OLDHAM GROUP
Andrew Oldham
Team Leader / Attorney
Originally a real estate lawyer, Andrew’s 40 years of real estate experience makes him uniquely able to tackle any real estate problem. From legal expertise, to escrow and title specifics, to brokerage, Andrew has done it all and he loves doing it, for his clients and his team. Before starting the Oldham Group, Andrew had a long career as a real estate litigator, and real estate entrepreneur.
After passing the bar, his real estate law career took off and he spent years in escrow litigation as a freelancer and salaried lawyer. In the nineties, Andrew founded a real estate company called eHome. eHome took advantage of burgeoning internet technology, and found a home for real estate there. They raised 30 million in capital and were the first to make the MLS searchable for clients, not just agents, and expanded to three states.
When he’s not assisting clients and agents, or working with Compass to help them improve their tools and resources, Andrew loves walking Asilomar beach with his wife and business partner, Jennifer and their adorable Boston, Abby. Andrew prides himself on being a kind, and loving person first and foremost, and second (but just barely) an excellent real estate professional.

BUYER REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT
Before we start seeing properties, we ask clients to sign our agreement that allows Compass and us, as your agent, to legally and exclusively represent you and your interests. It establishes a formal relationship between us and outlines the terms and conditions under which I will represent you with your property search.
Essential Components of the Buyer Representation Agreement:
1. Scope of Services: Defines the services I will provide you including property search, property showings, negotiation, and assistance with the purchase process.
2. Property Type and Location: The agreement may include details about the type of property you are interested in (e g single family, condo, commercial property, etc ) and the geographic area where you are looking to purchase
3. Duration: The agreement specifies the period during which you are committed to working exclusively with me (typically 6 months).
4. Compensation: The agreement specifies how Compass will be compensated as it relates to your representation. We can have a conversation at the start of your search to discuss payment scenarios so we can memorialize it in writing in this agreement. Commissions are negotiable.
We will review the agreement together before I ask you to sign anything.
