Important information to know..

  If you are still shopping around for a broker to list your home, or have already chosen one to represent you, there are a few things that are important for you to know.  Your broker has obligations that not only effect the efficient marketing of your home, but also legal liability issues that could effect them and you!

  When you list your home for sale your broker will provide and explain to you a Consumer Information Statement declaring their status of agency. You should sign this form to acknowledge receipt as your prospective buyers should do.  In addition you will be asked to fill out and sign a lead paint disclosure form which will indicate your knowledge or possession of records regarding the possible existence of lead paint on the property.  This form is then presented to each potential buyer and will offer then the opportunity to test for lead.  Although these forms are required by law, some brokers still do not know how to utilize them.  If they are not offered to you, make sure you ask for them.

  Once listed, your home should be entered into the Multiple Listing Service within 72 hours of taking your listing.  Make sure you ask for a printout of your listing to be sure this is done.  Prompt marketing and dissemination of information to cooperating brokers is essential to the efficient marketing of your property.  Do not let a broker waste your marketing time while trying to retain more of the commission for themselves at your expense.

  Once an offer is accepted, remind your broker that it is their legal obligation to present every written offer to you until you are out of attorney review and to make you aware of every written offer made until the closing of title.  A broker who dissuades other brokers from presenting offers only impedes your ability to receive the best price and the best qualified buyer for your home.

If you have any questions concerning these issues, please feel free to contact us anytime.
