Home Buyer Introduction - Part 1 |
|
As Relocation Specialists our job is varied, but ultimately to help in finding the best new home options for your family and your situation. According to the National Association of REALTORS the number one key to successfully achieving your new home goals is to hire a highly experienced and customer-service oriented residential real estate professional with the coveted REALTOR® designation. When you hire a highly trained and experienced REALTOR, by retaining their services by executing a "Buyer Agency Agreement", the broker will represent your best interests, provide guidance, information and assistance throughout the transaction process. The following additional information can save many hours of time and thousands of dollars ! As a potential home buyer in Colorado, you need to know the following: * Only a Buyers Agent can help you in negotiating the lowest possible price! * Only a portion of currently available houses are shown on the internet. (Statistics show between 30 and 50 percent of the available properties are not on the internet) * Many of the homes on the internet are already under contract e.g. SOLD (20-40 percent) * Colorado real estate laws differ significantly from laws in all other states. Here's one example. Under Colorado Law there are three types of real estate agents (three types of "agency" relationships): 1) Seller's Agents - those under contract and working specifically for the seller. The names of these people appear on the yard sign in front of the homes for sale. These brokers and the company they work for represent the interest of the sellers. Therefore, they do not represent the interests of a potential buyer. There is no "Dual-Agency" in Colorado, as might exist in other states. 2) Buyer's Agents - a broker specifically under a "Buyer's Agency Contract" and working specifically for the best interests of the buyer. 3) Transaction Brokers - a broker who is not under contract with either a buyer or seller. Without an executed contract, the broker is not specifically representing either a seller or buyer, but will remain neutral during a transaction. The Colorado Real Estate Commission believes it is vitally important that every potential residential real estate buyer and seller in Colorado fully understand the three types of relationships you can have with a Colorado licensed broker. The Commission therefore requires that the first step in the real estate process is for you to receive a disclosure form explaining the three types of agency relationship you can have with a Colorado real estate broker. Every broker is required by law to present you with this form and you are required to acknowledge receiving this document. Please Note: There are a number of additional services that only a Buyer's Agent can provide. Our exclusive Home Buyer's Guide provides additional information and a sample "Buyer's Agency Agreement" for your review. Please see the links to additional information provided below. |
