Ask to see a copy of the agreement. One loophole of the TAR buyers rep is that it specify's which areas they are representing the buyer for. A lot of agents don't fill that part out correctly. In other words, if a buyer signs a buyers rep agreement, usually it's for specific areas (Example Houston, or X neighboorhoods). The only way you are out of luck is if they put "all of texas" or "Texas"
I Know because I used to work in Houston. Good luck. - Mon Apr 28 2008, 22:53
Yes you can definetly find a house in a good school area, as SI has many good schools. My first piece of advice would be to drive around and look at different neighboorhoods that you think you might like. When you narrow it down to a few possible areas, put yourself in the hands of a good realtor. I say that because we have access to more listings than the for sale by owner sellers, and as a buyer, it costs you nothing anyway...the fee is paid by the home seller! I would be happy to assist you anytime! Feel free to contact me. - Thu Apr 10 2008, 22:11
The seller may accept either offer. First does not mean they get the house, unless a contract was signed (different than a binder) with an attorney, a seller is free to take the second offer. - Thu Apr 10 2008, 17:15
