buyer: Thank You for the Referrals!
- 01/12/08 03:53 PM
I want to thank all my family, friends and past clients who have referred family and friends to me. There is nothing better than helping a friend of a friend. As the Salt Lake real estate market slows back to its more normal rate, I would like your help in spreading the news that homebuyers can be represented by an agent who works on their side of the real estate transaction. Exclusive Buyer's Agents don't list properties or practice "dual agency." We work for the homebuyer only. Just as most other agents work to get the highest price and best terms … (0 comments)
buyer: The Truth About "Buyer's Guides"
- 10/20/07 06:25 PM
Are You Missing The "HOT" Listings?If you're relying on the "Buyer's Guides" that are distributed in grocery store racks to find your home, you will likely find that the only homes still available are the "leftovers." It can take up to 45 days for some "Buyers Guides" to be compliled, printed and distributed. In Utah's market today, that means you will miss out on the best homes. Nice homes, priced fairly (called "Hot Listings") usually sell quickly, often within a few days. Thus, by the time you see them, most of the good homes are already gone. These so-caled "Buyer's Guides" also don't really … (3 comments)
buyer: Your Credit Might Not Be As Bad As You Think
- 05/14/07 05:00 AM
Many buyers in the Salt Lake City, Utah area have been unsure of their standing in the credit department. This has led them to agree to pay a higher interest rate, convinced that they should, when in reality, their credit may not have been low enough to merit the higher rate. Those who believe their credit score is excellent are often correct. Many who are unsure are often surprised to find out that their credit actually is still great or excellent. Some don't understand how scores are calculated or they may have had a late payment or two a while back. This usually isn't … (1 comments)

buyer: The wrong mortgage can cost thousands of dollars in needless fees, interest and other costs
- 05/08/07 10:17 AM
The wrong mortgage can cost thousands of dollars in needless fees, interest and other costs.Many lenders have a handful of loan types that they use with almost all of their customers. You may qualify for special programs, but never hear of them. Many lenders use the loans that are most similar to what the Buyer is familiar with, but which provides the lender with the highest yield or fees (the loan that will put the most money in their pocket...) Others will find out what your "hot-button" is: lowest interest rate, lowest fees, lowest payment (to name a few). They will quote you … (2 comments)
buyer: WHO pays the commissions (and other fees)?
- 04/02/07 07:40 AM
This is sure to spark some debate. I am in the camp that believes that broker's fees and/or commissions are paid "from the proceeds of the transaction." On the one hand, the Seller often contracts with a Listing Brokerage to pay a specific commission. Often, that commission includes a co-op fee for a Buyer's Agent. At Settlement, the Seller is often charged those fees. But in most cases, it was the Buyer who paid the Seller an agreeable price allowing the Seller to cover those fees. So, it could be said that it is the Buyer who gives the Seller the money to pay … (4 comments)
