“We feel fortunate to know and work with Mick”
“We have known Mick Hooper for almost 4 years and, in that time, he has assisted us in selling one and buying two lake properties. Mick and his staff are not only knowledgeable about the lake area, but they are also quick to respond to questions and concerns. In fact, Mick has taken care of some minor maintenance issues himself in our weekend home! And, when our schedule wouldn't permit us to supervise moving our furniture from our previous home to the new one, Mick's assistant Christi met the movers and spent the entire day working with them to make sure that our belongings were delivered and placed in good order. We feel fortunate to know and work with Mick Hooper and, in the future, hope to work with him and Crosswind in finding our perfect retirement home.”

About Appraisals >Best Interests of the Buyer
Who represents the homebuyer in the transaction? The most common scenario is for homebuyers to purchase a home with the help of the seller's listing agent. In this case, known as "dual agent representation," the real estate agent assists both the sellers and the buyers. However, it is also possible for the buyers to ask another realtor to represent their interests exclusively, acting as the "buyer's agent," a service which is available at no additional cost to the homebuyer.
Any licensed real estate agent can act as your buyer's agent, helping you to locate and look at properties in your price range. However, if that real estate agent works for the same brokerage that is listing a particular property, dual agency or designated agent rules will then apply. The buyer's agent will advise the buyer if issues arise such as termite damage or significant material defects appearing on the home inspection report. If the home appraisal comes in at less than the asking price, the agent will represent the buyer's interest, working with the seller and the lender to negotiate a satisfactory resolution.
