Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Pennsylvania?

Compensation is negotiable and set out in writing. Sellers sign a listing agreement; since August 2024 buyers sign a written buyer agreement before touring homes with an agent, stating what the agent will be paid and by whom.

Does Keller Williams Advantage Realty work with both buyers and sellers?

Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Keller Williams Advantage Realty handles dual agency or designated agency under Pennsylvania law.

What should I prepare before the first meeting?
