BOB LATIGONA BUYER SERVICES

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU
I am a full-time professional Real Estate Agent. I am educated in the legal aspects of real estate practice and licensed by the State of New Jersey to provide real estate services. As a Real Estate Agent, I abide by a strict Code of Ethics to provide you with the highest level of service. I am part of one of the strongest networks of professional Real Estate Agents. I earn my living by serving the needs of home buyers with extreme integrity.

SKILLED SERVICE
A large part of my work is performed behind the scenes; previewing homes, researching comparable sales, gathering market knowledge, evaluating changing legislation, and maintaining my professional credentials. For every hour I spend showing you homes, I will have spent up to ten hours preparing. I am constantly acquiring information that will help me to better serve you.

HOW I AM COMPENSATED
I am not paid a traditional salary; I work entirely on commission, which I receive only if I initiate and complete a transaction for you. I am compensated only when all of your needs have been satisfied and you take ownership of your new home. All of the services I provide are uncompensated unless you purchase a home through me. Real estate commissions traditionally are paid at the close of escrow from the seller’s proceeds.

YOUR COMMITMENT TO ME
I will invest substantial time and effort in locating your home, and will represent you with unequaled integrity throughout the entire transaction. In return, I request your loyalty and commitment that you will work with me exclusively.

PUTTING ME TO WORK FOR YOU
If you see any home that interests you, ask me about it, whether it’s advertised by sign, in the newspaper, a For Sale by Owner, listed with another real estate agent, or not even on the market. I am able to best represent you in the pursuit of the property.

If you have any questions about how I work, please do not hesitate to ask. Our professional relationship is critical to the successful purchase of your home.
