What is Agency?

A real estate agent is similar to a player or talent agent who represents your favorite athlete or movie star. When you choose Perfect Place to represent you, you are hiring an experienced professional to represent you and your interests for a consequential transaction in your life. We will represent and guide you through the whole process with care and expertise.

AGENCY IS GOVERNED BY NEW YORK LAW

As a part of hiring your agent, you will sign an agency disclosure statement. The disclosure stipulates that Perfect Place will act in your interests. As a part of our agency relationship we owe you the following fiduciary responsibilities:

loyalty
confidentiality
disclosure
obedience
reasonable care
accountability

DUAL AGENCY DISCUSSION

It is possible that a property you are interested in will be listed by Perfect Place. In this case, we would be representing both you and the seller. You have several options for how to handle such a circumstance. It is best to discuss your options for this possible circumstance in advance.

Our Obligations to You

When you hire us as your agent, we we will guide you through every step of the process.

We know that your home purchase is important and consequential. We will take the time to understand your wish list, and identify properties that meet the criteria that are most important to you, including price, features and location.

We will arrange and accompany you on property tours, and provide insight about neighborhoods, market trends and individual homes.

When you find a home that feels right, we will formulate a strategy to negotiate a price and terms that are acceptable to you.

Although we do not represent the interests of the home

seller, we will deal honestly, ethically and fairly with them.

Throughout the process and even after your closing, we make our extensive trusted network of attorneys, mortgage professionals, home inspectors, contractors and other professionals available to you. Our network is your network for life.

Your Obligations

For us to be effective on your behalf, we ask you to be honest about your goals and property criteria. Please communicate in a timely manner, express your objectives directly, and provide accurate financial information. Our goal is to create a positive experience for you, and being forthright and responsive with us will help us to deliver you the highest level service possible.

Our Fees and How We Get Paid

OUR FEES ARE CONTINGENT

We don’t get paid unless you complete your purchase transaction.

FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE

Agent fees are negotiable and are not set by law, by the Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors or by Perfect Place as a matter of policy. Each Perfect Place agent is responsible for negotiating their own fees.

PAYMENT METHODS

Fees may be paid in one of several ways. You may pay fees directly to Perfect Place at the time of your closing.

You may also choose to bundle your fees into any purchase offer that you make, rolling the payment into your mortgage. Many, but not all sellers in our market are offering some amount of buyer’s compensation, and may cover some or all of your agent fees. Your agent can tell you what is being offered by each seller prior to formulating any offer.

You may also split your fee and pay a portion by cash directly and roll the remainder of the payment into your mortgage. We are happy to accommodate whatever method is most convenient for you.

FEES STIPULATED IN BUYERS AGREEMENT

When you hire Perfect Place as your agency, we will enter into a standard buyer’s agreement that will clearly stipulate our fee arrangement.
