Before we tour homes, we’ll talk through how representation works, what you can expect from me, and how agent compensation may be handled—so you can begin your search feeling informed and comfortable.
What to expect
Buying a home in North Carolina? Let’s talk buyer agency.
Before touring a home with a real estate agent, buyers are generally asked to enter into a written buyer agency agreement. The agreement explains whom the agent represents, the services being provided, how long the agreement lasts, and how the agent may be compensated.
A conversation before you sign
We’ll review the agreement together and discuss its scope and duration. It may cover a particular property, a short period, or a longer home search depending on what makes sense for you.
Clear compensation details
Agent compensation is negotiable. A seller may agree to pay some or all of a buyer agent’s compensation, but that is not guaranteed. I’ll explain the available options and any potential financial responsibility before you move forward.
