Flower Mound Real Estate | Important Buyer Tips | REMAX
Many prospective buyers make their house-hunting experience far too complicated. Rather than first putting together a game plan and sitting down with a professional to discuss the details such as home criteria, price range, and finance options, unwitting buyers often drive around local neighborhoods looking at all the houses with a sign in the yard. Once they find a property they want to see, they call the name on the sign for a private showing. But what they don’t know is this appointment is not a private one at all.
You see, Realtors in Texas have a fiduciary duty to always protect the seller’s interest above a buyer’s unless that buyer has a signed agreement that states otherwise. This agreement is called a Buyer’s Representation Agreement. This document outlines who represents whom in a real estate transaction. The Listing Agent represents the seller, and the Buyer’s Agent (Realtor of the buyer’s choosing) represents the interests of the buyer. Without a signed Buyer’s Representation Agreement in place, the Realtor is acting in the best interest of the seller only. Anything you say to a Realtor regarding your financing, your price range, what you are willing to pay for the property, and anything else that may undermine your negotiating power will be disclosed to the seller. This ultimately will destroy your negotiating power.
However, when you sign a Buyer’s Representation Agreement document with your Realtor, it is your authorization for her to act on your behalf and in your best interest as you see fit. Here is our page for Wellington of Flower Mound real estate and homes for sale. The document will prevent your Realtor from disclosing confidential information to anyone without your written permission. Here is our Bella Lago real estate and homes for sale in Flower Mound page. She will be allowed to provide you with pertinent facts about a neighborhood, give you helpful home buying advice, recommend a mortgage professional, discuss price negotiations, and provide professional opinions to help you make an educated decision.
Therefore to ensure you get the best deal on your new home, first hire your own Realtor. Make no mistake, the Listing Agent cannot represent both sides of the transaction.
