Retain A Home 4Sale, Inc. to Represent You, Exclusively, in
the Purchase of Your Choice of Real Estate.

Before you embark on the complex
journey toward Home Buying Learn the Rules of the Road. Most prudent home buyers engage a real estate agent prior
to actually looking at homes. In
Virginia, Real Estate Agents can Represent You Exclusively (Single Agency). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know
that when you go home buying you want 100% representation from your Real Estate Professional 100% of the time. No Changing
Hats!. However,
here is a word of caution... In
the event you want to buy one of the homes that the real estate company your buyer agent has "Listed" your sales
person may ask you to accept a Dual Agency Relationship, This is when the sales associate tries to Represent Both
You and a Seller in the same transaction (Dual Agency). Can one agent serve the best interest of two opposing sides?
Buying a home is no different than any other transaction; the Seller wants the highest possible price and best terms and the
Buyer wants the lowest possible price and best terms. |

Buyer Beware! A Dual Agency can legally exist when the Buyer and Seller give
their informed consent to such an arrangement. Dual Agents are supposedly able to represent
both parties interests, but are not allowed to counsel or advise either Buyer client or Seller client in the even that counsel
or advice would adversely affect the other. In other words, dual agents are not allowed to negotiate for either side and must,
by agreement, remain neutral; But they do know all the financial information and Motives of both sides. Could this knowledge
ever be used against a Buyer to drive the purchase price up or erode a Buyer's terms? After all, If the price goes
up the agent and the company receive higher commissions! And by the way, if the dual agent doesn't provide the same
level of services to either party, as originally agreed, is the fee the same? All too often Buyers and Sellers receive
discount services at full price. An
alternative solution in the event you choose NOT to accept the severe limitations of service that Dual Agency imposes,
You could have the Company's Principal Broker Appoint or Designate a different sales associate to work with you (Designated
Agency). Once again this form of Agency requires your informed consent. Designated Agency also has some
limitations. One of the caveats of designated agency is that the sales person who has been designated to work with
you may have previously acquired information about the seller's financial situation and/or motives for selling.
This sales person would, by law, be unable to share this perhaps useful information with you. A Home 4Sale, Inc. highly recommends
that when you want to stay out of hot water engage a Real Estate Professional to help you buy a home and insist on Exclusive
Buyer Agency. 100% Buyer Representation. Exclusive Buyer Representatives are
best. Not only are they required by law to represent your interest rather than the seller's, they do not have the potential
for conflicts of interest you find with ordinary agents who work with buyers and Sellers in the same at real estate Transaction.
(Get a copy of our guide for home buyers for more information regarding agency relationships and how to select a real estate
professional. Click on the "Contact Us" link on this page.) A Home 4Sale, Inc. Exclusive Buyer Representatives compile sales records on recent transactions involving
homes similar to the home you are contemplating buying and make recommendations regarding pricing. If they find that it is
not correctly priced, they can suggest a more realistic price and together you plan an offer strategy that best suits
your goals. Once your offer is placed into contract form, your Exclusive Buyer Representative represents your interests
alone in negotiations with the seller or seller's representative. A Home 4Sale, Inc. strongly suggests a home inspection. A home inspector checks the house
before you make the final decision to purchase the property. A home inspector makes sure that all the major systems in
the house are functioning properly. This includes, but in not limited to, the plumbing, heating, cooling electrical, and roofing
systems. A home inspector can also check for sound structural integrity and proper grading of a yard to ensure correct
water drainage. Working out
an agreement with the seller for the repair or replacement of items noted in a home inspection is where an Exclusive Buyer
Representative can save a home buyer aggravation and money. Helping home buyers get the most from lender mortgage programs is another way your A Home 4Sale,
