| RE/MAX REALTORS cooperate well with other
REALTORS in the process of buying a home. RE/MAX REALTORS prefer to work as a buyer-broker
with you rather than as a sub-Broker of the REALTOR who is working for the Seller. We want
to work for your best interest, not the Seller's. Most corporations request we represent
their employees as buyer-brokers. They know sometime in the future they may be buying your
home when you transfer again. Buyer-brokers help keep their relocation costs down because
their employees have made smarter purchases. All RE/MAX Realty Professionals REALTORS have
completed advanced courses in Buyer Brokerage and many have their ABR (Accredited Buyer
Representative) designation.
Things a REALTOR can do as a Buyer-Broker that they can not do as a sub-Broker:
- Prepare and interpret market analysis done on the property you are buying. (Determines
if the price and terms of the listed property are correct)
- Analyze and compare the "Pluses and minuses" of different properties you are
considering buying.
- Discuss the salability of different neighborhoods. (What neighborhoods hold their
property values better.)
- Tell you any information discerned about the motivation of the Seller.
All new home developments use REALTORS to market their properties. These
REALTORS encourage other REALTORS to bring their Buyers to the developments and will pay
normal co-op and buyer-brokerage fees. You, the Buyer, will pay no more for using an REALTOR
who represents you than using an area representative or REALTOR who
represents the Seller.
When looking at homes, we always want to be with you. We know there are times when you
just want to drive around and get a "feel" of the neighborhood. We recognize
this. Should you go into an open-house or model home without your REALTOR, you may
jeopardize your representation and my obligate yourself to additional out-of-pocket fees.
So, should a model home or open-house look so good that you just have to go in, please
tell the Seller's REALTOR that you are working with us. Most, but not all, REALTORS will honor
your right to representation. Sign in and make sure you put your REALTORS name down with
yours. If the Seller's REALTOR does not allow you to have your own representation, walk away
and come back with your representative at a later time. |
