Who is Representing You?  

Standard Practice:  It used to be standard practice in the real estate industry for a Realtor to represent either the seller or the buyer.  If you wish sole representation as either a seller or a buyer, let me know & we can discuss how to keep your sales motivation private between you and your agent.   I've gotten to know some very nice new folks in town by representing them as buyers...going out to search for a home that would fit their needs & being successful on their behalf!  Any way you look at it, buyer agency is here to stay.  -   Diann Hursh  - as a Seller's Agent 

Today Agency can entail other types of relationships between an Agent and a buyer or seller:

 Mobile Homes 

without land expense:

In Valdez, about 1/3 of the housing units are mobile homes.  

Many are very nice.

It is an affordable way to start into housing ownership.

Later, you can sell your mobile, and it is a help on the down payment for a house.

Relocating? Ask for a couple of recommendations on a Realtor to work with 

 

 

Buyers should check the neighborhood.
Sellers need to alert prospective buyers that the buyer is responsible to check, if interested, whether or not there are any known registered sex offenders in the neighborhood.  Check with the local police dept. or check the internet.  Realizing that even this may not be complete. *  http://www.dps.state.ak.us/ 

A recent Alaska Supreme Court decision winter/2002 removed all pre-1994 offenders from the list and only allows offenders convicted after the date the registration law was enacted.  About 3-4 "locals" went off the list even though many had more than one conviction.  The only people that can be on the list are those convicted after the passage of the Alaska version of "Megan's Law."  They cannot be on the list unless at least one conviction occurred after passage of the law.

enter your street address...it will show a "house" in the middle of the map, that's your house... all the little colored boxes are registered Sex Offenders... click on them and you get a name, address & picture of the person along with his/her crime... pretty amazing and scary...it shows you where they live in proximity to your home and the local schools.
