How To Buy A Home In Nashville

Buyer Info

Remember, there is never a fee for having an agent on your side.

Our commissions are paid wholly by the seller!

Traditionally, Realtors have represented only Sellers in a real estate transaction. (Did you know that?!?) During the 1980′s, states across the country directed that agents must disclose to the Buyers that they legally represent Sellers. Buyers began asking, “Who represents me?” The result was the birth of a new service within the real estate industry called Buyer Agency.

Think of it this way, the seller has a written contract protecting him in the sale of his home- it’s part of his listing agreement. The listing agent for a property is legally bound to protect the interests, rights, motivation, and equity stance of their clients. As a buyer, you need and deserve the same protection. Show loyalty your agent by committing to the process by working with a dedicated Buyer’s Agent. As an official client your Buyer’s Agent takes on legal responsibilities to you. In short they include:

Maintaining the buyer’s confidentiality as to motives and price
Promising to never enter into a conflict of interest
Disclose all adverse facts to which the agent has actual knowledge
Provide services in honesty and good faith
Obey all lawful instructions
Schedule all requested showings
Negotiate all offers and counter-offers
Answer all questions within the scope the agent’s expertise
Advise as to procedures and steps needed to advance to a successful closing

The buying process can be complex and tricky. This can be particularly true for first time home buyers and for those relocating to a new area. Remember, you are not alone. Thousands of people just like you buy homes across America everyday. Having solid real estate representation is the best way to ensure that you have all the information you need to move ahead with what will be your largest investment.
