Buying a home may seem to be a daunting prospect at first, but if you take it one step at a time, the pieces all fall into place rather easily. If you have any questions while reading or implementing this information, please contact me. I look forward to working with you!

At this point you need to consider how you want me to represent you. As a licensed real estate agent in the state of Georgia, I cannot represent you as your agent (i.e., be a "Buyer's Agent") without a signed agreement. This agreement is called a Buyer Brokerage Agreement, and I will give it to you when we first meet.

If you sign the Buyer Brokerage Agreement, you are my client. I can advise you and generally give you a higher level of service. I will analyze information such as comparative market data, advise you on negotiating and wording a purchase agreement, and, in general, act as your advocate in the purchase process. The remainder of the buying steps outlined here assume that you are my client.

If you do not sign the Buyer Brokerage Agreement, you are my customer. I can only perform ministerial acts for you, such as showing you properties you select and writing a sales contract with the terms you specify. Under Georgia law, I cannot advise you in any way.

I want to give you my highest level of service. If you have any questions about Buyer Agency, please contact me.
