Using a Real Estate Professional:             Advantages for Buyers

         New rule changes have been implemented regarding buyer agreements and buyer agent compensation, and there are many things that buyers need to be aware of. These new rules do not mean that buyers should forego representation, in fact, "now, more than ever" it is important to understand the way that these changes have affected the way that buyers, sellers and Realtors interact to make the transaction successful. We can explain how buyer agent compensation is paid and review our buyer compensation agreement with you in detail. We believe it has some advantages over other buyer compensation agreements which are offered by other organizations.  

​Using a Realtor provides many advantages to home purchasers:

​

• Valuable experience regarding property pricing and condition evaluation, contract negotiation skills, and strong understanding of home systems and maintenance required

• Referrals to vetted service providers who can help more easily facilitate the home buying process

•  Multiple Listing Service (MLS) access: Buyer agents have advanced search tools that are applied to your search which are not available to the public

• Visibility of Private Listing Network: Homes that are not quite ready for the public market can be an alternative way Realtors help buyers to find the perfect home, and avoid the chaos that results when NEW listings produce 30 home showings over one weekend for sellers, culminating in a bidding war which results in the highest paying buyer getting the home in a low inventory market
