Real Estate 101

Each real estate purchase has two sides to it.  The seller’s side and the buyer’s side.

When the seller decides to sell, he or she calls a Realtor (known as the listing agent) and they develop the list price, description of the property, real estate commissions and any advertising that will follow. 

Soon after, the listing agent places a sign in the front yard of the property that advertises the agent and lets everyone know that the home is for sale.  The agent also puts all of the information into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and offers other agents (known as the selling agent) a portion of their commission if they bring someone to the property that wants to buy it.

The Rules

Realtors have rules that we must all abide by.  A lot of them in fact!  And one of the BIG rules is called “Fiduciary Duty”, which means that the listing agent has agreed to act on behalf of the seller of the property. 

So, when you’re driving down your favorite street and you pass your favorite house with a for sale sign in the front yard, your first reaction may be to call the number on the sign. But, guess who answers your call?  The Realtor that has been hired by the seller.

Who’s acting on your behalf? No one.

Our goal is to make sure you never need to contact another Realtor – ever.  And if we do our jobs well, you won’t.  A long time mentor, friend and very successful agent from the east coast once told us “If you forget about everything else, and only concentrate on what’s best for your clients, you’ll always be busy agents.”  That’s become a motto of ours and we work hard every day with those words in mind.

We’re here for you when you need us.
