Selecting a Buyer's Agent like David Wade or Lynn Wade

As a prospective homebuyer you should start by asking yourself four questions:

1) Do I really need a Realtor to help me find and purchase a home?
2) What is the difference between a Seller/Listing Agency, Buyer Agency, Designated Agency, Dual Agency, Subagency and
     Transaction Brokerage?
3) Who pays for the Realtor's Services?
4) What makes one Realtor a better choice over another?

2) Agency, who represents whom?
ABC's of Agency was prepared by the Georgia Association of Realtors to fully explain REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE RELATIONSHIPS. I strongly recommend you click this link and print this two-page document.

3) Who pays for the Realtor's Services?
bullet Listing Agent (the agent who's name is on the yard sign) is paid by the seller and is the legal agent for the seller.

bulletBuyer Agent - A buyer agency is created when the buyer enters into an agreement commonly known as a buyer brokerage agreement. A real estate broker can be compensated by seller yet represent the buyer. Therefore, in some buyer brokerage agreements, the fee or commission received by the buyer´s broker is actually a portion of the fee or commission paid by the seller to the listing broker. In these situations, the seller also agrees that the listing broker will share the commission or fee with any buyer´s broker. With some buyer brokerage agreements, the buyer pays a fee or commission directly to his or her broker.

Lynn and I only offer a buyer brokerage agreement in which the seller pays the brokerage fee or commission.
All of the homebuyer services we offer are 100% free of charge to the homebuyer!
