In today’s low-inventory market, finding and securing the right home takes strategy, speed, and expert guidance. More than just a “door opener,” buyers need real-time insights, strong negotiation skills, and proven experience to compete successfully. With over 50 years of combined expertise Wessel Realty helps buyers move quickly, write compelling offers, and win when it matters most.

The Buyer Agency Agreement

To provide professional representation and comply with current industry standards, we require a signed Buyer Agency Agreement before we can tour any properties together.

It can be written for a single specific property you want to see, or for a general search covering any homes we tour over a set period.

Our professional fee for buyer representation is a 3% commission of the purchase price, plus a $350 transaction fee, both due at closing.

• The Strategy: When we submit an offer, we will formally request that the seller pay the 3% commission. Many sellers have already factored this into their listing to attract the strongest, most qualified buyers.

• Your Protection: If a seller declines to pay the commission, you are not obligated to proceed. You can choose to walk away, adjust your offer price to compensate, or pay the commission as part of your closing costs.

Our goal is to ensure you never have a "surprise" expense at the closing table.

The Wessel Difference

• Direct MLS Search: While sites like Zillow and Homes.com are great for browsing, we set you up with a direct feed from the Realcomp MLS. This alerts you the second a property hits the market.

• Speed to Market: In a low-inventory market, timing is everything. We act fast to schedule showings and use DocuSign to handle paperwork, ensuring your offer is first in line.

• No Middlemen: You work directly with us. We don’t use assistants to show houses. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced agent.

• Data-Driven Offers: When you find a property you like, we don't guess at the price. We provide you with recent local sales and a detailed analysis of the home’s value so you know exactly what you should offer to be competitive.

• A Trusted Network: A successful purchase requires more than just an agent. We provide direct access to our vetted network of local lenders, inspectors, and surveyors to ensure your due diligence is handled by professionals we trust.

• Expert Negotiation: We don’t just fill out forms; we use our experience from thousands of past negotiations to structure offers that stand out and negotiate the best possible price and terms for you.

If you’re considering buying, the best first step is a simple conversation. No high-pressure sales tactics and no obligation—just an honest discussion about your goals, budget, and what’s happening in today’s market.
