Real Estate Services
In the real estate industry, real estate brokers traditionally
represent the seller. However, buyers are free to select a broker that
will agree to represent them as a buyer. Advantages of selecting a
broker that will represent the buyer include:
- An unbiased look at your needs compared to the entire marketplace (rather than attempting to promote and sell a specific property)
- Objective advice on the strengths and weaknesses of a particular property
- A commitment to negotiate for your best interests
- A commitment to maintain confidentiality regarding your finances and motivation to enhance your negotiating position
- Your costs do not increase, commissions are still paid by the Seller
- Advocacy to make certain your interests are protected in the final purchase offer (including inspections and financing clauses).
What is Northbay Family Home's role?
Because of its reputation, experience and knowledge of Northbay
real estate markets, NFH is in a unique position to assist your home
search by introducing you to a real estate specialist having specific
knowledge of local markets in your target area. Real estate brokers and
agents working in alliance with NFH are experienced in meeting the
special needs of first-time buyers and are committed to providing the
personalized service they require. Knowing you have selected a broker
to represent and advocate your personal interests throughout your
search, negotiation and closing provides a solid footing and confidence
as you pursue your home purchase. As a licensed real estate broker, NFH
receives a modest portion of the real estate commission eventually paid
by the seller.
How do I receive these Real Estate Services?
NFH can make an introduction to a real estate broker or agent
serving the neighborhoods where you will be focusing your search. We'll
make the introduction, but you will have the opportunity to determine
for yourself that there will be a positive working relationship. The
real estate broker you select will typically engage with you to provide
services for a specific period of time (usually 120 days) as you move
forward with the purchase process. Your broker will be there as your
personal advocate and will work closely with you to provide insights on
local markets, communities and schools...set appointments to view
properties...and, most importantly, to advocate your best interests as
you write your offer and close your escrow.

throughout the entire Northbay market area, it works with a network of
alliance brokers who have the expertise and interest in working with
first time buyers and workforce families in specific communities.
You'll have the opportunity of selecting a real estate professional who

personal representation to assist at every step along the way.
