Selecting a Real Estate Agent

Much like selecting a lawyer, the choice you make regarding your real estate agent can affect your life significantly. A good one can get you lots of room and a great view, a bad one a cramped, dirty cell. Selecting a good real estate agent is one of the most important choices you can make when purchasing a new home. You want someone who understands what you're looking for - who has the time and capability to keep your best interest at heart. Your real estate agent is your home buying advocate. Accunet can assist you in selecting the perfect realtor for you. And like dominoes, Accunet's streamlined processes and proactive communication make the realtor's job easier, which gets you into your ideal house in less time and for less money.

There is a difference between realtors. A dual agent has an obligation to treat both parties fairly, but has a higher degree of loyalty to the seller. For example, there is no assumed confidentiality withthe buyer. If the buyer tells the dual agent something about their strategy - like their top dollar - the dual agent has to give that information to the seller. On the other hand, a buyer's agent has strict loyalty to the buyer. Their contractual obligation is to assist the buyer in obtaining a property at the absolute most favorable terms to the buyer.

Once you select a realtor, you and your realtor will be set up with one of Accunet's expert mortgage advisers. Meet our loan consultants to see how much you'll love working with us.
