Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest events in your life. As a top Keizer and Salem real estate agent, I have the experience and track record you are looking for. Please let me help. - Amy McLeod  As a Certified Distressed Property Expert and Realtor, I can give the expertise necessary to save the credit of those you know, relieve their uncertainty and most of all, help their family! As a CDPE, I can save 9 out of 10 people from going into foreclosure. Using a CDPE there is a 90% success rate. Foreclosures can lower a credit score from 250 to over 300 points and will affect that score for over 3 years. Foreclosures will also remain on a credit history for 10 years or more. With a successful Short Sale, this will only affect a credit score as little as 50 points and only affect the history for 12 to 18 months. Short Sales also are not reported on credit history. Please call my office, 503-371-5209, for a private consultation to get started toward a path of recovery.

Agency >Who Pays the Commission
Does it cost the homebuyer more to be represented by a buyer's agent who serves their interests exclusively? No, because the listing agent splits the sales commission, which is customarily paid by the seller of the home, with the buyer's agent. The sales commission split is usually 50-50, but the listing agent and buyer's agent will sometimes make another agreement and split the commission unequally.
There is one very unusual circumstance in which the homebuyer might pay a commission to their buyer's agent. The real estate agent might show the buyer a local "for sale by owner" (FSBO) home which the client decides to purchase. In most cases, the FSBO seller who is presented with a qualified buyer is glad to pay the buyer's agent a reduced fee of about 3 percent, or half of a normal sales commission. But the FSBO seller could stubbornly refuse to pay the buyer's agent any commission whatsoever. In that case, the buyer's agent would legitimately expect the buyer to pay the sales commission, in fair exchange for the agent finding the FSBO home and negotiating a successful transaction.
