No. It only applies to the buying and selling property transactions. For rental services, I will charge half of the one-month rent if I represent one party.

As a buyer, you typically do not pay my 0.88% commission directly. This commission is generally covered by the seller in a real estate transaction.
As your dedicated real estate agent, my priority is to provide you with the best possible service and value. If a seller offers a commission greater than 0.88% for my services, I would still honor my commitment to you, the buyer, and keep only 0.88% as my commission.
The home buying process involves several steps: getting pre-approved for a mortgage, finding the right property, making an offer, and completing inspections. Afterward, you will finalize the mortgage, sign the paperwork, and get the keys. It is essential to have guidance through each step to ensure a smooth and successful purchase.
When making an offer, it is important to consider the market conditions and the property’s value. Consult with your real estate agent to craft a competitive offer. Include necessary contingencies like financing and inspections. Always be prepared to negotiate. This ensures your offer stands out while protecting your interests.
Finding the right home starts with understanding your needs and budget. I will guide you through the process, showing you options that match your criteria. Together, we will explore neighborhoods, amenities, and property features. My goal is to help you find a home where you can see yourself living happily for years to come.
