A purchasing agent plays a crucial role in the purchasing process of a home
Here are the steps a buyer’s agent typically follows:
Interview:
The purchasing agent starts with an intake interview with the buyer. Here the wishes and requirements are discussed, as well as the budget and other relevant factors.
Search:
Based on the information from the intake interview, the purchasing agent starts the search for suitable homes. This can come from both the existing offering and its network.
Viewings:
The purchasing agent plans and supervises viewings of potential homes. He assesses the condition of the home and can advise on any defects.
Research:
The real estate agent conducts research into the legal and construction aspects of the home. For example, he looks at the zoning plan, checks the structural condition and examines the VvE (Owners’ Association) documents.
Negotiations:
Based on his experience and market knowledge, the purchasing agent negotiates the price and conditions on behalf of the buyer. The goal is to get the best deal possible.
Purchase agreement:
After successful negotiations, the purchasing agent draws up the purchase agreement or carefully reviews it if it has been drawn up by the selling party. He ensures that all relevant clauses are included.
Legal settlement:
The purchasing agent supervises the process up to the notarial transfer. He checks all legal aspects and ensures that all conditions are met.
Notarial transfer:
On the day of the notarial transfer, the purchasing agent accompanies the buyer in signing the deeds and handing over the keys.
Aftercare:
Some purchasing agents also offer aftercare. This may include advising on furnishings, finding contractors, and other matters involved in the purchase.
The goal of the purchasing agent is to represent the buyer’s interests and ensure that the purchasing process runs smoothly.
What does a purchasing agent help with?
A purchasing agent offers professional guidance and advice during the process of buying a house. Here are some ways a buyer’s agent can help:

Construction research:
The estate agent can conduct legal and construction research into the home, check for any legal obstacles and inform you about possible risks.
Negotiations:
One of the most important roles of a purchasing agent is to conduct negotiations on your behalf. They have experience in negotiating and can try to get the best price and terms for you.
Drafting or assessing a purchase agreement:
The purchasing agent can help you draw up or review the purchase agreement and ensure that all relevant clauses and conditions are included.
Mediation with other parties:
The broker can act as an intermediary between you and the selling party, the notary, and other parties involved.
Financial advice:
