Buyer Agency Agreement Protection

By Lindsey, on December 23rd, 2011

Wouldn’t it be nice for a buyer to be able to sit down and interview 3 or 4 buyers agents before choosing which agent suits them best?

When a buyer finds a buyers agent who will go above and beyond the job description the buyer knows that the agent deserves to be paid after the work is done, just as with any other job. This is one part of a buyer agency agreement, aka buyer broker agreement, to protect the agent’s compensation for their hard work. If a buyer is not serious about buying and will just waste the buyer agent’s time and money, then they will most likely not want to sign the agreement.

Another side to the buyer agency agreement is to protect the buyer. When the buyer broker agreement is presented to the buyer, it should be thoroughly explained. After the explanation and reading the agreement the buyer should be able to feel as though the buyers agent will fight to the death for them while buying a home.

Is Foreclosure the End of Owning a Home?

By Lindsey, on December 2nd, 2011

It seems these days that everyone either has been through a foreclosure themselves or know someone who has. Buyers agents everywhere are speaking about how many foreclosures are flooding the market currently. With foreclosures being so prevalent in today’s society a common question arises:

Can I own a home again if I have foreclosed on a previous home?

The answer is YES! But for all of you who are quick to jump the gun, slow down. Take a deep breath. This isn’t going to be a quick turnaround. Most reputable financing companies have a three year or more waiting period after foreclosing.

A buyers agent can help direct you to the right company who can help you get back on your feet.
