The Advantage of a Buyer's Agency Agreement
Your Interests Are Professionally Represented
Enlisting the services of a professional buyer's agent will take care of the hassles of everyday real estate transactions for you. We let you concentrate on your full-time job while we do ours. We will guide you through the home-buying process and represent your interests as we help you find a home, present your contract offer, negotiate, and close on your new home!
You Get A Professional Specialist Who Knows Your Needs
We will save you a lot of time by providing you with all the details about any home before you see it. In addition, we will listen to your feedback and concerns about each home.
You Will Quickly And Conveniently Get A Great Home
You will have a professional agent working to find and secure the ideal home for you. It is difficult to find a home that meets your needs, get a contract negotiated, and close the transaction smoothly without an experienced agent. You won't need to spend endless evenings and weekends driving around looking for homes, or trying to search real estate networks by yourself. When you tour homes with your professional buyer's agent, you will already know that the homes meet your criteria, and are within your price range. We set you up in a customized MLS search in our VIP Home Buyer's Program, so YOU choose the homes YOU want to see.
What Is The Buyer's Agency Agreement?
Entering into a Buyer's Agency Agreement has countless advantages. When you sign the agreement, you are simply agreeing to hire a professional representative who, by law, must represent your best interests to the best of her
ability. All of this personal service is available at absolutely no cast to you! The seller's agent is responsible for paying your buyer's agent fee. With a buyer's agent, you get a professional real estate agent devoted to protecting your needs and helping you make one of the most important investment decisions of your life and you don't even have to pay the fee!
What Is A Real Estate Buyer's Agent?
A real estate buyer's agent represents the consumer who is purchasing the property in the real estate transaction. This agent owes FULL fiduciary responsibilities, duties, and loyalty to the real estate buyer. The buyer's agent works for the buyer (client), and has the client's best interests in mind throughout the entire real estate transaction process. A written agreement is preferred from the beginning, through. The agreement will spell out the responsibilities of both parties throughout the real estate transaction. Consult your local Realtor for complete details when you first start the search for purchasing any real estate property.
Think of a buyer's agent as an advocate for the buyer; someone who is not trying to "sell" you on any one property, but rather presenting complete information so that you can make an informed decision.
Remember: Until you enter a buyer's agency agreement, all real estate agents you are working with, represent the seller! This includes all on-site agents in new construction communities and any agent you visit during an open house!
How Is The Buyer's Agent Compensated?
The listing company will pay the buyer's agent. The seller pays the listing company typically at closing. Homes listed in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) have already agreed to compensate the agent that brings a buyer to the seller. Did you ever hear that a real estate listing fee might be 6% and think that the Realtor makes $12,000 from the sale of a $200,000 home? WRONG! Let's take a look and see what happens to a 6% listing fee. The Seller pays the total commission to the listing agent. Part of the money will go to the property that has the property listed, part to the listing agent, part that goes to the company that brings the buyer, and part to the buyer's agent. On average it is an equal split of 3% to each company (listing and selling) then a % of that 3% to the agents (listing and selling). Remember that the buyer's agent is an independent contractor paying for all expenses ie gas, mileage, lunch, and their time and is only compensated by real estate closings.
