The Ultimate Home Buyer's Guide

LET'S SHAKE ON IT

Do you want to hear some good news / bad news?

The good news is, as a buyer, you won’t have to pay for our service upfront. We get paid out of the seller's proceeds after the sale has been completed. So, essentially you pay for our services through the purchase price of the home.

The bad news...

We don't get paid until and unless you find and buy a home. Hmm, sounds more like good news / good news...for you! Not so much for us. LOL!

Pretty lopsided, huh? But that is how it works in this business. You get our time, thoughts, advice, and skills with no risk to you, but all risk on us. That probably does not sound so bad to you, right? But here is the deal...

It does hurt many real estate buyers because they end up not trusting the advice and motives of the agent, they have hired to protect their interests.

Think about it...would you trust an agent putting in so much time, effort, thought and skills for you for free?

Of course, they want (and need) to get paid. Otherwise, a client always wonders whether the advice their agent is giving them is good, right, and true...or just an attempt to get paid, paid more, or paid more quickly.

We take a lot of pride in the time, thought, and advice we give to our clients, and the last thing we want you (or any other client) to do is to question our motives.

Which is why we like to look at the relationship with our clients as: we are “partners” in this together.

We will take on the burden of not getting paid until you successfully close on a home...

All you must do is be serious and committed to buying a home and committed and loyal to us as your agent!

What this means is that you will need to do some initial legwork to get pre-qualified or pre-approved for a loan, be ready to place an offer if you find the "right" home and listen to our advice when it comes to pricing and negotiations.

In rare instances where the seller is refusing to pay a commission to the Buyer’s Agent, we will ask you, the buyer, to compensate us for our services. This would be a very rare case. In all our years as real estate agents we have not had to ask the buyer for compensation.
