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 pricefor that property. Do you think it might be a conflict of interestfor 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.
Did you know that when you go to an open house you can see the property at the open house on your own and, if you like it, go back to it with your own agent?You can! So if you see something you like at an open house you might want to consider finding your own agent who does not work for the seller.Just because you walk into an open house does not mean that the hosting (seller’s) agent gets to “claim” you as his or her customer – even if you “sign in”. You are the consumer. You are spending your hard earned money on what is probably the biggest investment you will make in your life. Don’t you think you should be able to work with whom you choose?

The Weekly Wednesday Wrap Up – Hoboken Condo Sales & Activity for the Week of August 17th
Categories: Weekly Wednesday Wrap Up
Hoboken Condos Sales & Activity – Week of August 17th
The Future of US Housing
Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the FHA currently guarantee 90% of all home mortgages. Yesterday in Washington a conference on the future of the US Government’s role in the housing market and the roles of Fannie Mae and the other GSEs made it clear that things are going to change. Tim Geithner said “”There is a strong case to be made for a carefully designed guarantee in a reformed system, with the objective of providing a measure of stability in access to mortgages, even in future economic downturns,” but the Secretary of HUD wants the government’s footprint to be much smaller than it is presently. Bill Gross, who runs Pimco, the world’s biggest bond fund and among the largest holder of US-backed mortgage securities, on the otherhand, urged for full nationalization of housing finance. He doesn’t believe it possible for the private market to ever come back. The co-president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Mike Held, said “The policy challenge will be “how to marry this government guarantee with the maximum use of private capital in a way that minimizes the risk to the taxpayer, encourages competition, and ensures no one institution is too big to fail,” Heid said.The policy challenge will be “how to marry this government guarantee with the maximum use of private capital in a way that minimizes the risk to the taxpayer, encourages competition, and ensures no one institution is too big to fail,” Heid said the policy challenge will be “how to marry this government guarantee with the maximum use of private capital in a way that minimizes the risk to the taxpayer, encourages competition, and ensures no one institution is too big to fail.” Taxpayers have paid for about $150 billion in aid to rescue Freddie & Fannie. Should this continue?
