I just attending a Green Real Estate Professional Alliance Workshop at our local board which was a program developed by Steve Wooster of Michael Saunders in Sarasota Florida to help our Realtors® association develop a new committee under our local board called the Green Real Estate Alliance. Steve is currently the Chairman and founding member of the Green Real Estate Alliance of Sarasota and his goal is to spread the word. The Green Real Estate Alliance will help teach members and the general public about energy efficent and environmentally friendly home features, and the many ways to help protect our environment. Green real estate is attracting buyers. Green homes are not just good for the environment but also a way for your to make your listing stand out from all the rest. I am excited to help pioneer the Green Real Estate Alliance at the Venice Board of Realtors®. I feel we all should learn more about green building and sustainable living. It is not just good for our planet but our responsibility to help protect our environment. Please visit my web site for eco-friendly information for homebuyers looking to add value to their current home, save money on utilities, low or no cost ways to lessen your impact on the planet, create a healthier house and garden, and view list of green resource links.

There is no required paperwork needed between buyer and realtor before the physical home search begins. But if you ask some Realtors who have been in real estate for a while you hear stories about how they wished they did have their buyers sign a buyers agreement. Just like the listing agreement, the buyers agreement spells out the responsibilities of both the Realtor and buyer. What could happen is that an agent will be working with a buyer who has emailed listings to customers, called other agents on behalf of the buyers to determine availability of properties and to schedule appointments, drive the buyers from one neighborhood to another possibly for months and then one day get a call from the buyer and they are told they found a wonderful subdivision and the new home of their dreams and they just signed a contract with the builder. From the agent's perspective this is not good news as they have spent valuable time and money with this buyer with the expectations of payment for services upon the purchase of a home and I am sure most buyers don't even realize what has just happened. Not many agents like to work for free and I am sure no one else does either. Should you sign an exclusive agreement? Many buyers are uneasy about signing any agreements now a day but you can take steps to protect yourself should the arrangement not work your in best interest; ask for a short term agreement, ask for guarantees (make it a two way street), specify terms of purchase and price range and request a non exclusive agreement that protects the agent for procuring cause but does leaves you free to search for homes with other agents.

All you have to do is select Print from any application, choose CutePDF Printer, and the software saves your document as a PDF file to your hard drive. Creating a PDF with this free software is so easy. Best of all, despite being freeware, the software doesn't include any ads or watermarks. I have already used it several times and it is awesome.
