Money Magazine - 2006 Top 5 Best Places to Retire - Prescott Arizona

Prescott attracts retirees who enjoy being outdoors, with more than 6 golf courses, and the Prescott National Forest, which offers 450 miles of trails among acres of ponderosa pine. There are outdoor events on the lawn of Courthouse Plaza; saloon-style bars and restaurants that line historic Whiskey Row; and plays at the Prescott Fine Arts Association. Other pluses: three hospitals, a recently expanded library and a new adult center opening this fall. Housing prices are on the high side, but property taxes are relatively low and seniors enjoy some state breaks.

State of Arizona Real Estate Department (Property Buyer's Checklist):

"Be aware that the seller's broker does not represent you; the seller's broker represents the seller. The seller's broker has certain responsibilities to the seller that are not afforded to you. You might wish to retain the services of a buyer's agent/broker to represent you in the transaction. Usually, the buyer's agent/broker receives a portion of the commission paid by the seller, and the services may cost you nothing, but you will receive representation equal to that provided to the seller by the seller's broker."

Ralph Nader on Exclusive Real Estate Buyer Agents:

Home buyers can not always receive true buyer agency representation when the selected real estate firm accepts listings. In most real estate firms throughout the United States, you will always be confronted with the possibility of dual agency unless using the services of an Exclusive Buyer Agent."

American Association of Retired Persons (AARP):

"Buyer's Agents/Brokers will better represent the interests of buyers than will sub-agents. They are more likely, for example, to negotiate a lower sales price on a house."

Understand Your Arizona Real Estate Agency Relationships

1. Do it all on your own... Search for Prescott AZ Homes. Book showings with each listing broker. Negotiate for your best price. Find a good home inspector. Negotiate for repairs. Close escrow. When there's no broker representing you, the seller's broker keeps the whole commission.
2. Work with an Exclusive Buyer's Agent/Broker...A Buyer's Agent/Broker assists you in doing all of the above while representing only your best interests. No conflicts. No biased inventory. NO FEES to purchase Prescott Real Estate listed in MLS!
3. Work with a Dual Agent... Why take the chance that your real estate agent may be representing the seller? Working with big real estate firms increase the chances for conflicts of interest that will leave you without representation. I don't list homes or represent sellers so there is never a conflict.
