Don't you deserve the best Licensed
Professional in your corner to work to protect your interests in a
Real Estate Transaction - to save you money??
Here are some valuable
information to help you make some critical decisions when choosing a
REALTORŪ.
Q: Won't I get a "Better Deal" if I buy directly from the listing
agent?
A: NO. Remember, the Listing Agent owes his or her loyalty to the
seller and cannot legally help you get a better deal!! Some buyers
believe that the listing agent should be willing to take a lower
commission because he or she does no have to share with another
agent. Customers fail to consider that the listing agent has twice
the amount of work if there is not another agent available to help
with the transaction. Therefore the listing agent may not be willing
to give up commission.

Q: What other differences can I expect from a Buyer's Agent?
A: When you employ a Buyer's Agent, the entire home finding process
should change. Rather that trying to "Sell you" on the good points of
the properties you are looking at, a Buyer's Agent will help you
discover all the "Negatives of the Home". The Buyers Agent works for
you.
The buyer's agent should also prepare a contract that offers the
buyer better terms and conditions, suspends dates for settlement, and
moving settlement in favor of the buyer.
The Buyer's Agent will also look more diligently for a home to meet
your needs. They will also include additional home finding
possibilities for you, such as For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) properties,
and properties not yet on the market.
The Buyer's Agent will protect your interests should any problem
arise during home inspections and will negotiate in your best
interests any time there is a need to reopen contract negotiations.
Bottom line... The Buyer's Agent works for you. You owe no money
to the Buyers Agent, you only owe your trust and time... You will love
the results. Contact me
today to work for you... As your Buyer's Agent!
Q: Can the agent that lists my home also be my Buyer Agent?
A: Some Buyer Agents work with both buyers and sellers. They usually
do not list homes and will normally refer you to an agent to help you
market your home. Be certain, however, that if the same agent that
lists your home and helps you find another, ensure you have signed the
proper agency agreement with the agent, and that you have checked to
make sure that the agent is proficient in handling both.
Q: The last time I bought a home I thought my agent really
looked out for me. Why would anything be different today?
A: In the past, Agents believed that they had to take some risks in
order to obtain referrals and future business from the customer. It
seemed as if there was a lot of bending of the rules so to speak. As
a REALTORŪ, I am bound to perform under a strict Code of Ethics. When
representing a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, or other client as an
agent, REALTORSŪ pledge themselves to protect and promote the
interests of their client. In today's litigious environment, real
estate agents are much more educated and cautious.
Remember, the only way to
get have an agent 100% on your side is to request representation from
me as your Buyer's Agent.
