Buying a new home: THE LISTING AGENT REPRESENTS THE SELLER

Many buyers assume that by contacting the listing agent directly, that they will save money. This is a mistake! However, putting together a team of professionals that work exclusively for you is the best way to protect yourself.

Since it is the seller’s listing contract contains the commission which must be paid regardless of the buyer’s representation, it is best to have your own team of professionals to assist you through the home buying process. To further illustrate the point, please understand that working directly with the listing agent WILL NOT save you money because the seller has already agreed to pay a certain percentage.

Not having a buyer’s agent simply means that you have NO ONE representing you in the transaction.

According to Georgia law, without the benefit of a written buyer’s agency agreement, all agents represent the seller. Without the agency agreement, all agents are charged with protecting the interests of the seller and cannot provide information or advice that could be seen as detrimental to the seller’s position.

Buying a new home: REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS

Who Pays the Commission?

Commissions are always a concern to both buyers and sellers within real estate transactions. While the conversation tends to be more extensive with sellers, buyers need to know that the SELLER PAYS THE COMMISSION because it is part of their listing agreement. If we encounter a situation that falls outside of this norm, we will be sure to let you know.

Momentum Real Estate Group is committed to full disclosure, if you have a question about commissions, please ask! We are happy to go over the details with you!
