Not too many years ago all agents
in Illinois represented sellers only. With the advent of
buyer’s brokerage,
buyers finally have the representation that they deserve.
What should you look for from an agent?
We take the time to know your needs. We subscribe to a philosophy
of listening first!
A Clear Understanding of what your agent is going to do
for you is first and foremost. It is also essential that
you know your responsibilities and choices. ALL of these
components need to be spelled out so that you can buy with
confidence.
Knowing About Dual Agency. Dual agency is a means to allow
real estate agents, under Illinois law and with full disclosure,
the ability to act on behalf of more than one party when
both parties are clients. Although the likelihood of dual
agency becoming a part of your transaction is small, it is
essential that you understand the process and that the procedure
includes fairness and the ability for the agent to act without
favoring one client over the other. The choice is YOURS.
We will explain all the advantages and disadvantages of dual
agency BEFORE it potentially arises. Trust the HomeDuo to
answer all your real estate questions with honesty and candor.
Disclosure always comes first.
In Illinois virtually ALL sellers must fill in a proper “Seller’s Disclosure” in
order to divulge important information about the home that
they are selling. In addition ALL home that were built prior
to 1978 also require a Lead Paint Disclosure. We will guide
you through this process.
An Experienced Negotiator is essential to your representation.
We strive for the best price and terms to suit YOUR needs.
We will not rest until you have the home you desire at the
terms you need. No one will work harder for you!
