In Hungary 99% of agents represent exclusively the sellers and perform their activities on their behalf. Acting as a buyer’s agent can be more complex and more complicated for lots of agents while many buyers would like to avoid further expenses in the purchase process. But paying the fee of a buyer’s agent is really an extra cost or will it save money for the buyer at the end of the day?
What can I help you when you are buying an apartment in Budapest? The first step of our cooperation starts with the understanding of your needs. Once I fully understand what kind of an apartment you look for and for what purpose, I can collect suitable offers for you through VARIOUS CHANNELS and CONNECTIONS. At the same time, I am happy to receive offers you have found on the Internet to find out more HIDDEN DETAILS. Briefly, I can navigate you through the chaos of offers.
In some cases at this stage of the search it turns out that the available budget might be not enough to meet all your requirements or new prefences come to light and the research has to be fine-tuned accordingly. During this very exciting process, I get in contact with partner agents, seller’s agents, sellers, building managers, property managers or the municipality if needed. So much TIME and HASSLE is SAVED for you which needs lots of energy, patience and communication skills.
Due to my 20 years of experience on the Budapest property market, I can select much easier which apartment offers better value due to its location, type of building, amount of light or traffic noise, layout etc. Once we have the best offers selected, I arrange the viewing of the properties. Video tours are also possible if you can not be in Budapest in person.
SELECTING THE BEST VALUE PROPERTY is one of the biggest advantage of using the help of a professional realtor which will turn into a much bigger profit with time for the buyer. Sometimes buyers’ attention are distracted by minor features which do not have long-time value, while a professional can see more objectively what is worth what.
Another cost decreasing effect of having a dedicated buyer’s agent is to REACH THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE. In my experience, negotiation is so much easier for an outsider, for an independent person than for the involved parties, like the buyers.
Once the desired apartment is found, I will GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION and legal process of a real estate purchase. I will prepare the written purchase offer to bind the parties with the agreed terms till your lawyer drafts the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As my husband is a lawyer, I am pleased to introduce you to him, but you are free to use the services of any other lawyer you know. If you can not be present at the contract signing, I can act as your authorized person provided there is a proper PoA in place. I will help you also during the HANDING OVER of the apartment with the preparation of the necessary handing over documents including the contracts of the certain utility provider companies.
All in all with my help you can expect to find the desired apartment in Budapest with spending so much less energy and time. While achieving a lower purchase price you will end up with a BETTER OUTCOME in terms of long-term property value, expected capital appreciation and resales value in the future.
