Smith Mountain Lake Late July 2024

 

 

Hello Smith Mountain Lake Family!

OK…Quick Update…
compliance is required by all firms on both sides of the equation by August 17th–if you recall, that means that every agent must have a signed Buyer’s Agreement before showing property…

Again…as I said in previous emails on the topic, this is the new law in all 50 states. If a seller is not willing to split their paid commission with buyer’s agency firms then it needs to be picked up by the buyers, at closing, for the representation that the firms provide…just like attorneys get paid.

So! I’ve been trying to say, buy as quickly as you can to save money on YOUR side of the balance sheet.

That being said, there are 48 properties gone, under contract and waiting to close. There have been 113 SOLD and CLOSED here at the lake this season already.

As of today, there are 69 properties left.
These were all listed by sellers who ARE paying the buyer agency commissions…so LOOK CLOSELY at these properties.

Other than that, I’m still striving to get you and your families here. If for any reason you are no longer interested in property on SML, you need only opt-out, or just ask me to change your search criteria so that it meets your new needs.

I completely understand all scenarios…trust me! I’ve seen a lot in nearly 25 years!

Sending lots of positive energy from the lake and hope to see you soon!
All the best!
Noreen
