22. Will real estate agents show the home?
In the past, buyers used to contact an agent, tell the agent what kind of home they desire and the agent would hand pick the homes that "they" wanted to show the buyer. Now, in today's world, the "buyer" is on the internet, the "buyer" can find the homes they want to see and the "buyer" will provide a list to their agent. Any good agent will show their buyer the homes that their buyer "wants" to see. So if a buyer wants to see your home, then "yes" their agent will show your home. If for any reason an agent does not want to show your home (such as the home is too far from their office, etc) then the buyer can and will contact you or another agent to view the home. A buyer's agent has a fidicary duty to represent their buyer and act in the buyer's best interest. If they do not do this, the buyer has a right to terminate the relationship with that agent. YOUR HOME WILL BE SHOWN BY OTHER AGENTS just as all of our listings are shown by many agents and many firms.

23. How does North Carolina Homes Realty "100% Money Back Risk Free Guarantee" work?
If the property does not sell or if seller elects to cancel agreement, North Carolina Homes Realty can refer the seller to another full service firm or seller can choose another full service firm of their choice. The other firm must agree to pay North Carolina Homes Realty a 25% referral fee (listing side only) only if and when the property is sold. Once North Carolina Homes Realty receives the referral fee from the other firm, your flat listing fee will be refunded to you. If seller selects a firm or agent that does not participate in the referral fee agreement to North Carolina Homes Realty, then the MLS Flat Listing Fee will not be refunded to seller.

24. What services are not covered under the MLS Flat Fee plans?
Under the MLS Flat Fee Plan, North Carolina Homes Realty is only the listing firm and does not represent the seller as a seller's agent. North Carolina Homes Realty will not represent seller in negotiations on all offers and terms, will not assist in determining list price, no representation during listing term, will not represent seller at closing, will not hold escrow money, will not inform on market conditions and competition, will not handle contracts, forms and addendums.
