The Home Buying Process

Meet With A Real Estate Broker

Discuss the type of home you’re looking for, including style, price and location.

The Real Estate Broker will review Working with Real Estate Agents Disclosure/ and the Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement with you. You will be asked to sign these agreements to hire our firm to represent you.

Get Pre-Approved

You will need pay stubs, W2s and bank statements. Knowing what you can afford is critical to a succesful home buying experience.

Search For Homes

The fun part! Your agent will schedule showings and help you find the perfect home.

ADVANCED SEARCH: not all real estate websites are the same. Your real estate professional has tools and systems to ensure you see every available home that meets your criteria.

Make An Offer

Your agent will prepare the offer based on the price and terms you choose. At this time we will determine who is paying the buyer agency fee: you the Buyer, the Seller, or a combination of the two.

Negotiating & Contract

Your agent will offer advice on best strategies and negotiate.

DEPOSITS: Due diligence fee is due immediately upon going under contract, with the Earnest Money due within 5 days.

Under Contract

You and the seller have agreed to the price and terms.

Due Diligence

You will hire an attorney and inspector. You will order a survey and appraisal.

Preparing For Closing

You will be finalizing your loan, reviewing documents and securing your homeowners insurance policy.

Closing

The transfer of funds and ownership. An attorney typically acts as an independent third party to facilitate the CLOSING.

CONSUMER GUIDE TO WRITTEN BUYER AGREEMENTS

Why am I being asked to sign this?

If you’re a homebuyer working with an agent who is a REALTOR®, it means you are working with a professional ethically obligated to work in your best interest As of August 17, 2024, you will be asked to sign a written buyer agreement after you’ve chosen the professional you want to work with. Here’s what you should know about these agreements:

What is a “written buyer agreement?” What does it do? A written buyer agreement is an agreement between you and your real estate professional outlining the services your real estate professional will provide you, and what they will be paid for those services.

Why am I being asked to sign an agreement? Written buyer agreements became a nationwide requirement for many real estate professionals as a part of the National Association of REALTORS®’ proposed settlement of litigation related to broker commissions. The requirement went into effect on August 17, 2024.

Are these agreements new? In some places, yes. Many states have required them for years, while some have not. As a result, it is entirely possible you or others you know have not used them in the recent past. Regardless, they are now a nationwide requirement for many real estate professionals

Are these agreements negotiable? Yes! You should feel empowered to negotiate any aspect of the agreement with your real estate professional, such as the services you want to receive, the length of the agreement, and the compensation, if any. Compensation between you and your real estate professional is negotiable and not set by law. In the written agreement, the compensation must be clearly defined (e.g., $0, X flat fee, X percent, X hourly rate) and not open-ended or a range. Only sign an agreement that reflects what you have agreed to with your real estate professional.

How do I benefit from these agreements? These agreements clearly lay out what services you (as a homebuyer) expect your real estate professional to provide, and what your real estate professional will be paid. These agreements make things clear and reduce any potential confusion at the outset of your relationship with your real estate professional

When do I need to sign an agreement? You will be asked to enter into a written buyer agreement with your real estate professional before “touring” a home with them, either in-person or virtually. If you are simply visiting an open house on your own or asking a real estate professional about their services, you do not need to sign a written buyer agreement.

Does this mean I have to pay my real estate professional out of pocket? Not necessarily. While you are responsible for paying your real estate professional as outlined by your agreement, you can still request, negotiate for, and receive compensation for your real estate professional from the seller or their agent.

Do agreements dictate a specific type of relationship I need to have with my real estate professional? No you are allowed to enter into any type of business relationship with your real estate professional allowed by state law where you live.

Can I change or exit an agreement? Yes. You and your real estate professional can mutually agree to change your agreement. Agreements may have specific conditions under which they can be exited, so read the text of the agreement and speak with your real estate professional if you would like to change or exit your agreement.

Please visit facts.realtor for more information, and consult your real estate professional or attorney for more information about state law where you live.

REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®

OPEN UP POSSIBILITIES FOR OTHERS

THERE’S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. Never has that been truer than when coming together in the real estate community to combat homelessness.

THE HOMEOWNERS IMPACT FUND, a designated 501(c)3 nonprofit, invites participants who are in the home closing process to make a small donation that adds up to a substantial gift to local organizations working to lift men, women and children out of homelessness. Because when you harness the power of community, you can weather any storm.

HOW IT WORKS

If you’re fortunate enough to have a roof over your head, please consider supporting the Homeowners Impact Fund to help others in need. Funds raised are distributed directly to reputable nonprofit organizations that support individuals and families in finding a path out of homelessness.

Every day, you experience the joy of a place to call home. Every day, more than 3,000 people in the Charlotte area experience homelessness. Every day, more than 580,000 people across the US experience homelessness. Together, we can make a difference.
