Utah Real Estate Agents
Real Estate agents facilitate the real estate transaction. They provide great value by helping market and sell homes. They protect their contracts by helping them understand the compicated real estate transactions. Real Estate Agents who belong to the National Association of Realtors, are called Realtors. They pledge to comply to a higher level of ethics and standards than one who just gets a real estate licence.
For residential home sales their are essentially two types of real estate agents: Buyers Agents, and Listings Agents.
Buyer Specialists
Buyers Agent - The buying Realtor helps home buyers find the most appropriate home on the market at the best possible price. There is usually no fee to use a buyers agent as their commission is paid by the seller as negotiated with the listing agent. A buyers agent helps locate the best suitable home, negotiate the transaction, and ensures that buyers rights and earnest money are protected. They help arrange home inspections, write up contracts, and follow up with lenders and title companies to ensure that everything goes in when it needs to. When you use a discount broker like Zip Realty, you actually get cash back when you buy your house.
Listing Specialists
Listing Agent - The listing Realtor represents the seller. There job is to make sure they market the home and that the seller makes maximum profit. In Utah, listing commissions usually range between 4, 5, 6, and 7%, However, these fees are negotiable and it is a good idea to shop around, interview Realtors and get on what the Realtor will charge. Some Realtors offer outstanding discounts.
