Loyalty and commitment are the foundations of trust. You reap many benefits by committing to your real estate agent.
We build relationships with both local and out of state buyers and pride ourselves on being committed to find you the perfect home. We work with buyers in a buyer agency relationship.
What does this mean for you?
You will sign a Buyer Broker Agreement. This means we are working for you, our client, in your best interest. Otherwise, you are a customer. It all comes down to whether you want someone looking out for you. Our goal is to represent you in your real estate transaction and provide quality client service.
In Return We Ask You:
- To communicate honestly and responsibly.
- To willingly provide pertinent information as needed.
- To promptly inform me of important changes of any time including timing, requirements, or other critical information that will affect your service commitment.
- To request that you pre-qualify for a home mortgage loan if you are financing any portion of your real estate investment. (Local MLX co-oping agreements require that you be pre-qualified prior to showing you real estate properties for sale. Their sellers are being asked to make their home presentable, leave their home while we show it, etc. and I am to pre-qualify you before taking you to their homes.)
- To submit a loan application and call lender – required information within the time frames of the contract when financing.
- To enter into contracts in good faith and make every effort to adhere to all negotiated contingencies.
- To inform all other real estate agents and For Sale By Owners that you are represented by Melanie Kramer of Keller Williams Realty.
- Sign a Buyers Brokerage loyalty Agreement.
