ABOUT BUYING

I should find a new home first before I sell the one I now own.

If you sell your home first, the benefits are more negotiating power in the sale of your current home and the purchase of a new one.

I want an agent to represent me as a buyer; I’ll have to pay them myself.

Buyer representation means that the sales associate who you select works with your best interests in mind. In most cases, however, they receive a portion of the commission paid by the seller. There are certain situations where unacceptable or no compensation at all is being offered by the Seller. Examples of such might include a For-Sale-By-Owner or Posting Only listings. In such situations your Agent will explain your options and how their service to you can be fairly compensated for.
