National Buyers Agents Association Releases Guide on How to get Young Adults to Listen to their Parents about Buying a House

EVERGREEN, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- The National Buyers Agents Association just released a guide for parents and grandparents who want to advise younger people about using a buyers agent. The association often gets calls from older people who have become convinced that a buyers agent is critical for their family member's success in home buying, but don't know how to best communicate that to their child or grandchild. A discussion of the guide airs this Saturday December 11th on KHOW 630am at 8:00 am MST and repeats January 1st, 2022

The written summary of the guide may be found on the association's website at https://buyeragentsearch.com/national-buyers-agents-guide-for-parents-on-buying-a-house.

Studies show that older adults can play a very beneficial role in their child's success if there is a right connection between the two generations. The guide takes a close look at why young adults are resistant to advice, and how well-meaning elders can get their attention. Understandably, younger people want to make their own decisions. The approach must be one that intrigues them rather than lectures them on what to do.

A top way to get their attention is make sure they feel in control. They must feel that their parent or grandparent has a resource that could highly benefit them. Kathleen Chiras, the association manager says, "The younger generations want to know how a buyer's agent can save them substantial amounts of money or time. They also typically want an agent who is close to their own age. If those things are not immediately apparent, they are not interested."

Tom Coler, a broker working in Southern Florida says, ""Now more than ever, with inventory 80% below what it was last year, buyers need the protection of a buyer's agent".

The association recommends that all potential buyers get a free consultation with two to three buyer's agents who specialize in the buyer's area of interest. Most buyer's agents will work within an hour's drive of their home or main office.

With over 1.4 million licensed real estate agents in the US, the association only admits into membership those who have at least 3 years of experience and who have expertise in buyer agency. They must also be highly rated and reviewed. Members are accountable both to the buyer and to the association, and they agree to provide fiduciary agency services. Immediate access to a list of association members may be found at https://buyeragentsearch.com/find-a-buyers-agent/.

The association recently had a request from a parent, Wendy Smith, who wanted her first time home-buying daughter to consider using a Denver buyer's agent for her purchase of a million dollar property.

She could not get her daughter's attention until she said, "Hey Kara, you could save thousands of dollars! They can give you some choices of agents who are your age and who have great reviews". At that point Kara decided it was worth a call to the association to explore her options.

The association provides free access to agents and live staff to answer questions. Real estate agent members have at least 3 to 5 years of experience. Members are typically broker/owners or agents under the supervision of a highly experienced manager. Many have special credentials on the real estate buying side, including a designation endorsed by the National Association of Realtors(r) called "Accredited Buyer Representative".

Tools are provided at the association's website to evaluate the agent's designations, along with their education, experience, and negotiation skills. Many of the association members are accredited or exclusive buyer's agents. There are approximately 1400 top agents located in all 50 states.

Colorado Buyers Association Publishes an Essential Guide for Home Buyers

EVERGREEN, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Colorado Exclusive Buyer Agent Association (CEBAA) just released a free guide in collaboration with the national association that includes five essential homebuying checklists for buyers and sellers who intend to purchase property in the United States. The guide will be discussed by CEBAA's association manager, Katheen Chiras, at a guest appearance on the Consumers Real Estate radio program this Saturday November 6, 2021. The show airs between 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. on KHOW630.

The guide includes the following checklists that help home buyers assess: 1) reasons for buying a home 2) support networks 3) advantages of different types of property 4) homebuyer needs verses wants and 5) agent representation.

The guide may be found at: https://buyeragentsearch.com/buyers-agents-home-buying-checklists/.

Interested parties may visit https://homebuyerscolorado.org/find-buyers-agent to see the many resources offered to buyers hoping to purchase in Colorado.

The guide is a handy resource for first-time homebuyers, who are struggling to find the most efficient way to navigate the current strong seller's market in Colorado and elsewhere. According to the weekly radio show, home prices have remained steady over the past few weeks, after many months of escalating prices. The median price of a single-family home in Denver is over $600,000 and the median price in Colorado Springs at typically about $100,000 to $150,000 less The number of houses that buyers and their agents are putting under contract was consistent from the first of August to the end of July.

Some people need to sell in order to buy, so the guide also includes effective ways of interviewing both buyer agents and seller agents. CEBAA has an inquiry form which allows potential home buyers to have immediate access to a list of qualified exclusive and accredited buyer agents. The markets analyzed include Colorado Springs and Denver.

The guide makes it apparent that one of the most important attributes of a buyer's agent is negotiation skills, and for seller's agents the main attribute is marketing skills. It is recommended that a real estate agent have at least 3 to 5 years of experience to be qualified. Additionally, both buyers and sellers also may wish to assess the agent's designations, education, experience, and skills.

The guide also highlights the best timeline to buy or sell real estate. Statistically, May and June are the times that most homes are getting under contract. However, December is an excellent month for buying because in Colorado sellers are typically more willing to negotiate on price in this cold winter month. On the other hand, the guide also points out the fact that every home buyer and seller should only buy and sell when it is the right time for them.

The website posts the experience of a recent home buyer who used a CEBAA agent: "He took the extra time, the extra work, to help us find the 100% perfect house. We have a better house with a better neighborhood and better schools."

The Colorado association has agent members who do not list property, called exclusive buyer agents. The association also has affiliated fiduciary agents who are vetted and reviewed by the association.

There are also many home buying or selling tips found on its website, and as well as linked access to the National Buyers Agent Association website located at https://BuyerAgentSearch.com/.
