Buyers Real Estate Agent Greenville SC As you search for your Greenville SC home, it is important that you understand my role as a Buyer's Agent. In Greenville SC, a Buyer's Agent is exactly what it states - a real estate agent who represents only the Buyer. South Carolina real estate laws have changed over the last several years. Buyer Agency has been introduced in order to better safeguard buyers' interests. In the old days, one agent often represented both the seller and the buyer in a transaction. This is known as Dual Agency and is quite common in South Carolina.
How Buyer's Agency works in Greenville Real Estate I work exclusively as your personal representative as you explore Greenville SC houses, Greenville SC condos or Greenville SC new construction. As your Greenville Buyer's Agent, my focus and job as a Greenville SC Realtor is to get you the best possible deal. I can save you thousands of dollars. My job is to negotiate the best price and most favorable terms for YOU. Any information that you share about your circumstances is kept strictly confidential. Your position in the negotiating process is never discussed with anyone but you! You have my undivided loyalty and I negotiate strictly on your behalf. Being on "your side" as your Buyer's Agent means not only informing you of positives, but also identifying the negatives of any property or transaction. My job is to help you make a FULLY INFORMED decision and to help you make the best choices for you by avoiding any potential pitfalls. Who Pays your Buyer's Agent? One very important fact to remember about acting as your personal Realtor in Greenville SC is that I am paid by the Seller. Every transaction has two "halves" - the seller's side and the buyer's side. Through the Listing Agent's listing contract with the seller or builder, the commissions are pre-negotiated to be "split" between the "Listing Agent" (seller's agent) and your "Buyer's Agent". In effect, the Seller pays for my exclusive service to you as your Greenville Realtor. This has nothing to do with the sales price. Don't be misled into thinking you can get a better price if you don't have your own agent. All too often, especially with new construction, Buyers think that they will get a lower price by dealing directly with the seller or a builder. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, in many cases, the Buyer can end up paying a higher price by not having their own Buyer's Agent to represent them. Our Role in Greenville SC New Construction Many Greenville SC real estate Buyers do not understand that the on-site agent at a new home model is acting as the Seller's agent and acts solely on behalf of the builder. They do NOT represent you. Their loyalty is to the Builder only. They must act honestly but their responsibility is to get the best deal for the Builder. As a Buyer, you entitled to have your own Greenville SC Realtor who is representing your best interest - just as the Builder has a representative acting on their behalf. Remember, we are paid by the Builder so my services cost you nothing. Many builders will try to "Lock You In" to using only their agent by having you "Register" when you visit their sales office. By registering, you may be giving up your RIGHTS to a "Buyer's Agent" and any professional representation on your purchase. DON'T DO IT! Do not sign anything in the builder's office or even give them your last name (as they may attempt to register for you), unless your "Buyer's Agent" is actually present with you. As Your Greenville SC Buyer's Agent My job as your Greenville SC Realtor is to negotiate the best price and most favorable terms for YOU.
