Understanding “agency” is the first step towards success when it comes to buying real estate. Your real estate transaction is one of the most important financial decisions that you will ever undertake. As real estate professionals, we understand this and want you to be fully aware of you representation options.
“Agency” in real estate refers to the nature of the fidicuary responsibility that exists between you and the real estate professional you choose to work with. Having a complete understanding of the nature of this relationship is the first step to working together to achieve your real estate goals.
Only after signing a legally binding document does a real estate professional become your agent. As your agent, that realtor now has a legal obligation to insure the protection of your best intrests in every facet of the transaction.
It is about loyalty and responsibility…Traditionally, real estate agentsworked mostly as the agents of the seller, not the buyer. Their loyalties and responsibilities rested with those of the seller. Realtors working with the buyers were “sub-agents” of the seller, keeping the seller’s loyalties ahead of those of the buyer. Often, the buyer had no idea of the true nature of this relationship.
Today’s buyers have options. Buyers may now retain a real estate agent of their own to represent their financial and legal intrests when it comes to the purchase of a home. It is called a “buyers agent”. To learn more about the benefits of a buyers agent, please contact us. We will do everything we can, to make yor next purchase that much easier.
