FAQs

WHAT IS A BUYER'S AGENT/BROKER?

Several practice changes followed NAR’s settlement agreement resolving claims brought by home sellers related to broker compensation.

• Consumers can broadly think about the changes in two categories: 
• First, written buyer agreements are now required and must meet certain criteria. Buyers and their agents will need to reach an agreement regarding how the agent will be compensated for their services and put it in writing prior to touring a home.
• Second, offers of compensation (when a seller or a seller’s agent shares compensation with a buyer’s agent) can no longer be shared on Multiple Listing Services (MLS). MLSs are local marketplaces used by both buyer and seller agents to share information about homes for sale. Offers of compensation are still an option but must be communicated off-MLS if a seller chooses to make an offer available.
  

WILL I HAVE TO PAY COMMISSION USING A BUYER'S AGENT?

When you work directly with The John Weber Team we carefully go through the area you have an interest in. We search for the seller's paying a commission to the Buyer Brokerage, so you don't have to.

HOW DO WE GET STARTED?

We would suggest a confidential call to discuss what you are looking for and what time line you might have. We have to make sure it is a fit. The John Weber Team prides itself with working all types of clients. Everyone has their own set of challenges.

DO I HAVE TO SIGN ANYTHING?

If the two parties agree, you will have to sign a Buyer's Agent form. It can be for a day, or a year. It depends on the circumstance. But, looking at homes, you must sign the Buyer's Agent form.
