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 adversely effect the agent, their broker 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 48 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.

To my current and potential clients, investors and families:     

    Obviously,  as we know all to well, the over inflated real estate market of the past few years is long gone.   I have been disturbed by some brokers who a year ago would look at you right in the face and tell you that they are "busy as ever and there is no sign of it slowing!"  When I heard them trying to convince that to the public it really bothered me.  In the teachings of one firm, they tell their agents that "you can't get a price reduction on a listing you don't have!"  Seems as though they want their agents to tell potential sellers that their property may sell for more than it realistically can, just to get them to sign a listing agreement.  That is just not right.  Why won't they just be honest with the homeowners as I always have and work with them on a marketing plan depending on the seller's needs?  That may or may not start out with a high asking price seeing what activity they get, and then lower it until it's sold.   What if  the owner had wanted it aggressively marketed to sell fast before the market worsened further, but eventually sells at even a lower price than it may have due to wasted time at an unrealistic price set by a listing hungry agent, scaring away otherwise would-be purchasers.  I hear  stories like this from people I meet every day.
