What Jennifer Cowan Real Estate Will Do
- I have a the working knowledge of the real estate market in Hall County, Georgia area, including price trends, neighborhood conditions and amenities, real estate law, zoning issues, financing, taxes, insurance and negotiating.
- During our initial meeting, I will help you determine the viability of your wants and needs in both a neighborhood and a home. We will look at your budget and I will try to find the best home in the best area you can afford. I can guide you to help with financing, get you up to date on current market conditions and tell you what to expect as you shop for a home. If you wish, I will also devise a strategy for shopping based on your needs, how much you can afford and current market conditions.
- As we search for your home, I will tour available properties with you and discuss a myriad of details, including a home’s pertinent selling points, floor plans, the proximity to schools, shopping centers, cultural activities and work centers.
- After finding a house that you like, I will assist in obtaining disclosures, making sure home inspections and repairs are completed and coordinating the activities of your lender, attorney, roof inspector and other professionals engaged in your purchase. If bargaining over the price is necessary, I can be your negotiator, and make sure closing documents are prepared properly.
- When you have a question, concern or idea as you shop, I will respond either directly or by referring you to someone who can help.
Who Pays Real Estate Agents
Once you find your home and the deal is sealed, agents are usually paid by commission. Typically, the seller pays the commission, making realty services “free” to the buyer. The listing broker, for whom the listing or seller’s agent works, typically requires that sellers pay 5 percent to 7 percent of the sales price. Because most real estate transactions involve two brokers – the broker who finds the buyer and the broker who finds the seller — the commission is usually split 50-50, between the two brokerage offices. Then, within each office, the agent who handled the transaction gets a share, usually half of the 50 percent or about 1.5 percent.
There are a few exceptions to the commission method of payment. If you use a buyer’s agent, the contract you could be required to sign may or may not require a fee for services or a fee in addition to the commission. Most buyer’s agents, however, simply split the commission 50-50 with the listing agent. In any event, the buyer’s agent contract stipulates that the agent works exclusively for you and is more likely to work with your best interests at heart.
