HOME BUYER REBATES WITH LOWES FLAT FEE REALTY

To find your new home, you have likely already begun looking online; whether it is on national sites such as Zillow, Realtor.com and the like, or perhaps smaller more local sites. You should know, and you may have already found out, that on most of these 3rd party sites it is difficult to get information from the actual listing agent. Any inquiry you make will likely be directed an agent who has paid for the right to receive buyer leads generated by that site.

We can assist you in your search, and we can set you up with automatic email notifications of the new listings that come on the MLS that match the parameters for which you are looking. That way you can have immediate knowledge of fresh properties, so that you can act quickly. Also, you will get that information without the accompanying phone calls from agents wanting to sign you as client.

When you have possibly found that dream home, and you have driven by and like the area, and it is time to see the interior, now what?

We want to treat all agents fairly, and we also want to be sure that we both are paid. Where you earn your part of that payment comes in the viewing of the property. If you have already seen it because you have been the house previously, or have seen at an open house or perhaps it is vacant land then this part is easy.

Listing agents do not generally show their listed homes unless it is to buyers they are representing. So, we have made arrangements with local agents that will accept a small fee to show you the homes you’re interested in viewing. The fees agents charge to show will vary, but generally are around $. . You will be charged this fee at the time of showing. At closing, we will reimburse you for these charges up to $200. So, it is wise to do your homework and limit the number of homes you request to view. Regardless, the fees are very small compared to the amount of money you will be getting back as your rebate.

Remember it is critical that you do not contact the listing agent directly and fail to indicate that you are currently represented by a buyer’s agent, you need to ensure you are able to get your rebate.

When you are ready to make an offer, this is where we come in more to assist you. We will prepare the offer along with any accompanying addenda for you. (We will also follow up with any counter offers, inspection addendums, and provide guidance and assistance all the way through the closing process.) You will provide us with all the necessary information, such as buyer’s names, offer price, amount of earnest money, requested closing date, other contingencies etc. I will guide you through this process and get the required information as well as provide general information, suggestions and cautions. Once we have the offer completed we will send to you for your final review and electronic signatures. Then, once signed, we will forward the offer to the listing agent and coordinate any follow up counter offers or addenda.

We will coordinate document flow between you, the buyer, buyer’s agent, buyer’s lender if there is one, the title and escrow company etc. We will also work with you regarding any addenda as the result of the inspection, and any other subsequent changes that may be required. We are with you all the way through closing.

Also before we get to closing you will need to decide how you want to use that rebate; whether at closing for costs or after for whatever you want.
