Buyer Representation
Real Estate agents do not always work for the seller. Fair dealing is what you should always expect from a REALTOR, but as a Buyer, you may be best served by hiring a Buyer Broker. Please read the Agency Disclosure
Why do you need a Buyer Broker?
Our real estate market has limited inventory. This is a good thing! It demonstrates that many people want to live in the Stowe area, and, once here, not too many of them leave. I am dedicated to matching people and properties. As your Buyer Broker, these are some of my duties:
- I will work diligently to find you a home! I will give you immediate notice of any listing that may fit your needs through my eClub service. I will look for properties that are not listed for sale once we have established the scope of your search parameters.
- You will receive expert advice, substantiated by market evidence, to help you decide how much to offer for a property.
- I will negotiate to secure the best price and terms when you make an offer. When it comes to contract negotiations, I am a seasoned pro!
- I will see that all of the details of your contract are carried out in a timely manner to closing. Much of my work begins at the time a contract is executed! I will insure that the sellers fulfill their obligations under the contract terms to your satisfaction.
What does this service cost?
There is no charge to the Buyer when you purchase a property that is listed for sale with a real estate agent. I receive a portion of the fee paid by the Seller to their real estate agent.
If a property is not listed for sale, the Buyer will pay a commission fee based on a percentage of the sales price. There is never a double charge of commission fees. I either work for the buyer or for the seller, and I only get paid once.
Are there additional costs?
A buyer will incur certain costs, all variable except for the Vermont Property Transfer Tax. You may or may not choose to have a property inspection, attorney representation, mortgage financing, title insurance, property insurance, or an appraisal…most of these will be required if you seek financing. I have prepared a list of references for most professional services; please feel free to use it!
