What makes a great buyer’s agent

Hyperlocal market knowledge

Look for an agent who knows HOA rules, CDD fees, taxes, commute patterns, school zoning, builder reputations, and insurance realities. Example: which Kissimmee communities restrict short term rentals, which Poinciana sections have tighter HOA compliance, and which Davenport builders are offering incentives this month.

HOA/CDD rules that affect your monthly payment and lifestyle
Insurance and tax considerations that change your true cost
Commutes to Disney, Lake Nona, Orlando, and I-4 corridors
Builder history, warranty service, and incentive cycles

Ask Bernard for a 3-community brief tailored to you.

Negotiation & offer structure

Winning offers are crafted, not just priced. Your agent should explain appraisal protections, inspection timelines, seller credits, and rate buydowns. The right structure can lower cash to close and your monthly payment without risking the deal.

Credits for buydowns, closing costs, and repairs
Appraisal/inspection strategies that protect you while staying seller-friendly
Offer timing and communication that builds trust with the listing side

Micro case study: Jessica in Poinciana

Setup: Jessica rented in Poinciana and wanted a 3-bedroom near schools. Budget capped monthly payment and cash was limited.

Challenge: Competitive offers pushed prices up. She needed lower cash to close with a comfortable payment.

Outcome: Jessica closed with about $2,000 out of pocket. The payment fit her budget and she moved in on her timeline.

Common objections, calm reframes

I need perfect credit. Many programs work across scores. Start with a payment-first plan and improve as you go.
I should wait for rates. Timing the market is risky. Use buydowns and credits now; revisit refi later.
I will call the listing agent. Listing agents represent the seller. You deserve dedicated advocacy.
I do not have enough savings. Assistance, seller credits, and builder incentives can reduce cash to close.
Zillow is enough. Browsing helps, but it will not structure terms or negotiate for you.
I do not want pressure. Zero-pressure consult with clear options and time to decide.
