Buying a Home in Lancaster County


 

 

 

The Tradition of all Real Estate Agency was to represent the Seller…
Did you know that in the past when you asked a Real Estate Agent to show you a home, that Agent had to represent the Seller?  That doesn't seem fair, does it?  It’s a little complicated to explain, but under that older traditional real estate system, all agents were legally bound to
represent the Seller and the Buyer had no representation.

Today it’s different…
Thank goodness times are changing and educated Buyers can now have a choice. That choice is called Buyers Agency. The majority of homebuyers surveyed for the National Association of Realtors said they would use a Buyer’s Agent the next time they bought a home.

Why Every Homebuyer Should Use a Buyer's Agent
As your personal representative, your Buyer's Agent shares essential information with you that you have the legal right to know.  For instance: Would the Seller accept a lower price?... the Seller's reason for selling?... how many days has the home been on the market?... how many offers have been made on the home?... etc.  Your Realtor® will be devoted to your successful purchase with terms acceptable to you.  She is a specialist in negotiating the best price on your behalf.  A Realtor® who will hold your best interests at the highest priority. 

You decide…
...
