[TowerTalk] Planning for the next move...

[Patrick Greenlee]

It is important to understand that you as the buyer need a real estate 
agent who is legally bound to represent your interests not those of the 
seller.  When an owner lists his property for sale with a real estate 
agent that agent is legally bound to represent the seller's best 
interests,  N O T   Y O U R S.  You the buyer need someone "in your 
corner" who is legally bound to represent your best interests. Enter the 
buyer's agent.

But how much will this cost?  Nothing extra. The fee available to the 
seller's agent is split with your (buyer's) agent.

My current home is on a 160 acre cattle ranch.  I have no tower 
restrictions except with the FAA, no home owner's assoc. or other 
nonsense.  My septic system was registered with the DEQ (Department of 
Environmental Quality.) Other than that there were no permits or 
inspections whatsoever.

My buyer's agent was a retired academician, PhD entomologist, I met when 
cold calling real estate companies.  We have been very close friends for 
going on 20 years now.  Not your average real estate sales guy maybe but 
not all that unusual either in my experience.  ...and oh by the way, he 
lived in a development where every home is on an acre or two and he had 
a free standing 100ft tower with a wind generator on it in his back 
yard. Free standing triangle tower with legs on 14 ft centers at ground 
level.
