Who Represents You in your Real Estate Purchase?

July 20th, 2011


Who Represents You?

In almost every state in the U.S., buyers have the option of being represented by their real estate agent. This relationship creates responsibilities that require the agent put their client's interests above their own.

The duties a buyer or seller can expect to receive among others are honesty, accountability, full disclosure, representation and reasonable skill and care. In a nutshell, the agent who represents you is working in your best interest.

It's a special relationship that doesn't exist with most of the other professionals involved in a real estate transaction. Mortgage and title officers are limited to their duties of honesty, accountability and specific requirements under the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act.

This special relationship with your real estate agent makes it advantageous to have them coordinate your efforts with the other professionals in the home buying process. Since most buyers' and sellers' transactions are infrequent, the agent can bring valuable experiences to the transaction.

A Residential Finance Consultant is trained and has special tools to help you make better decisions when you buy or sell and in between. Our goal is to help you improve and maintain the investment in your home so we can earn the right to be your lifelong real estate professional.
