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

through us.
