Does it cost money to be a client? |
Buyer clients who are under contract receive all services for free.
Seller clients pay closing costs and a pre-agreed commission upon the closing of the sale of their home. We only get paid if you sell your home for a price that is acceptable to you. |
What if I don’t want to sign a contract? |
A seller must sign a contract to sell their house with us.
A buyer can be a customer of a Realtor, which means they not under contract. The Realtor works in their best interest but customers only have access to limited services. |
Can I work with multiple Realtors at the same time? |
No. It is not permitted for a Realtor to provide any services to buyers or sellers who are under contract with another Realtor. It is considered poor form to work with several Realtors even if they are not under contract. |
