"When I was ready to sell my house, I didn't know how difficult it would be. The company I was with could not find anyone and really did not seem to be much help at all, but when I called Jim Everhart to ask for advice on what to do in order to sell my house he was very pleasant and friendly and ready to help me with my property. Once I made the final decision to sell, we put it on the market one day and the next day, Jim was receiving calls. Jim walked me through everything step by step and the sale of my house went smoothly." If I am ever in need of this type of service again, Jim Everhart is the person I want to help me. " Cathy A.

About Appraisals >Best Interests of the Buyer
Who represents the homebuyer in the transaction? The most common scenario is for homebuyers to purchase a home with the help of the seller's listing agent. In this case, known as "dual agent representation," the real estate agent assists both the sellers and the buyers. However, it is also possible for the buyers to ask another realtor to represent their interests exclusively, acting as the "buyer's agent," a service which is available at no additional cost to the homebuyer.
Any licensed real estate agent can act as your buyer's agent, helping you to locate and look at properties in your price range. However, if that real estate agent works for the same brokerage that is listing a particular property, dual agency or designated agent rules will then apply. The buyer's agent will advise the buyer if issues arise such as termite damage or significant material defects appearing on the home inspection report. If the home appraisal comes in at less than the asking price, the agent will represent the buyer's interest, working with the seller and the lender to negotiate a satisfactory resolution.
