Best of Legal Hotline: Headline:
Dual Agency Delivers
Facts. The backdrop for this question is fairly familiar. A buyer agent is showing homes to buyers and realizes that one of his listings would be absolutely "perfect" for the young couple. He shows the couple the property and after some discussions with them, they put together a very attractive offer. Knowing that the sellers are out of town, the agent (now a dual agent) emails the offer to the sellers and follows the email with a telephone call to discuss the terms of the offer. Because the sellers are anxious to sell the property (they already closed on their new home), and because the agent did a good job putting together an offer that basically met his sellers' needs, the sellers were satisfied with the offer and told the agent they would sign it as presented and drop it off to him that evening at his office. While the agent is waiting for the sellers to arrive, he received a call from a cooperating agent stating that she wanted to present an offer that night; of course, the offer has better terms.

Demystifying Septic Systems

By Aqua Resources

 

We'd like to debunk the misconception that septic systems are undesirable.

 

Whether they've heard horror stories about sewage problems or are just completely unfamiliar with private tanks, many prospective homeowners worry about the complexities involved with a septic system. To prevent any issues before closing, it's essential to assess a septic system's condition by having it inspected.

Agent Questionnaire Now Available for Consumers
Somewhere in Pennsylvania an agent is responding to the question "Why should I select you as my Realtor®?" And I'll bet that every one of you has spent hours working on your answer to that question.  

But how do you know if your answer is really resonating with the potential client in front of you? You might spend 20 minutes talking about your superior marketing strategy when they really want to know about how quickly you'll turn around emails and phone calls. Or you could wax poetic about association experience when they're really interested in neighborhood knowledge.

 

What if someone could put together a list of common questions for consumers to ask of potential agents? And what if you could give such a questionnaire to a prospective client knowing that you'd already worked out great answers that show yourself in the best possible light?
