Does the sponsoring agent work with buyers?
YES.
The SearchHomesInDenver.com sponsoring real estate agent will serve as your "buyers agent" - to ensure you receive "Nordstrom-level" service from your initial home search through moving day and long after your settled in.  Anthony Rael will be with you every step of the way to ensure that nobody takes advantage of you.  In addition to the vast inventory of in-house listings by REMAX Alliance, I can assist buyers in previewing homes for sale through the Denver & Boulder Colorado Property Listings from RE/MAX, Sotheby's International Realty, Kentwood Real Estate, Compass, eXP, Porchlight, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams and many other independent real estate companies - including new homes offered by local builders.

How much does it cost to help me find a home?
Buyer Agents or Transaction Brokers are usually compensated the Builder, Listing Agent or Seller. This is often referred to as a "co-op" (a.k.a. cooperation) - meaning the brokerage firm will be compensated for successfully bringing the buyer to the seller at closing. When you hire me as a "buyers agent", I will work round-the-clock to find homes based on your specific needs and we will thoroughly go through the contracts and disclosures so there re no surprises.

How much does cost to buy a home?
If you haven't already been pre-qualified for a home loan, we can recommend a local mortgage loan officer who will help you. You can start the process over the phone, but most will ask you to submit an application online. Since there are so many variables (ie: down payment options, interest rates, closing costs, taxes, insurance, HOA's, etc.) that go into buying a home, it's best if we talk through everything via phone. I love educating consumers, so if you want to learn - "Just Call Ants" at 303-520-3179

I would like to preview a home for sale, who can I call?
If you are not already under contract with another real estate agent, the sponsoring agent (Anthony Rael)  can show you any home listed for sale in the Denver Metro area - including new homes. Regardless of where you find a (on the internet or driving by), you can call Anthony to find out all the details and schedule a preview. "Just Call Ants" at 303-520-3179

Can you help me buy a new home from a builder?
Anyone considering the purchase of a new home should hire a Realtor who can represent you in negotiations with a new home builder. In fact, many new Colorado home builders welcome the assistance of a cooperating real estate agent. More info on new homes and new home builders.

Where can I get a home mortgage loan?
Ask your friends, co-workers, family members (or me) because there are some individuals and/or companies you want to avoid.  Although most banks & credit unions can provide home loans, they don't always offer the best rates and terms.  It's always best to compare at least two mortgage lenders because their rates can vary significantly and some unethical lenders prey on uneducated buyers with "bait-and-switch" tactics.  If you need a recommendation, just call 303-520-3179.

Not sure how much you can afford?
Use the mortgage calculator to get a general idea or get "pre-approved for a mortgage" by a local reputable lender.  It only takes a few minutes and you are not obligated to do anything.  Knowing what you can qualify for helps limit your search for homes you can actually afford.

Are you aware of the numerous first-time homebuyer programs available in Colorado?
There are several low-interest grants and housing financial assistance programs available to homebuyers in the Denver Colorado area. If you'd like more information on getting FREE down payment assistance and/or low interest loans from these organizations, just call 303-520-3179.

If I call or e-mail the sponsoring real estate agent, will I be pressured?
Like you, we are easily turned off by high-pressure sales people and their tactics. You have our assurance that the sponsoring real estate agent/broker will never under any circumstances pressure or obligate you to do anything. This website is solely intended to provide real estate advice. Our Sponsoring Realtor / real estate agent subscribes to a strict code of ethics.

Who do I call with questions?
The fact is, when it comes to real estate (or life in general) you should never hold back any questions. I am not here to judge anyone - I'm here to help consumers understand the various aspects of a real estate transaction and make them feel comfortable with the process. Since buying & selling a home involves one of the biggest financial investments you will ever make, it's absolutely essential that you feel comfortable asking anything. I'm a life-long learner so I would be foolish to say I know everything. So if you ever ask something and I don't know the answer, I have access to unlimited resources to get an answer quickly. When you have questions or just want to bounce ideas off someone, let's meet for coffee or just call 303-520-3179.

How are Real Estate Agents compensated?
In Colorado, the majority of residential real estate brokers are compensated by the listing agent (the one hired to represent the seller) or in some cases, a new home builder. Listing commissions are negotiable and range from 4-7% of the sales price and is dependent on the property, location and overall marketing plan. Upon the successfully closing on the home, a certain pre-negotiated "co-op" fee or percentage of the sales price is paid to the brokerage firm who brings a successful buyer to closing. Real Estate in Colorado is very competitive and every agent is free to negotiate their own fees.

Is your real estate agent a Realtor?
All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.
