Buyer’s Agent: How it works in North Carolina

Buyer’s Agent: Are you aware of how it works in North Carolina?

When you are purchasing property and your real estate agent is representing you as “a buyer’s agent,” then your agent is representing your best interest, NOT the seller’s best interest. Your buyer’s agent must promote your best interest, be loyal to you, follow your lawful instructions, provide you with all material facts that could influence your decisions, use reasonable skill, care and diligence, and account for all monies that he/she handles for you.

You can, however, elect to work with an agent to assist you in purchasing property who is not a buyer’s agent, but then that agent will be acting as a seller’s agent, or subagent. The agent can provide many of the same services that a buyer’s agent would provide, but just remember the agent in this case would be representing the seller, NOT you, meaning the agent has a legal obligation to obtain the best price and terms for the seller, not for YOU. The agent also has an obligation to inform the seller of any information about you that would help the seller.

It’s that time of year again!  Summer is coming to a close and school will be back in session in no time. The Teacher’s Fund is also getting back in full swing and can always use your help. It’s easy to support the Teacher’s Fund with Harris Teeter’s Together in Education program. Simply link your Harris Teeter VIC card to the Teacher’s Fund – to do so, you will need this code:  6477.

 

Don’t forget all VIC cards need to be RE-LINKED for the 2013-2014 school year. Linking is easy to do with one of the following methods and has to be done each school year beginning August 1st.
The money goes towards helping local public and private kindergarten through 5th grade school teachers buy the supplies and books they so desperately need. You can learn more about Intracoastal’s Teacher’s Fund on our website and by visiting the Teacher’s Fund facebook page.

Thank you for supporting the Teacher’s Fund!
