I don't mean I can get you the house myself but I could get you a trustworthy agent in any state you want. We have a relocation dept that's the 3rd largest in the nation. We help people relocate to anywhere in the world, plus they'll help you find anything you need associated with the purchase of a home. Unless you got someone reccomended, i'd only go with someone who came reccomended. I could get you an agent in timbuktu if you so desired but I ain't forcing myself on you just putting it out there for future reference for anyone who needs help.
Either way if you have any questions about something or something your agent did you are unsure of, or if you think your agent might be doin something shady, feel free to ask me about anything. Or if you need something from a plumber to a inspector and your agent cant help. I'd also reccomend a lawyer who specializes in RE transactions, many lawyers have no clue about the newer laws which may save you money at closing.
Some laywers dont even know about the disclosure form payments. Beasically when a seller is signing with an agent, or even selling on their own. They are given a disclosure form, where they are supposed to list "to the best of their knowlege" conditions of the house. The statute of limitations is 6 years, so if they list that the roof is fine and in 5 years it's leaking they can call you up and bother you. The seller has the choice of filling it out, or paying the buyer 500 dollars at closing and not filling it out. 9 out of 10 people pay the 500, this applies in NY I am not sure about the DOS laws in other states.
Also the #1 main thing to know, agents have to tell you this upon first contact as a buyer, unless they are your buyers agent. They do not work for you, so they really have no obligation to you other than to be as honest as they can about the property and to show you any house you wanna see within 24 hours. Many buyers think the agent is on their side or works for them, this is completely not true. They will not most times help you with anything, unless they are a good agent which 80% are not. An agents fiduciary responsibilities only apply to the seller of the house. I don't reccomend a buyers agent cause its pretty steep, but be sure to get a lawyer asap. I know a very good lawyer in jersey who I work with, his family actually owns the company I work for so he knows everything about the business. He works in NY but lives and also works in Jersey.
Like I said you can always ask me as well cause most agents wanna close and dont care about buyers cause they're not bound by law to do so, they're breads comin from the seller.
