Buyer’s agent Tristan Marino represents people buying pre-owned homes in Aledo, Walsh and west Fort Worth. She is an Accredited Buyer’s Representative and a Real Estate Negotiation Expert. Most Aledo homes are selling under list right now, so the price and terms you negotiate matter.
What a buyer’s agent does for you here
Aledo resale homes compete with new builds a few miles away, where builders are offering rate buydowns. Tristan uses that when she sets your offer:
- Before you shop, get a lender pre-approval and a monthly payment that includes the real tax rate for each area. Many older neighborhoods carry no PID, and new ones often do (rates).
- The search covers homes that fit your list, including established neighborhoods and acreage that don’t always show up in a quick search.
- Your offer is set from recent comparable sales, days on market, and what a builder nearby would give you instead.
- The inspection checks foundation, roof and HVAC age, plus septic and well on acreage. What it finds goes back into the negotiation.
- Tristan keeps the appraisal, title, survey and final walk-through on schedule through closing.
Pre-owned or new?
A pre-owned home usually has mature trees and room to negotiate, and it can close in 30 to 45 days. A new home comes with a warranty and builder incentives. If you’re weighing both, Tristan also works as a new construction agent, and the pre-owned guide compares the two side by side.
