Why Work with a Buyer’s Agent?
Purchasing real estate—especially in competitive markets or via auction—can be complex. With Kenton Patrick as your buyer’s agent, you gain:
- Dedicated Advocacy — We represent your best interests, not the seller’s.
- Market Insight — Deep knowledge of Colorado’s neighborhoods, trends, comps, and auction behavior.
- Access to All Opportunities — Not just MLS listings, but also upcoming auction sales and off-market deals.
- Streamlined Strategy — Whether you’re buying traditionally or bidding at auction, we craft the best approach for your goals.
- Strong Negotiation — We ensure you don’t overpay and protect you from unfavorable terms.
- Risk Mitigation — Guidance during inspections, title review, contract terms, and legal issues.
In Colorado, it’s common and often recommended to use a written buyer representation agreement to clarify roles, responsibilities, and compensation upfront. Doing so gives you clarity and confidence. (See pros/cons of these agreements in Colorado markets.) Prevu
What We Offer Buyers
1. Property Search & Opportunity Identification
- We find and filter properties that meet your criteria across MLS, private listings, and auctions.
- For auctions, we alert you to upcoming events, review property catalogs, disclosures, and help you decide whether it’s a good fit to bid.
2. Comparative Market Analysis & Valuation
- Before you bid or make an offer, we assess comparable sales and market trends to advise you on offer ranges.
- In auctions, we help define smart bid limits and thresholds, to avoid overbidding emotionally.
3. Auction & Bidding Strategy
- We help you understand all auction terms (reserve, buyer’s premium, “as-is,” closing window) so there are no surprises.
- We watch the bidding landscape in real time and advise when to increment, when to hold back, and when to push.
- If necessary, we act as your proxy or co-bidder (subject to rules) to help you stay competitive.
4. Offer Negotiation & Contract Support
- For traditional listings: Write and structure offers to maximize your advantage (including contingencies, inspection periods, financing terms).
- For auction wins: Ensure full understanding of the binding Purchase & Sale contract, closing terms, and deposit obligations.
5. Due Diligence & Inspections
- Prior to bidding or offering, we coordinate inspections, review disclosures, and alert you to risks.
- We monitor title searches, survey reports, HOA documentation, and ensure you get what you expect.
