We're Different WE'RE CHANGING THE WAY PEOPLE BUY REAL ESTATE
When buying an MLS property you are going to pay the cost of an agent either way because it's built into the sales price. Do you want to pay to have someone work FOR you or AGAINST you? IT SHOULDN'T COST YOU ANY MORE TO USE AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT IT SHOULD ACTUALLY COST YOU LESS! Two real estate commissions are built into the sales price of a home sold by a Real Estate company. Usually half is given to the real estate company who brings a buyer and the other half is kept by the company who lists the property. If the company who lists the property also brings the buyer, then they keep both the listing and buying commissions. Most Real Estate firms offer the same fee to a Buyer's Agent so the seller is paying our fee on your behalf. Try us and see!
When you find a home you would like to visit, call (800) 252-8937 or call Melissa directly at (617) 875-0990. Or just email us and we will quickly set up a personal tour with you. If you want to buy it, we will give you a detailed history of the property and show you what it's really worth. Then we will negotiate the property on your behalf, find a really good home inspector for you, renegotiate any home inspection issues, and work with an attorney to make sure there are protective clauses in the Purchase and Sale agreement. We're on your side at no extra cost!
