Buyers Did You Know?

1. I can show you any property listed in the Sandicor MLS. Some home buyers are under the impression that since I am with Century 21 Award I can only show properties listed with my office. THIS IS NOT TRUE. As a real estate professional, I have access to the MLS. This service lists ALL real estate office listings and I can show you any of the properties.

2. Using me as your real estate agent costs you nothing. The seller, when they list a property for sale agrees to pay a percentage of the sales price to the listing agent. The listing agent then agrees to give a portion of that percentage to the cooperating agent that brings in the buyer.

3. Buying a home from the agent on the For Sale sign is not always a good idea. That agent represents the seller. You need and deserve someone to work for you to negotiate the best deal for you. If you see a property that interests you, call me.

4. When you work with more than one agent, you really have NO agent working for you. Real Estate agents do not get paid a salary (or gas money). An agent may work with a buyer for months before finding them their dream home. Agents know that if you are working with more than one agent you could buy from another agent and all their hard work was for nothing. If you want an agent to be committed to you, you must be committed to them.

5. You do not always get a good price when working with a For Sale By Owner. Most owners who are going through the hassle of selling themselves are doing so to attemp to make the most money for themselves. Often times over pricing the home. Do not make the biggest investment of your life without proper representation.
