Viewing Homes 

In 2024, the vast majority of homes sold in the United States were listed on Multiple Listing Services (MLS). According to the National Association of REALTORS®, only 6% of home sales were For Sale By Owner (FSBO) transactions, meaning approximately 94% of homes were sold with the assistance of real estate agents, typically through MLS listings.

How Can You Preview Homes in Person?

While online tools—virtual tours, maps, photos, and descriptions—make home shopping more convenient, nothing compares to seeing a home in person. Once you’ve done your online research and are ready to start touring homes, you have a few options:

1. Explore Homes Without an Agent

Some homes can be viewed without an agent. You can check out:

Open Houses – No appointment needed! Walk in and explore homes at your own pace. Realtor.com or Zillow.com

For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) Homes – Directly contact sellers and schedule viewings. ByOwner or ForSaleByOwner

2. Engage one of our $10K Guarantee Agents to Show You Properties

Many buyers use platforms like Zillow or other real estate websites to connect with agents and schedule tours. Why not hire an agent with a $10K factor of confidence?

A Smarter Way to Shop for Homes

Instead of working with a random agent, choose one who backs their services with a $10K Satisfaction Guarantee. 

On our platform, experienced agents are willing to guarantee their services, Why?

  1. They have been in business long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
  2. They care, they listen, they perform.
  3. They stand behind their services.
  4. They want to grow their business.
    • They want referrals.
  5. They want the satisfaction of helping buyers find their dream homes. 

What You Can Expect from Our Agents:

  • No Pushy Sales Tactics: Our agents are friendly, professional, and pressure-free.
  • Helpful Information: They’ll provide insights about properties, neighborhoods, and real estate in general and answer any questions you have.
  • Buyer Broker Agreement to Show: This agrement provides a limited arrangement for previewing homes, specifically allowing property showings without requiring the buyer to commit to hiring an agent. It’s similar to test-driving a car or assessing an agent before making a decision.
  • Buyer Broker Exclusive Employment Agreements: This comprehensive agreement outlines the terms of the exclusive relationship between the buyer and broker, detailing services, compensation, and the duration of the agreements. Like buying the car/agent, with options to define specific terms of employment.
  • Commission Transparency: Agent commissions or compensation are no longer permitted to be displayed on the MLS. Agents are required to confirm commission arrangements with the seller prior to, or at the time of, presenting offers. It is the agent’s responsibility to negotiate commission terms directly with the seller’s agent. Commission agreements will be documented using either a Seller’s Compensation Addendum (SCA) or a Compensation Agreement Between Brokers (CABB). If the seller does not provide sufficient compensation to cover the percentage or dollar amount agreed upon in the Buyer Broker Agreement, the buyer may be contractually obligated to pay the difference or negotiate the terms directly with their agent.
  • Experienced Professionals: Our agents have been around the block more than a few times. They know the business.
  • Personalized Services: Our agents are committed to providing personalized service that aligns with your needs. Their focus goes beyond just earning commissions—if that were their sole priority, they wouldn’t be willing to negotiate them.
