Camille Miller & The Miller Sales Group

Helen:

You realize dual-agency isn't just for the agent him/herself right? If you do not accept dual agency then no agent from their entire company (not just the office) can show a buyer your home. It also means that any buyer that calls from an add or your sign outside can't work with your agent or any other in the company. Dual agency ensures fair and honest treatment to both parties--not favoring one over the other. In a situation where your agent also brings a buyer you can ask the managing broker to step in and negotiate on your behalf (and always if there are multiple bids). Agents work in dual agency all the time, realistically we have to to get our listings sold. If you're questioning the pros & cons your agent needs to clearly explain the process to you again. Without accepting dual agency you will be excluding an extire brand from showing your listing so why would they advertise it?

Good luck to you,

Interview every manager and company in your area and see what feels like a great fit! You want a lot of training and a great support system. Work where you live, your first clients will be very much like yourself. If you are starting out as part-time you may want to join a team as a buyer's agent or work closely with a mentor until you have enough business to support yourself full time.

If you are in my area feel free to call me I can always use another team member!

Best of luck to you,

Your Realtor should be providing you with a market analysis of the areas active, pendings and solds--and not just Carriage Gate. Our market area has been selling quite well recently but since our peak in 2005 prices have fallen about 14-19% (depending on the section of the County). Flemington, Readington and Clinton are all seeing recoveries this Spring. There are alot of homes for sale in Carriage Gate so do your home work. Your Realtor can also search the tax records to let you know what the current owner paid.

Please contact me should you need assistance. Best of luck in your home search,

I can't say I'm surprised by your findings. One of the reasons I stay a top producer in NJ is because my competition does little internet advertising and barely uses email. I was recently shopping in South Jersey myself for a vacation home and also could not get Realtors to answer any emails. According to a NJAR study the average internet response time for a NJ Realtor is 2 days!!! Honestly I don't know how they stay in business but it keeps me on top :)

If I can ever help you in your search please don't hesitate to email me anytime.
