Effective Monday, July 1, 2024, in the State of Iowa, a licensed real estate Agent cannot legally show properties to potential Buyers unless they have signed a Buyer Brokerage Agreement ("Agreement"). This new requirement is not negotiable (the only exception is when the Agent is hosting an open house).

The Agreement is a contract between the potential Buyer and their Agent for brokerage services as related to the purchase (or lease) of real property. The Agent agrees to specific duties, obligations and responsibilities in the best interest of the Buyer and, in turn, the Buyer agrees to their own set of obligations and commitments.

These Agreements are not uncommon in the real estate industry and the terms are always negotiable. Compensation and Fees are not set by law, but are negotiated between the Buyer and their Agent. The terms include, but are not limited to, the start and termination dates, the brokerage services provided and the compensation to be paid for those services.

When selecting an Agent, you may seek a valuable referral from a friend or business partner; however, we always encourage you to take the time to interview the Agent and make an informed decision. You will want an Agent who will prioritize your interests, has extensive knowledge of the local market, understands the various contracts and deadlines, and is responsive to your calls or texts.

Feel free to call or text me if you’d like more details on these important changes. I am happy to be your Agent and assist you in your home-buying (or leasing) journey!

All You Need To Know About Bo

There is much more to the home-buying process than just getting a loan and buying a house. Years of experience as a mortgage lender and escrow/title closer has made me an expert in every phase of the process and has also prepared me to guide you through the homeownership process every step of the way. I have been involved in over 1,500 transactions that have included working with lenders, abstractors, attorneys in reviewing purchase agreements and title defects, preparation of deeds and affidavits, balancing figures for closing, as well as, signing lender's closing packages with buyers.

My past experiences will allow me to avoid the issues and delays many real estate agents are unable to anticipate. If I am fortunate enough to be your agent, you can be sure I'll be a confident navigator and won't quit until you achieve your goals.

If you have any questions about buying or selling, or if you just want to know the value of your current home, please feel free to reach out to me. I am excited to assist people in any way I can even if they aren't ready to buy or sell at this time. I am also excited to work with first time home buyers and assist them in finding the perfect home in a price range that aligns with their goals.
