Listing on MLS and Other Real Estate Internet Sites

​

The next steps involve listing your property on MLS, Zillow, Trulia, realtor.com and other web sites to enhance the marketing of your property. Once we have an offer for your property, the agent will walk you through all the details so you can make an intelligent decision on whether to accept or reject the Offer.

                                                      

 BUYING A HOME

​

There are various methods a real estate agent can be employed by a buyer.

Some agents work as a:

​

1) Facilitator (does not represent the buyer or seller in the transaction);

2) Designated seller's or buyer's agent (designated by another real estate agent to represent either buyer or seller);  

3. Dual agent (representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction); or 

4. Buyer's agent - this occurs when the buyer becomes the agent's client.

​

The duty the Concierge agent owes to the buyer is undivided loyalty, reasonable care, disclosure, obedience to lawful instruction, confidentiality and accountability, provided, however, that the agent must disclose known material defects in the real estate. The agent must put the buyer's interests first and negotiate for the best price and terms for their client, the buyer.

​

We hope you'll consider hiring a Concierge agent in your search for a new home.
