Buying in Lantana is different from buying anywhere else: it’s a master-planned community with golf, trails, pools, HOAs, and micro-location nuances that swing value and livability.The right agent should answer pointed questions before you ever write an offer.Use this checklist to interview any buyer’s agent—then compare answers side by side.


Are You a REALTOR®?

Don’t stop at “yes.” Ask how that elevates your purchase.

  • Code of Ethics, fiduciary duties (loyalty, confidentiality, disclosure)

  • Local board membership and compliant contracts

  • Advanced training/designations beyond a basic license


What Services Do You Offer?

Door-opening isn’t enough in Lantana.

  • Needs analysis (schools, commute, amenities, resale lens)

  • Micro-market pricing and offer architecture

  • In-person + live video showings (if you’re remote)

  • Negotiation on price, terms, repairs, credits, and rate buydowns

  • Contract-to-close project management with deadline control


How Well Do You Know the Lantana Market?

Master-planned doesn’t mean uniform.

  • Understanding of neighborhood pods and amenity proximity (pools, trails, golf club)

  • Price drivers: lot orientation/sun, privacy, greenbelt adjacency, school overlays

  • Red flags: drainage paths, easements, noise corridors, future road plans

  • Seasonality and where leverage exists


Do You Have Experience with Buyers in My Situation in Lantana?

Your scenario dictates the playbook.

  • First-time, relocation, luxury, new construction, 55+, VA/FHA, or multi-gen

  • Recent wins in your price band and Lantana section type

  • Appraisal/inspection tactics for roofs, foundations, pools, and HVAC

  • Temporary housing or lease-back strategies for timing


Can You Explain Your Lantana Property Search Approach?

Great agents hunt—MLS watchers lose.

  • MLS + private networks, coming-soon, builder inventory, off-market leads

  • Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, refined weekly

  • Drive-by + sun-path checks before showings

  • Micro-location scoring: privacy, noise, yard usability, trail/golf access

  • Weekly pipeline updates with top 3 targets and next actions


What’s Included in Our Buyer Agreement?

No surprises—put it in writing.

  • Scope of services and termination terms

  • Response SLAs and showing cadence

  • Exclusivity and duration

  • Intermediary/dual-representation rules

  • Any service or referral fees—disclosed up front


How Long Will We Work Together?

Set expectations—and checkpoints.

  • Typical search timelines for your price range and needs

  • Weekly strategy calls + on-demand showings

  • Decision gates: buy now, pause, or pivot as data shifts

  • What changes if rates or inventory move during your search


How Do You Get Paid?

Transparent compensation = cleaner negotiations.

  • How buyer-agent compensation appears on your offer

  • If seller/MLS offers partial or no buyer comp: options for credits/price changes/lender funds

  • Exactly what (if anything) you might owe—and when


Can You Recommend Service Providers?

You need a ready bench to move fast.

  • Lenders (local underwriters + rate-buydown modeling)

  • Inspectors (general + roof, foundation, pool, HVAC)

  • Insurance pros (hail/wind savvy), movers, painters, flooring, low-voltage

I provide 2–3 options per trade with no kickbacks.


Can I Speak with Your Previous Clients?

Ask for relevant, recent references—and call them.

  • Same price band and similar Lantana pocket

  • How problems were handled (repairs, appraisal gaps, timelines)

  • Post-closing vendor help and responsiveness


Wrapping Up Your Search for the Perfect Lantana Buyer’s Agent

Choose the agent who brings data, discipline, and negotiation—not just a Supra key. The right pro will:

  • Build a Lantana-specific plan (schools, HOA/amenities, trail/golf access, commute)

  • Underwrite the total monthly (taxes, HOA, insurance, utilities), not just price

  • Anticipate appraisal/inspection traps and craft terms that win without overpaying

  • Orchestrate vendors and deadlines so closing is clean—and move-in is faster
