Effective August 17, 2024, the National Association of Realtors requires all agents to have a signed buyer representation agreement before showing properties, offering advice, or preparing offers. At EXP Realty, we lead the industry with our simple, easy-to-understand 2-page agreement.
The agreement must specify upfront:
5. Offer & Negotiation
When you choose a property to make an offer, we will conduct a thorough market analysis so you have data about fair market value, recent sales, market time, price changes, seller motivation, property condition, and other market conditions. Objective data will help us formulate an informed offer you feel comfortable with.
6. Contract & Escrow
When you and the seller have agreed to the price and terms, your accepted offer becomes a purchase contract and escrow will be opened. The purpose of escrow is to hold the earnest deposit, research title history, and reconcile loan payoffs, property taxes, HOA fees, liens, etc.
