Phil Schaeffer Real Estate Agent
Let me thank you first and foremost for reading my profile. I have been in real estate for over 15 years and have experience in almost every twist and turn real estate can bring. I am a Florida native and have lived in Tampa Bay, Pinellas County, Hernando County and surrounding areas all of my life with the exception of 4 years where I was in the military and moved back to finish college at the University of South Florida.
I take pride in being an honest and a dependable real estate agent. I am passionate about real estate and that gives me an edge over most agents who do not care, or who do care but don't know what they are doing. Thank you for your time.
How to Get a Great Discount When Buying
Buying a home at a great price requires knowledge, strategy, and expert representation. We are here to get you the best deal available and to negotiate this on your behalf.
Ways to Save When Buying a Home:
- Choose your Agent Wisely:Hiring a great agent with the intentions to make offers for you to get you the discount you want is a great approach. We want to look at beautiful homes slightly outside of your budget and get them to come down to your price!
- Understand the Market:Market conditions determine the size of discounts you can expect. In any market you should expect to get a discount when approached correctly.
- Timing:Often getting a great discount has to do with timing. Here is a quick strategy: wait until the seller drops the price, give it 2 weeks to flush out all motivated buyers then go for the discount!
- Contributions:Often it might be in your best interest to keep money in your pocket. There are many ways to get discounts for example the seller could contribute $10,000 towards your closing cost, which will save you 10k in out of pocket cost.
- Consider Off Market Properties:We work with a multitude of sellers. These sellers will often work out a great deal for a buyer we works with saving them time, hassle and commissions!
