Real Estate Agent

Appointed by the seller to sell the property, the Real Estate Agent is paid a commission from, and acts for, the Seller. The Agent that lists the property on the market is known as the Listing Agent. If another Agent introduces the eventual buyer to a property, they are known as the Selling Agent.

Some Real Estate Agents are commissioned by Buyers to find them the perfect property to view and possibly purchase. In this situation they work in the sole interest of the Buyer and can be known as a Buyers Rep.

Builder/New Homes Sales Consultant

If purchasing a house and land package, you will not only be dealing with a Real Estate Agent but also the company who will be building your home. You New Home Consultant will present and communicate with you on a variety of floor plans, features & benefits, assisting you to select the home/floorplan suitable to you.
