ABOUT BERKSHIRE BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES HOMESERVICES FLORIDA FLORIDA NETWORK NETWORK REALTY REALTY ABOUT

Agency Relationship There are two primary agency relationships in the state of Florida. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty believes that Single Agency provides the highest level of client service and representation afforded by Florida law. Here’s the difference and why it should matter to you.

1. SINGLE AGENCY

The highest degree of accountability comes with Single Agency. As a Single Agent, the REALTOR® or Broker enters a fiduciary relationship and owes complete allegiance to the seller or buyer. By law, the agent must work to achieve the best terms for their principal. There are four key benefits a buyer or seller receives with Single Agency that don’t apply to Transaction Brokerage: Loyalty, Confidentiality, Obedience and Full Disclosure.

Simply put, REALTORS® who are Single Agents work to serve the best interests of their principal.

2. TRANSACTION BROKERAGE

A Transaction Broker is the default role of a Broker or REALTOR® in Florida and does not represent the buyer or seller, but instead acts as a neutral go-between to help both parties complete a home sale, operating with limited confidentiality. While a Single Agent acting as a buyer’s or seller’s agent has a duty to act in the best interest of the party they represent, a Transaction Broker is required only to act in a way that is honest and fair to both parties while disclosing all known material facts, but is not permitted to negotiate or offer opinions to buyers or sellers.

TRANSITION TO TRANSACTION BROKERAGE Florida law requires that when a single brokerage firm is involved with both the listing side and the selling side of a transaction, the professionals involved must work in a Transaction Agency relationship.

WHAT ALL OF THIS MEANS TO YOU You are a seller working with a REALTOR® and your home is listed for $290,000. Your REALTOR® calls a brokerage firm that is working with a buyer who is interested in your home to find out when the buyer plans to make an offer. During discussion, the buyer’s broker mentions that the buyer is already pre-qualified up to $300,000 and has lost out on two homes already so they are very eager to submit their offer and are hoping it works out.

prevent disclosure that the seller will accept a price less than the asking or listed price, that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer, or of the motivation of any party for selling or buying property…”

This means that a Transaction Broker would be prohibited from sharing information such as this with you, even though it would and could help your negotiating position.

HOW THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP YOU If you are working with a Single Agent REALTOR®: Because full disclosure and loyalty are required, this information will be shared with you since it will be very beneficial to your negotiating position.

If you are working with a Transaction Broker: Limited confidentiality applies to both parties in the transaction, therefore, “limited confidentiality will ABOUT BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES FLORIDA NETWORK REALTY

The Trusted Advisor Approach There are two primary agency relationships in the state of Florida. Single Agency provides the highest level of client service and representation afforded by Florida law.

The Advisory approach is very unique in our state, as most of the industry has pivoted to a transactional focus.

What is means for you: • • • •

A fiduciary relationship where your objective is our objective - you have an advocate.

The ability for us to advise and guide you through negotiations.

A more open sharing of information that would be of importance to you.

The ability to transition to a transaction brokerage relationship in the event a Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty agent brings the buyer.

The Home Selling Process

You: The Most Important Piece You have the most important role in the home selling process. Here are some ways your participation contributes to a successful sale:

• Maintain the property in ready-to-show condition.

• Be flexible in scheduling showings and make sure a lockbox is used for ease of showing.

• If approached directly by a buyer who is not represented by a real estate professional, please contact me. Do not allow them into the property unescorted. This is for your safety and to ensure buyers are qualified.

• Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and prescription medications.

• If possible, leave the home when your property is shown.

• Securely contain pets or take them with you for showings.

• Be cautious about saying anything to buyers or their REALTORS® that could weaken your negotiation position, especially regarding price or your urgency to sell.

• Let me know of any suggestions you have - no one knows your home better than you!

• Collect the business cards of REALTORS® who preview and show your home and provide them to me for follow-up.

• Let me know of any change in the property’s condition that would need to be disclosed to potential buyers.

• Be available to review the list price and condition of your property if it has not sold in a reasonable period of time.

CURB APPEAL • What is your first impression of the home and yard area?

THE DANGERS OF OVERPRICING A HOME:

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE PROPERTY VALUE

FACTORS THAT DO NOT INFLUENCE PROPERTY VALUE

• Fewer buyers are attracted and fewer offers are received.

• Marketing time is prolonged, and initial “Just Listed” momentum is lost.

• Property attracts “lookers” and helps competing homes look better by comparison.

• If a property does sell above true market value, it may not appraise and the buyers may not be able to secure a loan.

• The property may eventually sell below market value.

THE HOME SELLING PROCESS

How To Beat The Competition Provide peace of mind to prospective buyers and enhance the saleability of your property.

WRITTEN DISCLOSURE A written property disclosure statement will give buyers a clear understanding of this property and the surrounding neighborhood. Include a list of enhancements and repairs made to your property along with contractor warranty and contact information.

PRESENT THE POSSIBILITIES For “fixer uppers” or properties that have expansion possibilities, provide suggested enhancements, design options, and cost estimates to give buyers a visual understanding of the home’s potential.

HOME WARRANTY A home warranty can give prospective buyers peace of mind by providing repair-or-replacement coverage of major home operating

systems and appliances.

PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTIONS Professional inspections, such as structural, roof, termite, and whole house inspections will reveal the current condition of the property and allow you to correct any issues prior to marketing the property.

CREATE BUY & EYE APPEAL Present your property to create a positive, emotional response in buyers. Each time an appointment is made, ensure the home is staged for the best showing possible. Turn on lights, open the doors between rooms to give an inviting feel, open the drapes and remove clutter.
