Who Represents Whom?
Did you know that the agent hosting an open house is the Seller’s agent? Whether it is the actual listing agent or any other agent from the same company, that person legally represents the sellers. Not only that, the hosting agent – by law – has a fiduciary duty to the seller to get that seller the highest possible price for that property. Do you think it might be a conflict of interest for that same person to then represent you? Many people think so. In fact, in many states (other than NJ) it is illegal for the same agent to represent the seller and also work with the buyer.
If You Thought Sunscreen & Condoms were the Only Protection You Need – You Are Wrong!
Interested in new construction – like Maxwell Place or Hudson Tea? Before you walk into the Toll Brothers Sales Office know what you are getting in to! Once you talk to the sales office – even casually – they WILL NOT compensate your agent if you go back with an agent. Of course, you should go back with an agent because:
1. The sales office works NOT for you but for the developer! They are Toll Brothers’ agent – not yours!
2. Despite what you may have heard or come to believe, Toll Brothers is NOT going to cut you a deal if you work with them without an agent.
Looking at resales? Did you know that when you go to an open house you can see the property at the open house on your own and then go back to it with your own agent? So if you see something you like at an open house you find your own agent who does not work for the seller. By the way, if the host says “oh, it’s not my listing, I’m not the seller’s agent” they are just flat-out wrong. The listing agreement a seller signs is between the seller and the brokerage company (Century 21, Coldwell, Remax, etc.). EVERY agent from that firm is the seller’s agent! So protect your interests. You’re making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

The Weekly Wednesday Wrap-Up – Hoboken Condo Sales and Activity for the Week of February 22nd, 2012
Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Hoboken Condos, Market Analysis, Weekly Wednesday Wrap Up
IS YOUR PROPERTY TAX TOO HIGH?
I’ve received several inquiries recently from people flabbergasted by their property tax bill, wondering whether they can appeal the assessment on which their tax is based. Very often, the answer is “Yes”. If you think your property tax bill is too high, it may well be that the assessment used to determine your tax amount does not reflect the current market value of your property. Municipalities are notoriously slow to respond to downward changes in the real estate market. This is not surprising, as it is clearly in their interest not to.
If you are interested in an evaluation as to whether or not your property is a likely candidate for a successful appeal for a property tax reduction, just send an e-mail to us at turoffteam@gmail.com with your property address and we will do the research–free of charge–to determine whether an appeal seems worthwhile.
