Comments (13)I am a Realtor and can give you a little advise even though I dont know your state laws. First of all never ever sign anything unless you are 100% comfortable with it. What I would recommend is talk to a few LOCAL agents and "interview" them. See which ones listen to what you want, are responsive and have personalities that you are able to work with and enjoy. Something to the effect of making a call and seeing how long they take to send you some listing sheets and what homes they are for and meet them to see one or two of these. Then pick ONE (the one who found you the homes you liked best- meaning they listened to you and whose personality you enjoyed)of them dont keep working with a bunch of agents it's just not fair to us and you will not get the best service. Even if they have you sign a contract at least you can be comfortable with them now- I personally would never sign a buyers agency contract on the first meeting. Also remember contracts are changeable so if you want to write in something about FSBO's and if you are responsible for payment put in a number that you think is fair but remember its not fair to them if they drive you all over the place spend hours and hours on you and then you take the education they have given you and use it to cut them out of the deal. Good luck!...See Moreqld real estate follow up
Comments (3)thanks dee, yes pretty bad up this way but by what i read on that BLOG site it's getting that way with vic realty as well.......... reckon the sooner homeowners get together and take back their rite to sell their properties in a fair market place the better things will be for all concerned............ how many businesses do you know that can lobby the gov' to have laws that allow them to have immoral & apparently dishonest clauses hidden in documents that you need to sign to sell or finalise the sale of your property........... all i can add is for those laid back homeowners who say this can't happen to me, i got news for you and when it does look out, you got nowhere to go to get a fair hearing because you unknowingly signed that right way.............. len...See MoreReal Estate Lawyer
Comments (6)I'd like to think you could find someone to do that for $300 - $400 assuming the build contract isn't 40 pages. In the middle of a build (-ish) - you are REALLY SMART to do this. Contracts are NEVER written to protect you since the developer is drafting them. Give them the instructions that weedyacres said above and then consider sending back some redlines. While this is rather emotional for you - it's also a huge investment and likely the single largest business transaction you will ever make (although my husband says that's our marriage, but I digress). AND - it's TOTALLY a business transaction for the builder. Coming at it from a more legal / protective standpoint can only give you peace of mind and might even save you thousands in the future. GREAT IDEA - DO IT. It's MUCH easier to "negotiate" any of those terms now......See MoreMaddie
