AboutTHERE ARE THREE KINDS OF REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS:
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? All three are licensed to provide real estate buyers and sellers with information, advice and negotiation of the sale. But there's usually a vast difference in knowledge and experience between them. THE REAL ESTATE AGENT: AN ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEE This is the first step when entering the real estate field. This person can obtain a real estate sales license by passing a Real Estate Principles course and a 2-hour California State exam. However, an Agent can't conduct any licensed real estate activity unless he or she is employed and supervised by a Broker. The Agent can work for only one Broker and must give that Broker possession of the license. THE REALTOR; AN AGENT WHO BELONGS TO REALTY ASSOCIATIONS This is the next career step after Agent. Realtors are members of a local and national association. The association Codes of Ethics establish obligations that are higher than those mandated by law. Like Agents, Realtors must be employed and supervised by a Broker, and may only practice under one. THE BROKER: A TOP-LEVEL, FULLY QUALIFIED REAL ESTATE PRO This final career step springs from a depth of additional training, special experience requirements, and the ability to pass a rigorous 5-hour state exam for the Broker's license. Brokers are also required to pass continuous testing in order to maintain their hard-won license. FOR BEST RESULTS, USE A BROKER And that's me. I'm a licensed California broker and a member of the San Diego Association, California Association, and National Association of Realtors®. To get a sense of the large body of information that Brokers like me must know to obtain and maintain our State of California Broker's license, see below. Examinations for brokers cover major aspects of real estate. When changes in the law occur or changes in the practice of real estate take place, new subject matter is added to one or more of the major categories. Thus, the categories are revised and brought up-to-date on a regular basis.
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND LAND USE CONTROLS AND REGULATIONS
LAWS OF AGENCY
VALUATION AND MARKET ANALYSIS
FINANCING
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
PRACTICE OF REAL ESTATE AND MANDATED DISCLOSURES
CONTRACTS
If you would like FREE professional representation, I'd be glad to assist you through the transaction process. My buyer services include:
Down payment funds as a cashier's check or money transfer will be requested several days prior to the closing date of escrow. When all of the conditions of the Purchase Contract have been met, you will sign your loan documents/closing papers and your lender will deposit the balance of the purchase price. The deed will then be recorded at the County Recorder's office and you will take ownership of your home.
My role is to assist, consult and facilitate to ensure smooth sailing through the contingency period (buyer inspection, loan & appraisal). MY BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
