MyTMAR Member Insight:
Getting your 2% rebate when buying a new home or working with builders is the easiest of all. Builders are very accommodating to work with. We have a special section completely devoted to New Homes. Just click on the link to find complete instructions for guaranteeing you get your rebate plus quick links to all the major builder websites.
In this step, we encourage buyers to make a short list of possible homes they found on the MLS or
any house you want to see, call the listing agent advertised and schedule a showing. When asked who is representing you, simply reply, "We don't currently have an agent, but are
considering someone to represent us."
What most realtors don’t want you to know, according to Real Estate Law, you are not legally represented by an agent until you have a written agreement with that agent. Listing agent has no claim for
any commission or compensation just for showing you a house. That means there must be a Listing Contract if you are a
seller, or a Buyer's Representation Agreement if you are a buyer. As a buyer, If you’ve signed an offer to purchase
a property with an agent, but never signed a representation agreement, then that agent is only representing you for that one property. It doesn't mean anything if you are intending to work with a
particular agent, or if you merely spoke with an agent you may consider working with.
Buyers who are considering using our cash back rebate plan, sometimes tell us they are having problems getting agents to show them properties when they find out we are their agent. The reality is, we
are not your agent until you sign a representation agreement with MyTMAR. So, if an agent asks you if you have an agent, we’ve found the most appropriate response to
be:
"We don't currently have an agent, but are considering someone to represent us."
That simple sentence gives them incentive to show you the house and it wouldn't be a shock to them if you end up choosing a different Realtor.
The secret behind this is no secret…
Most properties are listed with a 6% commission. The listing agent is guaranteed to make at least 3%. Even if you are planning on using another agent, the listing agent is obligated to show you the
house because of their 3% compensation. Also, it’s their ethical obligation to do what’s in the best interest of their client, the seller. By ask a listing agent to show you one of their listed
properties, you are providing an opportunity for that realtor to sell that listing for their client.
* In some states like Florida or California, the "threshold rule" applies, which means the agent who
"took you across the threshold" first can have a right to the commission.
In step 3 we help you prepare yourself for a mortgage loan or if you have already done this, we help you select a network lender. Each Mortgage loan program has its own eligibility criteria and requirements so you want to make sure you can be approved. The mortgage application process is simple, plus, our Cash Back Rebate can offset your closing costs or even buy down your interest rate, ultimately saving you thousands in out of pocket costs. That’s not all, our network providers offer competitive rates equal to or less than any other mortgage company.
Get Pre-Approved:
Take the time to get pre-approved or prepare yourself
before you begin looking at homes. Many real estate agents won't even work with you until you have received pre-approval for a mortgage. Regardless, in this step you should take the time to get
pre-approved to avoid a chance that you find your perfect home and then find out the bank denied your loan application.
The Secret of successfully going through the “Approval” process:
This process can be a frustrating experience with paperwork asking pointed questions about income, net worth,
and credit worthiness. Don’t be discouraged, this is a very important step to help you find out if your down payment is adequate for the loan, the determination of your credit score to help you get a
better interest rate and how your steady job gives you a better opportunity of being pre-approved. All this valuable information helps you determine if there are any drawbacks through the home buying
process. Visit our TOOLBOX for more detailed information
