| Julie Chung Broker, e-PRO, Realtor®, SRES, TRC Jane Allen Purtell & Asscoiates "Your Entrusted Real Estate Advisor" |
| The Difference of Having Juile Chung as Your Exclusive Buyer Agent Entrust a professional to represent "YOU" when purchasing a home. Seller Agents and On-Site Agents represent their clients and not "YOU". It is in their interest and duty to serve their clients. They will not provide you a service that you rightly deserve. "YOU" will NOT be their primary concern when they write a contract, negotiate (if any), and advise you on procedures on purchasing your new home. I will represent "YOU" and "YOUR INTERESTS". "YOU" will be my number one priority. I will take you step-by-step and explain all procedures to you. I will research, give you a thorough analysis, and advise you through the decision process of purchasing your dream home. I will take the time to ensure that you understand each paperwork you sign to make your transaction complete. |
| Time is Money I will directly email you homes that meet your specific requirements so that you will not have to spend endless hours doing property searches on the internet. You will be the first to know when a home, that meets your criteria, comes out on the market. I will help you filter through the homes. I will research the history of the home, look at the elevation and location of the home - backs to main road, new freeway or road extension pending, next to EMF towers, etc. I do not aimlessly drive you from home to home and waste your time. Time is money and I respect your time. Thus, I research all the homes of your research and you decide if the home is "worthy" to be seen. A home is an Investment. If you cannot sell it after you buy it, it is not a "worthy" investment. This process eliminates wasting "Your" time looking at homes that would not be a wise investment for you. Remember always that purchasing a home is an investment. Thus more the reason to have a Buyer Agent working for YOU. I will make all needed appointments. I, or my team member, will be in attendance at each inspection, meeting(s) and at the closing table to ensure that "You" are represented at all times. The Service does not stop at the closing table. The excellent individualized customer service you had during the real estate process will be a life long dedication to you, your family and friends. |

| Most Asked Question: If I don't use an agent in buying a home, won't I be saving money since I do not have to pay the Buyer Agent commission? This is a very common belief of many home buyers. However, the true answer to this question is, "In most cases, No!" Most homes that are listed For Sale with an agent have a signed Listing Agreement. The home owner hires a Listing Agent for an agreed commission rate - #%. From the agreed upon commission rate (#%), the Listing Agent then designates the % of commission the Selling Agent (Buyer Agent) will receive from the total commission. YES, even in New Home Communities. Thus, in most real estate transactions, the Seller pays both Listing and Selling Agent. Most Buyers are not charged a fee; rate; commission to have representation for their home purchase. If the Buyers do not have an agent, the Listing Agreement has already been signed between the Listing Agent and Seller. Sellers already agreed to pay the Listing Agent the full commission of #% and it was the Listing Agent that designated the % to be given to the Buyer Agent. If there is no Buyer Agent, the Listing Agent gets 100% of the commission. Meanwhile, the Buyers are thinking that they got the Buyer Agent commission. False. The truth is that the Buyer bought a home with NO representation and has a false sense of savings. Most importantly, Buyers bought a home with no professional assistance in researching the homes SOLD, Contingent and Pending in the area. Also, the history of the home list price, Days on Market, etc. Details that are vital in negotiating and getting leverage for your offer. Yes, city, county and popular real estate sites do post past sales in the area, however, in TEMPO MLS (a membership website), agents are required to disclose financial concession, etc. This information affects the true SOLD price of the homes that are NOT disclosed in other websites. I have seen financial concessions of over $10,000 on new and re-sale homes. I personally believe that when buying a new home from a Builder, it is MORE important to have an agent because Builders are always giving out incentives. TEMPO MLS is where real estate agents and appraisers go to for thorough research and analysis. Buyers do not have access to this without the assistance of an agent. TEMPO MLS require the Listing Agents to disclose this information. This information can be worth thousands of dollars. I have seen $50,000 in FREE Upgrades being given by Builders one month and then in the following month, only $10,000 being given. Don't you want to know what others got so you can get the same or even better benefits? (Remember, the Listing Agent works for the Seller.) So the True Question is: Why buy a home without representation when you can have a professional real estate agent that will take care of YOU? Plus, in most cases, Sellers pay the Buyer Agent and Buyers don't. |
