Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will you charge me something to buy a home?
Normally, we don’t charge clients to use our buyer's agency services. That’s because the seller will normally offer us a commission on the home you buy.

Do you provide sellers with full service?
Yes, we provide the full suite of service components that are vital to the home sales process. This includes paperwork completion, home value advisory services, marketing exposure, contract negotiations, signage and lockboxes, and managing the closing process.

What is MLS?
MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, is a computerized database of homes currently for sale. It is a member based service available only to regional members of The National Association of REALTORS. MLS is the most frequently used tool to find homes for buyers. It is regularly used by real estate agents to find potential matches for their buyers. As soon as a new listing is entered, it is immediately made available to thousands of agents.

Who will show my home to potential buyers?
We will show your home to prospective buyers.

What’s the difference between a condominium and a co-op?
When you own a condominium, it’s like owning a home – you receive title to the real estate, pay property taxes and common charges; real estate taxes are tax deductible, though common charges are not. Earlier, there was no approval process required for condominiums, but that has changed now. Most condo subletting policies are more lenient compared to co-op policies, apart from being a better choice for investors.

When you purchase in a co-op, you’re buying shares of stock in the entity that owns the building. A proprietary giving you the right to occupy the apartment lease will be issued to you. You will have to pay monthly maintenance charges to cover the upkeep of common areas, salaries, and agent fees, in addition to real estate taxes and interest on underlying building mortgage.

When should I start seriously considering financing?
You should seriously consider financing as soon as you start searching for a property to purchase.
