called the listing agent on a home you drove past and loved, only to find it already had been sold or has a pending offer on it? Maybe you found a great looking property in the home book from that little stand outside your local market only to call and find out it too has already been spoken for. Then the listing agent emails you every home located in Clark County in your price range. Though you are only looking for 4 bedroom homes on acreage, you receive mainly homes in subdivisions.

We get together with you and get a complete understanding of just the kind of property you are searching for. We identify the available properties that meet your specifications, set appointments for previewing them, discuss all options in regards to writing the offer, schedule and review home inspections & appraisals, and handle all paperwork necessary all the way to the successful closing of your property purchase. As your buyers' agent we work for you exclusively & for FREE! We will be paid our commission in most cases by the listing agents broker. The following is a chart showing an example of this process. Visit HomebuyingAbout.com for more information on real estate commissions.

This is why a buyer is able to retain the services of a Real Estate agent at no cost to the buyer, or in other words “free”! The sellers of the property in most instances cover the cost of the marketing and the sales commission; as they are compensating the agents involved in the process for locating a suitable buyer for their home and bringing the transaction to a successful close.
