🏡 ATTENTION HOME BUYERS 🏡

On August 17th, all buyers currently looking to purchase a home, MUST sign a "Buyer Representation Agreement"- prior to walking into a property.

✅ JUST SHOW ME THE HOUSE!!

Starting August 17th, NO REALTOR will be able to unlock a door without you first signing the agreement 🤯 This will be non-negotiable for any person with a Realtor designation.

✅ Wait…WHAT DO I HAVE TO SIGN??

The agreement between buyer and Realtor is a Buyers Representation Agreement, the contract between you and that realtor stating you will be using them to buy a home and breaking down the roles, duties and responsibilities owed to you by your agent etc. This form also spells out what broker commission are to be paid by you and/or the seller. Whatever commission is on this agreement is the MAXIMUM commission your broker/agent can receive out of the transaction.

✅ I HAVE TO PAY COMMISSION?

Well yes…but actually maybe no… 🤔
With the new NAR ruling going into effect, advertising cooperating broker and buyer broker commissions will now be BANNED on the MLS.

So, now when your agent shows you a home, they may likely not have any idea if they are going to get paid from the transaction. Commissions are always negotiable of course, and there are a number of ways your agent can get paid. By the seller either in the form of direct compensation to Buyer brokerage or as a form of concession/credit to buyer. In some cases, the buyer will be paying the commission for their agent out of pocket and this will be spelled out in the buyer's representation agreement.

✅ HIRE A PROFESSIONAL AGENT

Selecting an agent when buying a home is an important decision.

August 17th is approaching a lot of changes will happen behind-the-scenes. This new rule with a buyer representation agreement is just one facet of the NAR ruling which will change the landscape of how real estate is sold in the United States. 🇱🇷

✅ ALIGNMENT & COMMUNICATION

Now, more so than ever, aligning yourself with a full-time professional realtor will be vitally important for the success of your home purchase.

🙌🏽🙌🏽 this is the truth!

I went from 203 to 137 faster than I though was possible. And, I'll never forget the look on my doctor's face when I walked into his office for my annual checkup.

“Are you doing that “Rice Method” I told you about?”, he stuttered.

So, I told him I've been doing it for the last few months and how it's really transforming my life and health.

"Nothing has EVER worked so fast for me!", I said with a BIG smile.

Even the nurses were complimenting me on my transformation and asking me how I had done it at my age.

It was the first time in almost 2 decades, I left my the doctor’s office feeling good about myself.

So, maybe this could help you too? Click below to see what the “Rice Method” is all about.
