Definitions of Working Relationships

Are you working with your Realtor as a Buyer’s Agent, Seller’s Agent or a Transaction Broker?  The distinction can be really important, yet it can also confuse first time and experienced home buyers alike.  The Colorado Real Estate Commission has the official explanation of the differences in their document titled “Brokerage Disclosure to Buyer”.  Your Realtor can (and should) provide you with a copy of this document, which you’re not required to sign.

“I was impressed with your ability to get timely information on a variety of issues such as road access, etc.  Our concerns were probably not those of the usual clients, and required more attention to details.   The ability to get answers to our myriad questions was instrumental in helping us to decide which property was suitable for us. I will be pleased to be used as a reference for your business if you so desire. “

“I bought a house in the area while living in Kansas and Mike took extra measures to see that I got all the information I needed throughout and beyond the sale. Mike was very easy to communicate with. He was always available and willing to do whatever I needed or asked. He takes advantage of the technology available to make things easier and cheaper for everyone. Mike did a very good job of searching out a variety of different homes and land that I might like.

He’s got a great attitude and personality that makes you feel right at home. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for property in the area. I have to add that he will even shovel your drive for you on closing day if it is needed! Thanks Mike! ”
