Judy Stayed in Touch
"A few years back, James and I relocated to Dallas and fortunately found Judy's website on the Internet. She was very knowledgeable about the area in which we were interested and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the entire buying process. As fate would have it however, we had to relocate again within 12 months of our first move, so James and I again chose Judy; this time to market our home. We had to move immediately and were no longer in the state, but Judy took care of everything concerning the sale of our property and was always there keeping us informed. She made BOTH our moves a pleasant experience. Buying a home can be a hectic and even traumatic experience, but Judy made sure we were aware of every detail throughout both transactions and stays in touch with us, even to this day!"
Cindy and James

Working With An Agent >An Agents Role
Recent reforms in the disclosure laws and real estate practices around the country have resulted in new options for buyers and sellers. Real estate agents can take different roles with buyers and sellers.
A seller's agent works with loyalty and fidelity as the seller's advocate and negotiator, and is obligated to disclose to potential buyers all adverse material facts that are known about the property.
A buyer's agent works exclusively to negotiate the lowest purchase price and best terms for the buyer. This agent serves the buyer with undivided loyalty, confidentiality, and full disclosure. The agent would know the highest price that the buyer would be willing to offer for a home, but could not disclose that information to the seller.
A dual agent can work for both the buyer and the seller by written, informed consent of both parties and has fiduciary obligations to both. The agent can only disclose to one party what the other party allows to be revealed.
A transaction broker assists the buyer or seller or both throughout a real estate transaction without being an agent or advocate for any of the parties.
