I Want To Buy A Home in Campbell, CA, But Who Pays The Buyer's Agent?

In Campbell, CA or any area in Santa Clara County, CA, the buyer's agent is typically paid by the seller.

• The commission to the buyer's agent is set when the listing agreement between the seller and listing/seller's agent is signed.
• The commission to the buyer's agent is spelled out in the MLS for every listing and can vary from one listing to another listing. In other words, one listing may pay a higher % or amount than another listing.
• Typically, the commission paid to the buyer's agent is expressed as a % of the sales price. In rare cases, the commission is a fixed dollar amount.

In very rare cases does the buyer pay their agent. When this occurs, there is usually an agreement signed by the buyer and buyer's agent as to when and how much the buyer's agent will get paid.

Please keep in mind that if the buyer's agent works for a broker, the commission is split with the broker, based on the agreement signed by the broker and buyer's agent.. In other words, the buyer's agent does not get to keep the full commission.

Can I Sell My Home in Campbell CA If I Live Out Of The Area?

The answer is "yes," but make sure you hire the right real estate agent. Having the right agent to list your home in Campbell CA can make it less stressful for you and get you the highest return.

Since you cannot easily check on your home in Campbell CA while it's on the market, consider hiring a real estate agent that is local to the area, preferably someone who works and/or lives in Campbell CA. This way, the agent has easy access to your home in Campbell CA and can easily check on it on a regular basis. If you hire someone that is out of the area, do you think they will drive out of their way on a regular basis to check on your property? The chances are pretty slim that will happen.

Hire someone that is savvy with the latest technology. For example, do you want someone that only uses faxes to send you paperwork to sign? Or do you want someone that has access to an electronic signature service that can email the documents to you to read and sign all from your computer, tablet pc, or smartphone, thereby eliminating the printing and faxing of forms back and forth?

In addition, tech savvy agents also know how to effectively market your home on the internet to potential buyers. According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors, buyers use a variety of resources to search for a home, with 89% using the internet. When buyers were asked where they first learned about the home purchased, 38% of buyers said the internet. Wouldn't you like your home in Campbell CA to be accessible to these buyers?

Do's and Don'ts When Selling a Single Family Home in Campbell CA:

There are certain things that should and should not be done when selling a single family home in Campbell CA. Here are some tips to help you sell your single family home for the highest price and to keep you safe.

DO's:

• Do keep all your valuables locked up or have a trusted family member or friend keep them for you while the house is on the market. This includes any electronics, especially those that can easily be put in a pocket or purse.
• Do keep your curtains and blinds open during the day to bring the light in.
• Do keep clutter in the house to a minimum.
• Do clear your countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms.

DON'Ts:

• For your safety, don't let anyone inside your house without their Realtor. Also, if you request an appointment be made, don't let the real estate agent and his/her client inside your house without an appointment.
• Don't post anything on Facebook or any social media site regarding your home selling status or process. Some of the things you post could hurt your negotiating power should a buyer's agent, buyer or their friends see your post.
• Don't divulge any information that would hurt your negotiating position to a buyer's agent or buyer. Better yet, try not to talk too much to the other party. Instead, politely ask the other party to speak to your real estate agent for the information.

Campbell CA Real Estate Selling Process: Should I Accept the Highest Price Offer?

The highest price offer is not always the "best" offer. Some other things to consider include, but is not limited to the following:

• What are your net proceeds after deducting any closing cost credits requested by the buyer? For example, if you get one offer for $700,00 but need to pay $5,000 in buyer closing costs you only net $695,000 compared to another offer for $697,000 with no closing cost credit to the buyer.
• How much is the buyer's deposit?
• How long is the escrow period and will it work with your schedule?
• Are there any contingencies?
• If there are contingencies, how long is the contingency period?
• Is it an all cash offer?
• If it is not an all cash offer, how much is the buyer's down payment?
• Does the buyer have a strong FICO score?
• Will the buyer and/or buyer's agent be professional and easy to work with?

Your Campbell CA real estate agent can help walk you through each offer to determine the "best" offer to accept.
