Who represents you?
In almost every state in the U.S., buyers have the option of being
represented by their real estate agent. This relationship creates
responsibilities that require the agent put their client's interests above
their own.
The duties a buyer or seller can expect to receive among others are honesty,
accountability, full disclosure, representation and reasonable skill and care.
In a nutshell, the agent who represents you is working in your best interest.
It's a special relationship that doesn't exist with most of the other
professionals involved in a real estate transaction. Mortgage and title
officers are limited to their duties of honesty, accountability and specific
requirements under the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act.
This special relationship with your real estate agent makes it advantageous
to have them coordinate your efforts with the other professionals in the home
buying process. Since most buyers' and sellers' transactions are infrequent,
the agent can bring valuable experiences to the transaction.
Our goal is to
help you improve and maintain the investment in your home so we can earn the
right to be your lifelong real estate professional.
