Platinum Properties
offers you the advantage of
complete relocation services
that include acting as your
Buyer's Broker. This applies
if you are either looking to
rent or buy a property.
(By the way, if you are
considering renting when you
first arrive, many local
rental agents, in
cooperation with Platinum
Properties, have special
programs for people moving
into the area. Email
info@ncfindahome.com for
details.)
A
buyer's agent or broker is a
real estate agent who is
employed by and represents
only you, the buyer or
tenant, in a transaction.
Although they work
exclusively for the buyer,
their compensation can be
paid in a number of ways.
The most common is through a
commission paid by seller's
or landlord's. Please note
that these agents are
licensed in their own
States.
Even
though this service is
covered by the seller's or
landlord's brokerage in the
form of a commission split,
your buyer's brokers, are
not commission driven
because it does not matter
to them which home you
purchase. All that matters
is that they help you find
the best property for your
needs.

agency relationships in this
state, contact us by

Even
though the seller or the
seller's agent pays their
fee, buyer's agents must
always remain loyal to the
buyer. Buyer's agents can
provide a number of services
for you including:
-
Helping you determine
how much you can afford
to spend on a home.
-
Explaining available
financing options
-
Informing you of current
real estate values,
taxes, utility costs and
other factors that will
influence your opinion
about a property
-
Extending the search
beyond MLS properties to
include "For Sale By
Owners", foreclosed
properties, bank trusts,
or new construction that
fits the description of
the property desired by
the buyer, whenever
possible
-
Using the Multiple
Listing Service to
locate homes that suit
your needs
-
Selecting appropriate
properties to view
-
Revealing any
information about a
seller or property which
may affect your purchase
decision
-
Representing you on a
confidential basis,
agreeing not to disclose
anything about you to
the seller except that
which is required by law
-
Advising you on your
offer
-
Presenting your offer to
the sellers, and
negotiating for the most
favorable terms and
price, with the least
amount of inconvenience
to you
-
Helping you evaluate
counter offers
Buyer's agents are the only
agents who act
solely with your interests
in mind
Most
states require that real
estate agents disclose to
buyers and sellers their
agency relationship. Real
Estate agents are required
to "provide timely,
meaningful written
disclosure to consumers of
all possible relationships
under State law."
The
disclosure should take place
at the first substantive
contact --- certainly before
you sign a representation
agreement, are shown a
property, or the real estate
agent is told any
confidential information.
