How is a Buyers Agent Compensated?
The seller of property listed in the MLS has already agreed to pay a percentage of the commission to the buyers agent. Whether the buyer chooses to have their own agent representation is the buyers decision.
Do you represent many buyers?
Approximately 40% of our business is from representing buyers. Many times these buyers are the same individuals that we represented as sellers of their other homes.
Do you require a written contract for buyer representation?
Yes, for us to do the best possible job of representing you in the purchase of a home we must have the authority to represent you. When you are a client and not a customer we can provide you with sales histories of neighborhoods, tax records, comparable analysis etc. We try to have our Buyers Representation Agreement cover only the areas we normally work and for a reasonable time period. We can always amend the area and time if objectives change.
What are your working hours and days?
We are generally available 7 days a week we normally try to take time off during the week to run our errands and catch up on our necessities.
How would you handle a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) property?
We would contact the seller of the FSBO and offer them a one time showing agreement that would cover our commission most FSBO's are more than happy to execute this agreement.
What about Relocation Will you work with my relocation plans?
We have moved at least 8 times over 25 years in the corporate world and understand the importance of a good Realtor in the process. We have experience in working with various Corporate Relocation Companies. We need to know their requirements and procedures upfront.
Do you have any Special Training that relates to buyer representation?
Yes, we both have completed the National Association of Realtors course for ABR Accredited Buyer Representation. We also have approximately 35+ years combined Real Estate practice and the experience of approximately 1200 transactions.
