Important Buyer Information

             I know, if you knew, you would care... It is a week-end, quite a lovely one to be searching for your new home. Earlier in the week, you met with me, Richard Hopkinson from The Richard Hopkinson Realty Group at Keller Williams Real Estate – Blue Bell, and I showed you all the upside (with no downside) of being represented to help you find your home. We went over and signed the necessary paperwork to satisfy the regulations my real estate license requires. This paperwork essentially says that when we find your new home I will have earned a commission. Almost always, this commission is paid by the seller at closing. If it is not paid by someone, you would be asked to pay it.

             So you and your "partner in crime" are out riding when you "stumble" across this new development you did not even know was going to be constructed. You both wander in and you get a tour. You really love it! If you buy that property... Did you know that if I do not accompany you to that property that I would not get credit for helping you find it. The builders have a different set of standards. In my mind, it is no different if you chose to go into an Open House without me. The agent running the Open House would honor our Business Relationship. So, if you run into that situation... at bare minimum, mention and sign in that you are represented by Richard Hopkinson from The Richard Hopkinson Realty Group at Keller Williams Real Estate – Blue Bell. The builders should register me and I will have earned my commission. By the way, The Business Relationship does say that if no one else pays my commission, you pay... I would never ask you for it because you have no way of knowing that the builders behave this way. Thank you for caring and for our relationship. I remain "YOUR REALTOR FOR LIFE"!
