7 History of RE/MAX Dave and Gail Liniger founded RE/MAX in Denver, Colo., in 1973, prompted by their dissatisfaction with the way real estate business was conducted at the time. Most real estate offices used the commission-split system, requiring sales professionals to forfeit half of their commissions to their brokers in exchange for an office environment and company services. The top producers contributed the most to the operation's overhead, thus supporting the amateur, part-time and low-producing agents. Support services were lacking in quality. The Linigers wanted to change all that. They believed that to attract and retain the best agents, brokers must offer maximum compensation, advanced support services and the freedom to succeed. Agents would share office overhead and pay management fees, and in return receive a wide variety of real estate services and more control over their business. The strategy worked. In every year since 1999, nobody in the world has sold more real estate than RE/MAX.* The network has a presence in more than 97 countries around the world. RE/MAX spans six continents with agents in Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe and South America. RE/MAX takes proven techniques and adapts them to local markets, thereby developing a series of tools that real estate professionals find invaluable. Some of the innovative services created by RE/MAX to help its members become ever more professional and successful include: An international agent-to-agent referral network Advanced training courses, both on-demand online and in the classroom, via RE/MAX University State-of-the-art technological tools and Internet websites Television advertising campaigns that reach millions of viewers across the United States RE/MAX has a 40-year history of stable leadership, which continues today *As measured by residential transaction sides.

8 Why Choose Buyer Representation? Until recently, real estate agents always represented the seller, not the buyer, in real estate transactions. Even that real estate agent who drove you from house to house looking at properties was not working on your behalf. By law, the agent was always required to get the highest price and best terms possible FOR THE SELLER! Recent market developments have caused all this to change, as more and more real estate agents and companies are offering to represent the buyer in the real estate transaction. You can now have an agent specifically committed to representing you, from the initial selection of properties, to the contract negotiations, to the settlement table. More than one million people in the United States are licensed to sell real estate. Of those licensees, very few are Buyer Representatives. Consumer advocacy groups have endorsed such representation, and licensing laws in virtually every state are now being reformed to enable and encourage representation for the buyer. Whether you re a first time buyer or an experienced buyer, it is good to know that your real estate agent has your best interests in mind as you select a home.

9 First Time Buyers You've picked a great time to buy your first home. You can enjoy peace of mind working with RE/MAX, the industry leader in experience and service. Here are some tips to help you with the process of becoming your own landlord. Prequalify for a loan Being prequalified for a loan determines how much house you can afford. It also allows you to move more swiftly when you find the right house, especially when you aren't the only interested buyer. Shop for mortgage rates and terms A difference of even half a percentage point can make a huge difference in how much you pay over the life of a loan. For example, the difference in the monthly payment on a $100,000 mortgage at 5.5 percent vs. 5 percent is about $35 per month. Over 30 years, that's $12,600. Using a buyer agent A buyer agent is legally responsible for representing the buyer's interest in a real estate transaction. Generally, the buyer agent is compensated by the seller at the time you purchase a new home. There are some limitations to using a buyer agent, however. Before you decide, have a REALTOR explain the advantages and disadvantages of using a buyer agent. Features that help or hurt resale value In some areas, a swimming pool actually detracts from a home's value and makes the home harder to sell. In neighborhoods with two-car, attached garages, a single-car or detached garage may impact the home sale and future value. Your REALTOR can point out features that hurt, as well as those which help, resale value. Rate the houses you tour After touring each home, write down what you liked and didn't like. Develop a rating system which will help you narrow the field down to the house that's the best for you.

10 House Hunting Buying a home can be a particularly stressful and trying experience, but it will be much smoother for consumers who relax and take their time during the search for a house. One of the key issues that will arise during the whole process involves knowing exactly how much to pay for a property. To prepare, house-hunters should take careful notes on each property's marketing data such as selling price, price changes, length of time the home has been on the market and a difference in list and sale price. This will enable the potential buyer to get a better feel for what is a good deal and what is not. Although looking at a number of houses is a good idea, buyers should be ready to seize the perfect home when they see it even if it is just the first or second one that they encounter. For buyers who have their doubts, however, revisiting the property several times can ease the jitters, as can a thorough and professional inspection of the entire property. In addition, making the transaction contingent upon a property appraisal that matches the purchase price can greatly help buyers avoid paying too much for a home. Home-seekers should also keep in close contact with their agent, as this will also make the process less stressful. Finally, buyers should have high expectations at the start, but be ready to make compromises eventually. There is no such thing as the "perfect home." However, with a little give and take, buyers should be able to find a house that comes close to meeting all of their needs and desires.

12 Action Plan To Find Your Home Complete the ideal home survey sheet. Complete the financial information questionnaire. Indicate criteria for community selection or specific communities. I will complete a mortgage qualification report and review it with you. We will review the ideal home and community criteria and reconcile that with the mortgage qualification if necessary. I will search the MLS and other sources available to me in order to prepare a list of candidate properties. I will set up appointments to see the selected homes. The remaining plan of action will depend upon our success with the initial list of candidate properties. We will either proceed to the settlement process if we find the right home during our initial search, or continue to monitor the market in the event that we were unable to find the right home from those currently available for sale.

13 Put an Experienced Buyer Representative to Work for You Property Search Your buyer representative will appraise your criteria for a house and neighborhood, then search for properties that fit those specifications. Your buyer representative will set appointments for showings and monitor the market as new listings become available. Market Data Market value is determined by many factors, including the availability of similar properties at competitive prices, location, condition, and most of all the price that a knowledgeable buyer is willing to pay. Your buyer representative will provide market data to help you establish an offering price. Purchase Offer There may be other considerations besides price that are equally important in structuring a purchase offer. The terms and conditions of the offer, amount of deposit and possession date are likely to be factors when an offer is made. Your buyer representative will help in your preparation of a purchase offer. Negotiating When a purchase offer is made, the sellers may be concerned with certain aspects, including the ability of the purchasers to fulfill their agreement, the terms and conditions of the offer, the breakdown of closing costs between buyer and seller and even the motivations and lifestyle of the prospective new owners! Your buyer representative will help structure a negotiating strategy that will create the desired result, a new home. Handling Details A lot has to happen between signing the purchase offer and moving into a new house. Your buyer representative will attend to the details and keep you in touch with the transaction each step of the way. Sellers list their homes with real estate agents to ensure professional representation throughout the home selling process. As a buyer, you deserve the same kind of service!
