Why Use a Buyer’s Agent?

Many buyers don’t realize that the listing agent works for the seller — not the buyer. Without a dedicated buyer’s agent, you could miss out on expert negotiation, unbiased advice, and full market insight.

With Tonya as your representative, you’ll benefit from:

FAQs – Buyer Representation

  • How do I get started as a homebuyer?

    The first step is a short consultation to understand your goals and timeline. From there, Tonya helps you get pre-approved and begin the search.

  • What if I’m buying from out of town?

    Tonya offers remote support, including virtual showings, electronic contracts, and flexible communication to assist relocation buyers.

  • How much does it cost to work with a buyer’s agent?

    In most cases, the seller pays the buyer agent’s commission — meaning Tonya’s services come at no cost to you.

  • Do I need a pre-approval to start looking at homes?

    Pre-approval is strongly recommended. It helps you understand your budget and makes your offer more competitive.

  • Can I buy a home without selling mine first?

    That depends on your finances and goals. Tonya can help you evaluate options, including contingent offers, bridge loans, and timing strategies.
