Signing a Buyer's Representation Agreement

abrAccredited Buyer’s Representation

Most REALTORS earn their living by representing buyers and sellers in property transactions. While commission rates and/or terms vary from one property to another, there’s no question about which agent is representing the seller - the one whose 
sign is in the yard.

     Problems can surface on the buyer’s side if a buyer does not make it clear who is representing the buyer. This is why it’s in everyone’s best interest for the buyer to select an agent before shopping for a home and formalize the relationship with a signed buyer representation agreement.

    Agency relationships are based on mutual consent, so if your buyer’s representative isn’t living up to expectations, the buyer can cancel the agreement.  Also, taking time to discuss shared expectations at the beginning of your relationship is the surest way to avoid misunderstandings and form a strong partnership.

Improve Your Homes Energy Efficiency

ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH WINDOWS
By replacing your windows with ENERGY STAR® windows, you save on energy bills; helping to keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer. These windows may have two or more panes of glass, warm-edge spacers between the window panes, improved framing materials, and Low-E coating(s), microscopically thin metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on windows to reduce radiative heat flow.
