New or Resale … you NEED a Buyer’s Agent
Buyers should be aware of their options
so they are better able to protect their positions in this crazy sellers market or in any market for that matter. The role
of the Realtor has been undergoing tremendous change over the past several
years. Prior to 1991, all Realtors worked for the Seller in a Real Estate
transaction. A buyer can now choose to retain representation with a Licensed Realtor
and receive the same legal relationship that Sellers have received for nearly
100 years.
A buyer who understands their options
will typically want to sell their Real Estate representative EARLY in the
transaction in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest should they be
making many calls to various Realtors (typically listing agents representing
the Seller) or if shopping New Home sites (representatives are not necessarily
Realtors – thereby having no accountability to the Buyer through RECO* or
REBBA**).
With the advent of the Internet, many
Buyers are conducting tremendous research on their own before looking at homes
or contacting a Realtor. It cannot be understated that part of the research
conducted from a buyer’s perspective, is the careful selection of the Realtor
to represent their interests in the acquisition of property. A skilled Buyers
agent will add tremendous value to the buyer during the drafting of the
contract, during negotiations, and overseeing the contract to completion. If you’re
going to spend the next 25 years paying for your new home… shouldn’t you spend
a few minutes finding the right person to help make it all happen?
We know your rights … do you?
You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say while un-represented
could be used against you
during negotiations;
