Purchasing your home shouldn't be hard
Imagine the reality of suddenly being forced to pay your buyers agent an average of $15,000, in addition to your downpayment and closing costs! On August 18th, buyers will be waking up to the new complexities of the home buying process.
HOW WILL THE 2024 NAR SETTLEMENT AFFECT YOU?
As a result of the class action suit from sellers and an ongoing legal battle with the DOJ, the National Association of Realtors agreed to make changes to buyer agent compensation rules. As a result, compensation can no longer be shared on the MLS or any other platform, making it nearly impossible to know how your agent will be paid.
It also makes it MANDATORY for a buyer to sign a written agreement to compensate the agent if the seller chooses not to offer compensation to your buyer agent. Again, all of this will be completely unknown to you before you get to see any homes......
We believe these new rules remove transparency within the transaction and will force many would be buyers to attempt to work directly with the sellers agent.
This process removes any exclusive representation you have as a buyer, placing you in a very poor negotiation standpoint and a precariously bad financial position. It may also make the home buying process so overwhelming that many will choose to avoid it and just become lifelong renters, building no generational wealth through real estate.
WE BELIEVE BUYERS WANT A BETTER OPTION
Having your own personal home advisor with a vast depth of experience in representing both sellers and buyers throughout the country makes all the difference in this new landscape filled with so many changing uncertainties.
The real estate industry will remain in turmoil for the next several years, so don't get caught off guard with the changes that may make the difference between being able to purchase your dream home....or not.
Having a professional real estate advisor who is not motivated by the potential for financial gains from your home purchase ensures your advisor is strictly focused on helping you make the best choices by providing research, analysis and experience so you are able to navigate through any transaction with as little stress as possible.
We have removed the concept of a salesperson earning commissions from your purchases, and replaced it with a modern version where your needs are our only focus, and our experience guides our clients into making the best decisions for their financial future.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUYER'S AGENT AND A REAL ESTATE ADVISOR?
The short answer is an advisor can offer services that often fall outside the scope or abiltiy of an agent.
The long answer is that good advice is rare and extremely valuable. With the new NAR Settlement rules taking affect August 17th, the majority of agents work for either a national franchise or publicly traded Brokerge, so the likelyhood they can offer consulting and advisory services is very unlikely. Most Brokerages REQUIRE the agent to bring in a minimum of 3% on a transaction. Under the new rules, you the buyer will likely be on the hook for that.
WHAT WE DO MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Simply put, we protect our clients best interest. Our relationship with our clients is a fiduciary role, which means it's based on loyalty, confidentiality, skill, honesty and complete disclosure.

- Matching our clients with the best mortgage lender, title company or closing attorney in your local area
