Flooding Concerns in Fargo and Moorhead,

08-03-11
Dan and Lida Deutsch
  • For nearly 20 years the upper midwest and Fargo and Moorhead have been experiencing a wet cycle with more rain and snow year around. Additionally farmers, out of necessity, have worked to improve the drainage from their fields in order to get their crops in and out of the fields. The result has been far more water getting into the red river drainage basin and subsequent flooding.
  • The concern for new residents of Fargo Moorhead is finding a home that is not flood prone. Fortunately there are few homes left which are likely to flood on a regular basis. This has been made possible by a combination or diking and removing homes.
  • But unfortunately there is still a chance that any home within the Red River Valley could be affected by either river flooding or overland flows. After all, this area was known to be the site of a great body of water called Lake Agassiz, has been under as much as 50 feet of water during the post ice age period over 10,000 years ago.

Fargo Homes Buyer Agency is Hiring EBA's.

We are looking for hard working aggressive Realtors who want to focus on a huge underserved niche market:Buyers

The Problem: Agents who specialize in buyers exclusively are hard to find because the income potential is decreased.

Downside:

  • They will be giving up all potential seller business to become exclusive buyers representatives.
  • -No more double sided transactions nor any extra bonus for selling a company listing.
  • They will not have their name on property signs nor have personal inventory.
  • They will not be saleperson of the month or listing person of the month.
  • They will have to go out and talk to people, sell their service, and bring in business the old fashioned way

Upside:

  • They will be number one in their buyer client's heart.
  • They will never be involved in Dual Agency nor have a conflict of interest with a seller
  • They will not have to change horses and sides multiple times a day
  • No sign, key box, or open house hassles
  • No ad deadlines, no stolen signs, no expired listings, no frustrated sellers.
  • They will have a message that has no equal: Buyer gets the right house; Best Possible Terms; No Conflicts of Interest; Dual Agency-Forgettaboutit

Should we expect many calls? I will be surprised if there are any agents in our market who can afford to be an Exclusive Buyer Representative. Dual Agency, while it is not much loved, does, for many agents, pay the bills.
