Agency – Quite Simply - Who’s Working for Whom
In the past, Real Estate Agents normally represented the Seller of the property.
Today, the listing Real Estate Agent represents the Seller and a Buyer is typically represented by their Real Estate (Buyer’s) Agent.
With informed consent, the same Real Estate Agent can represent both the Buyer & Seller – but in a more limited capacity.
Typically the Seller pays the real estate brokerage fee, which is then split between the Seller’s Real Estate Agent and the Buyer’s Real estate Agent.
For-Sale-By-Owner(FSBO) and Buyer representation – how can the Buyer have representation? Why would a person need representation on a FSBO?
ASK "Why is the Seller trying to sell the property on their own? is there something the seller doesn't want to disclose about the property? is this property overpriced?"
Most Buyers, when faced with making one of the largest financial decisions in their lives, don’t want to make mistakes by “doing it on their own.” With a FSBO, generally the Seller wants to bi-pass paying a full brokerage fee – but often times is willing to pay the Buyer’s Real Estate Agent fee – this can be a flat fee or a percentage of the selling price.
As a Buyer's Agent, I will listen to your needs, dreams & desires. We'll look at homes that closest match to your criteria. We’ll look at these homes together, I will point out advantages (and disadvantages) of the homes we preview and will continue to monitor new inventory daily to make sure YOU find out about new listings ASAP. I am a member of both the Tucson and Green Valley Multiple Listing Services – see all the homes that meet your needs, no preference given to showing one Brokerage listings over another.
Chose an real estate expert - I have worked with Buyers moving across town and across the country. I've represented Buyers who are upscaling and downscaling their home needs. I have worked with relocation groups and homebuyers who are in the midst of job transfers. I am ready to work for you!!!
