Buying your first home in Sherman, TX? A buyer’s agent isn’t just helpful—they’re essential to protect your money, time, and future. From finding the right home to closing the deal, a buyer’s agent is your guide through every step of the home buying process. This guide breaks down exactly what I do as your Sherman buyer’s agent—and why it can save you from expensive mistakes, delays, or regrets.


What Is a Buyer’s Agent?

A buyer’s agent is a licensed real estate professional who represents only the buyer’s interests in a transaction.Unlike the listing agent (who works for the seller), a buyer’s agent works exclusively for you.

“First-time buyers often don’t realize how complex buying a home can be—until they’re halfway through. I make sure you’re never left guessing.” — Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI

What I Do for First-Time Buyers in Sherman


🔹 1. Explain the Entire Buying Process

  • What’s required to get pre-approved

  • The difference between new construction and resale

  • What inspections, appraisals, and title work mean

  • What closing costs and escrow are

First-time buyers get overwhelmed. I break it all down and guide you from pre-approval to move-in.


🔹 2. Help You Choose the Right Area in Sherman

Sherman offers a mix of:

  • Affordable new construction communities

  • Acreage properties with room to grow

  • Proximity to schools, TI’s new campus, and Lake Texoma

I help you explore what fits your budget, commute, and lifestyle.


🔹 3. Set Up Property Tours (Virtual or In-Person)

  • Show homes that match your goals, not just what's on the MLS

  • Explain the pros and cons of each home

  • Set up virtual tours if you’re relocating from out of town


🔹 4. Run the Numbers (So You Don’t Overpay)

  • Perform CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to make sure you don’t offer too much

  • Explain tax rates, HOA fees, and resale value

  • Help you understand down payment options, grants, and closing costs


🔹 5. Write and Negotiate the Offer

I draft the purchase contract and negotiate on your behalf:

  • Price

  • Closing date

  • Repairs or seller credits

  • Home warranty and appliances

📎 I use advanced training from my CRS and GRI designations to give you a strong position in negotiations.Learn more:https://www.nitinguptadfw.com/dallas-realtor-designations


🔹 6. Recommend Trusted Professionals

I connect you with reliable:

  • Mortgage lenders

  • Home inspectors

  • Title companies

  • Insurance providers

All of whom specialize in working with first-time buyers in Sherman.


🔹 7. Guide You Through Inspections and Closing

  • Help interpret the inspection report

  • Negotiate repairs or credits

  • Track all deadlines (loan, appraisal, option period)

  • Prepare for final walk-through and closing day


First-Time Buyer Stats You Should Know

  • 85% of first-time buyers say their agent helped them avoid costly mistakes

  • Homes in Sherman now average just 18 days on market for well-priced properties

  • Over 40% of buyers in Grayson County are purchasing for the first time

  • Most new construction buyers don’t realize the builder’s agent works for the builder—not for you


It Costs You Nothing to Use a Buyer’s Agent

In Texas, the seller pays your buyer agent’s commission. That means you get full support and protection at no cost to you.
