ASK THE BROKER:

What does a REALTOR� do when they are not with you or another client?

REALTORS� should learn the area well, we do. We research all the details that mightnot even occur to buyers, like what is and what is not covered by the HOA or Condo Fee. We know which communities are "Fee Simple" and which are "Leasehold," (What's that - just ask me?)

We know if the neighborhood has a clubhouse, pool and other amenities; how many pets can you have; and... what about fencing your yard? In short, your REALTOR� works just as hard when he or she is not with you. Continue reading what other useful information we know all about!

Buyers, got Questions? We have Answers.
