What about
the 1%?
If you
contact a For Sale By Owner or an on-site builder representative
without identifying that you are represented by your agent, and you
wish to be represented, you may be obligated to pay a brokerage fee.
To eliminate any confusion it is always best to work through us.
Is it true
that a Seller or Builder or Listing Agent will discount the price of the
home if you don't have an agent?
This is a
common misconception. The Brokerage fee (or commission agreement) is a
totally separate agreement, than the sales price of a home. The
commission structure customarily doesn't change even if the sale price
of the house is negotiated at a lower price. The listing office receives
the same commission rate, just at a lower price.
Is it true
that a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) home can be purchased for less if you
don't have an agent?
This is also
a common misconception. FSBOs usually are intent on getting the highest
price possible without paying for real estate services, and may have the
property priced unrealistically high. Furthermore, who will assist you
in structuring your offer and/or counter offer, coordinate with Sellers,
Buyers’ Lender, Appraiser, Home Inspector, Surveyor, Hazard Insurer,
and Title/Closing Company, and accompany you to a smooth closing? To
eliminate any costly mistakes, it is always best to work through us.
