New Rules in Viewing Homes

New Rules for Viewing Homes 

Gone are the days of touring homes obligation-free! Recent changes in real estate law now require buyers to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement before viewing any property. Here’s what you need to know:

– Buyer Broker Exclusive Agreement: This document establishes an exclusive working relationship between us, along with outlining compensation details.
– Buyer Broker Agreement to Show: For those wanting a non-exclusive, short-term arrangement, this option allows a single viewing and also details agent compensation.

Why These Changes? It’s all about transparency and professionalism. These agreements ensure both buyers and agents are clear on expectations and compensation, making for a smoother, more secure home-buying process.

As your experienced Realtor, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. DM me with any questions or to get started on your home search journey!

Real Estate Success Story with T.J. Kelley of Shea Preferred Realty

When it comes to selling a home, you want a team who goes above and beyond! Recently, we listed a beautiful home in Chandler that faced a $40,000 repair request after inspection, including big-ticket items like a new AC and roof. Challenges like these can be overwhelming, but our team stepped in with experience and strategy.

✨ Through skilled negotiation, we reduced the repair request to just $6,000! Now, our seller is on track for a smooth closing without the hefty price tag. This is the power of having a full-time, dedicated team by your side.

If you’re looking to buy or sell, choose experience and commitment. Let’s achieve success in your real estate journey together!
