Buyer Representation Explained
Buyer Representation benefits
- Representation of your interests exclusively
- Professional expertise and effort in helping you attain your goal
- Free to you because we are paid by the sellers commission contract
Buyer Representation – in Plain English
What we do for everyone we deal with:
- Use reasonable skill and care in our relationships
- Act honestly and fairly with everyone
- Provide any written communications as soon as we can
- Reveal any important information about the condition of a property
- Keep track of money and property in our care
What we do as your Buyer’s Representative:
- Everything listed above
- Never do or say anything that is against your interests
- Tell you about any conflicts of interest we have as soon as we know about them
- Tell you if a matter is beyond our expertise and recommend that you find an expert for advice about that matter
- Keep all confidential information private, even after our relationship ends, unless you give us permission to reveal it, or we are ordered by a court or subpoena to release
- Keep working faithfully on your behalf to accomplish your real estate goals. Once you sign a contract to purchase a property we work to complete the purchase successfully
WHAT WE CAN DO:
We can act as your Buyer’s Representative for any property you find when searching the MLS on our website search, unless it is a Juneau Real Estate listing. We can act as your Buyer’s Representative when the property is listed as “for sale by the owner” when the owner signs a For Sale By Owner Commission Agreement.
