Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make. i3 Realty is a professional firm that takes your investment decisions seriously. All of our agents are full time, full service professionals, who are 100% dedicated to your total satisfaction. Surprisingly 60% of agents in Charlotte serve clients only on a part-time basis. Don't leave one of your largest investments to an agent who works only when it's convenient.
Buyers should also be aware that the services of a buyer's agent almost always come at no cost (aka free)! In 99% of all real estate transactions the seller bears the cost of compensating the buyers agent. In fact, over 50% of the marketing budget for a seller is designed to attract buyers and their agents. However, the seller's agreement to compensate agents is negotiated prior to the listing and therefore does NOT change if a buyer without an agent purchases the property. Therefore it is in the best interest of a buyer to obtain the representation, knowledge, and service of a licensed professional broker.
We believe the best real estate agent to assist you in buying your home is the one that offers you the most services and who represents and protects you every step of the home buying process.
