Thinking About Buying A Home???

  When most people start looking for a new home they begin by perusing the ads in newspapers or in free magazines distributed at the grocery store - such as The Homebuyers' Journal. These are great places to start as they can give you a general idea of the types of homes available and their cost. You might even get lucky and find your "dream" home. However, these sources represent a very small selection of homes available for sale.
  By contrast, your Real Estate Agent has access to a computerized listing service called the MRIS. This service lists nearly every home currently for sale in the area. An agent can use this system to produce a list of homes for sale that meet your specifications for size, area, price and more!
  Once you have decided to seriously shop for a new home, your best bet is to work with one agent. Find an agent who is willing to work with you and stick with that agent. Any agent can show and sell you any home listed in the MRIS - so it is best to work with one person whom you like, rather than skip from agent to agent. Keep in mind that even though this agent is working with you - his or her commission is paid by the seller not by you - the buyer.
  After you find an agent to help you in your search, you might want to consider signing a Buyer Broker agreement with the agent. Normally an agent is bound by law to represent the seller of a home - this means that even though the agent might be working with you and showing you homes - that agent is still representing the seller and may not disclose certain information to you as a buyer. This changes when you sign a buyer broker agreement.
  A Buyer Broker agreement allows your agent to work for you and not for the seller. A buyer broker can disclose information to you that he could not as an agent working for the seller. The agent's goal is now to get you the best deal and not the seller. In return for this service, you agree to use this agent exclusively to buy your new home.
