I will represent you as either buyer or
seller with the highest degree of integrity possible. In my position
as a Co-Owner of ERA First Advantage Realty,
Inc. I
pledge that I will use Christian business principles in all the transactions
involved right up to and including closing.
ERA First Advantage Realty, Inc. practices
the "Golden Rule" (Do unto others
as you would have others do unto you.). The company demands
that their Associates also labor under this rule.
Finally, putting my money where my mouth is, I
pledge to donate 10% of my commission to the charity of my clients
choice.
When I represent you as BUYER...
Before we start looking at homes, I will...
- Answer any questions you may have in the process
of buying a home.
- Discuss and explain the MLS System.
- Discuss architectural style, location, schools and
special features that you desire.
- Explain the details of the Purchase Agreement and
other forms used in purchasing a home and give you a copy for
your review.
- Explain all the various financing options, fixed
mortgages vs. adjustable and 15 year vs. 30 year mortgages and
offer an appointment with a mortgage representative to pre-qualify
and determine your mortgage amount and closing costs.
When
I represent you as SELLER...
I will...
- Answer any questions you may have in the process
of selling a home.
- Explain the details of the Purchase Agreement and
other forms used in purchasing a home and give the you a copy
for your review.
- Explain all the various financing options, fixed
mortgages vs. adjustable and 15 year vs. 30 year mortgages and
offer an appointment with a mortgage representative to pre-qualify
and determine the mortgage amount and closing costs.
- Make every effort to schedule open houses at times
most conveinient for you.
- Present your property to buyers with total honesty.
To do this I expect disclosure of known defects up front to prevent
any lawsuits from buyers in the future.
When I represent you as BUYER or SELLER...
After the Sale and Prior to Closing, I will...
- Assist in obtaining a homeowner's insurance policy.
- Coordinate possession details and provide a list of utility companies.
- Help you arrange for any necessary inspections of the property
in order to evaluate the major elements of the home and review the
report with you.
- Assist you in determining the appropriate financing and help you
select the best financial institutions to obtain your mortgage.
- Inform you of the amount that your cashier's check
will need to be at the time of closing. Most banks require ten days
for any deposit to clear before they will issue a cashier's check.
Reminder - banks may close early, and they will not issue a cashier's
check at a drive-up window. Assist you in obtaining a Power of Attorney
if needed.
