Why Should Livtopia Be Your Buyer's Agent?
- 1. There's absolutely no cost to you.
- Livtopia operates entirely by commission paid by the Sellers of properties. We have the same contractual agreements with all of the developers, builders and homeowners who are interested in the buyers we represent and they are willing to forgo the commissions that might otherwise go to the seller's representative - your traditional real estate agent. The Buyer's Representative Agreement we ask you to sign ensures us that the commission will be paid in the event that you purchase from one of our sellers.
- 2. Livtopia acts as your liaison with ALL the agents representing the properties in which you're interested irrespective of the sellers.
- Livtopia is your one point of contact. Instead of having to contact many different agents and sellers, Livtopia is recognized by sellers and developers across Latin America as the place where serious buyers minimize risk and get preferred treatment.
- The real estate industry in Mexico and all Latin America is almost totally un-regulated. Agents have varying degrees not only of language but of professionalism generally and unscrupulous agents are not as uncommon as the industry would like.
- Livtopia is uniquely qualified to handle your property search, negotiations, every phone call and email, in close partnership, to close on a property and a process that meets your every expectation.
- 3. With Livtopia there is no chance of language miscommunication.
- Livtopia is fully bilingual, we speak English and Spanish. And most of the people working with Livtopia are fully bi-cultural and understand what's expected from an American services firm. Livtopia lives up to American real estate standards and practices and we're putting those standards into place in the Spanish language and Latin American marketplace.
- 4. Livtopia is a member of AMPI, the Mexican Professional Real Estate Association, and we're registered with the equivalent organizations in all the countries where we're leading the industry.
- Only a small percentage of agents in Mexico belong to the association whose members are obligated to adhere to strict ethical guidelines. Livtopia is bound to follow these strict guidelines and we're setting an example for all the Real Estate Agencies with which we partner.
- 5. Livtopia is bound legally to represent your interests, 100%, no question.
- Real Estate law and the purchasing process in Latin America are practically unregulated. What regulations do exist are different from country to country and with respect to the US and Canada.
- Livtopia has plenty of experience buying and selling, negotiating transactions and making sure that your rights, money and property are protected throughout the process.
- A seller's agent acts on behalf of the sellers, acting always with regard to the sellers' interests. Livtopia is always acting on your behalf and we are frequently able to negotiate the best price as the volume of sales we handle makes Livtopia a formidable partner to have in your corner.
- The purchase price of the property you purchase through Livtopia is ultimately not affected. All of the sellers, developers, builders and homeowners, pay the same commission irrespective of whether the buyer retains an agent. In the absence of a buyer's agent, the full commission is paid to the seller's agent. Again, the volume of Livtopia's sales allows us to negotiate a percentage of the sales commission that's fair to all parties.
