Most Frequently Asked Questions about TOP AGENT NETWORK
1
What is a "Private Listing"?
A private listing is a listing not on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Sellers list their homes privately: to test out a price in the market before going public; to maintain privacy about the home sale; to reduce the disruption caused by ongoing public showings. Private listings account for approximately 15% of total homes sales and rely entirely on word of mouth.
2
What is a "Motivated Buyer"?
A “motivated buyer” is either an all-cash buyer or someone pre-qualified for a loan. When the right house comes along, motivated buyers can respond quickly with strong, viable offers, making them more attractive to sellers.
3
What are "Local Resources"?
"Local resources" are all the service providers involved in the sale or purchase of a home: inspectors, stagers, contractors, mortgage brokers, insurance agents, many more. Top Agent Networks referral capacity gives home buyers and sellers the reassurance that only the most trusted service providers will be involved in their transactions.
