The Willis Group Approach | Buying a Home
At Willis Group, we are experts in the home buying process. We begin with an initial consultation to help the buyer identify and obtain clarity around his or her real estate goals. With clarity of purpose, we become an effective team, alleviate unnecessary stress, and find success. We provide the buyer with comprehensive property evaluations, market expertise, access to new listings, powerful negotiating, and prompt service.

We hope you will allow us to demonstrate the difference of the Willis Group Team by choosing to contact us when you begin your home buying process.

No matter where you find the homes that attract your attention, we can help you purchase any home you find.
Most importantly, we can provide data on each home and negotiate any offers to ensure you get a good deal on your home. But, if you view a property with someone else, we cannot represent you. If you see a sign, drive by an open house, or even hear about a property, call us first. We will provide you with all the information necessary and ensure you are properly represented before viewing a property.

As your agent, how do we get paid?
Did you know that the listing agent pays our commission? That's right, our commission will not come out of your pocket. When a home is listed for sale by another real estate agent who represents the seller, the seller agrees to pay the listing agent a fee for selling the home. Let's take 6% for example which is a common amount. The listing agent takes that 6% and agrees to pay half of it to the buyer's agent. If the buyer does not have an agent representing them then the listing agent gets to keep the full 6% and the buyer has no one looking out for their best interest during the transaction. Can you see why it's so important and why it makes financial sense for a buyer to get a real estate agent to represent them? It's in your best interest and it's free!
