The National Association of Realtors' settlement may have some wondering if they really need a real estate agent when buying a home.

Should You Pay for a Real Estate Agent? - Home Estate Realty Here are the facts and the fiction of what the media has covered on the recent real estate commissions lawsuit.

The most compelling argument for working with a real estate agent is REPRESENTATION. In Virginia, home buyers sign an agreement with a Broker. A Broker is licensed to manage their own firm and represents themselves and all real estate agents in that firm. In the “Exclusive Right to Represent a Buyer Agreement”, the Broker is expected to ” represent solely the interest of Buyer in all negotiations and transactions regarding the acquisition of real property”. So, a buyer’s real estate agent works solely in their best interest and offers risk management to the home buyers in many ways. This includes advising their clients on potential risks when buying a home; why a home may or may not be a good fit to their needs; and conducting due diligence through home inspections and other contingencies in the offer of sale of a home.

Good morning, friends! 🌞 Happy Wednesday! As the sun rises on this beautiful spring day, We're reminded of the magic of nature and the wonders of farming. Driving around Northern Virginia, we see these gorgeous vibrant colors everywhere and if we're lucky, get to smell the scent of freshly turned soil. There is something truly enchanting about this season. Let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work of farmers everywhere, nurturing the land and bringing forth its bounty. It's why we enjoy farmers markets and fresh fruits and vegetables so much. May we all find inspiration in the rhythm of nature and embrace the growth and renewal that spring brings. Have a wonderful day! 🌱🚜

Today's average APR on a 30-year fixed mortgage is 7.009%. This is consistent with what we've been seeing these past few months - anything between 6.6 and 7.3. This appears to be our new normal.

If you're thinking of buying a home, consider your options between higher interest rates and higher home prices. If mortgage interest rates fall, the number of buyers competing will go up thus driving multiple offers and higher home prices in Northern Virginia.

Today, we celebrate Earth Day. At Home Estate Realty Group - Coldwell Banker Realty, we believe in being grateful for and good stewards of our gifts. This includes our beautiful planet, our cities, our neighborhoods and our homes. The smallest habits go a long way in improving our lives - from turning off the water when we're not using it to recycling plastics. Every little bit counts. Today is a special reminder of how we can all participate.

FUN FACT: "In 1969, Sen. Ga***rd Nelson presented his idea for an official Earth Day to a group of medical and law students gathering at Airlie (Fauquier County), and by 1970, April 22 was designated as Earth Day, with over 20 million people participating. This singular event would even contribute to widespread government reforms, with the U.S. government creating the Environmental Protection Agency by the end of 1970.", from FauquierNow.com

Happy Tax Day!
