A Real Estate Agent May Represent Either The Buyer Or The Seller Until
very recently, real estate agents almost always represented the seller, not the buyer, in the real estate transaction. Even the real estate agent who drove you from home to home was not working on your behalf. By law, the agent was required to work on the seller’s side – to get the highest price and the best terms for the seller. Wide-sweeping changes in Multiple Listing Service (MLS) regulations as well as revisions in legislation and local real estate regulations have opened a whole new era in real estate transactions. Today, many real estate agents and companies are offering to represent the buyer in the real estate transaction. From the initial selection of properties, all the way through contract negotiations and settlement, you can now have an agent specifically committed to representing your best interests when buying a home. More than one million people in the United States are licensed to sell real estate. Of those licensees, fewer than 2 percent are Accredited Buyer Representatives (ABR®) So, ….if a real estate transaction is in your future, please contact me as a Buyer’s Representative to work for you. A lot has to happen between signing the purchase offer and moving into the home! I will attend to the details and keep you in touch with the transaction each step of the way. |
