Online Credit Report
Do you know what your credit report says? If you're planning to purchase a home or apply for a loan, you should.
Did you know you can save money buying without an agent?
Real estate agents tend to inflate property
sales prices - that you, the buyer, pay for. Consider, if you and the seller
are not using an agent, then with no commissions, there is plenty
of room to adequately negotiate a fair price. This could be
thousands of dollars saved compared to an agent represented sale.
Furthermore, don't use an agent to buy any property, and you can immediately
negotiate the sales price down 3% when there's a sellers agent involved.
Since there's no agent representing you, there is no need for the full
commission. On an average home sale, that could lower a 30 year mortgage by
$40,000 or more. Is a real estate agent worth that much money to you?
Last year, over 1 million homes were sold without an agent or broker.
That's 20% of all home sales in the U.S. Over 1 million sellers and
1 million buyers negotiated real estate without an agent - you can too!
