3. Introduction
Let’s face it. Buying a home is a big decision and a very personal one. Finding the
right home is not an easy task. There are numerous challenges when it comes to
buying a home. The more prepared you are at the outset, the less overwhelming and
chaotic the buying process will be. I suggest you start by arming yourself with this
guidebook and research on-line resources (such as www.KUFERBERG.com). From
the initial planning to selecting the home that’s right for you, there are many resources
that can help. Use them! Understand the process! It will make a difference in your
buying experience…one you will live with for a long time!
When working with Dmitriy Kuferberg, you will have an entire team dedicated to you
which will take on the personal responsibility of handling all the details of your
upcoming home purchase, and will look out for your best interests.
Dmitriy Kuferberg is committed to helping you achieve the American Dream of home
ownership and I promise to provide you the patience, service and expertise you need
and deserve when purchasing a home.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have purchased homes before, I hope you will
find this tool to be very useful. Please don’t hesitate to seek additional information
from me!

4. Agency Relationships
Agents working with buyers have three possible choices:
1. Represent the buyer through exclusive agency;
2. Represent the seller exclusively, called sub-agency; or
3. Represent both the buyer and seller in Intermediary Status.
Texas law requires all real estate licensees to give the Information About Brokerage
Services form to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords. This form is
included in this information packet. This information explains the different roles an
agent can play based on representation.
Agency is a Legal Relationship and a Written Agreement needs to be
completed to clarify all Parties’ Duties and Responsibilities.
Before working with a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker
depend on whom the broker represents. If you choose to have a broker represent
you, you should enter into a written agreement with the broker that clearly establishes
the obligations of both parties. The agreement should state how and by whom the
agent or broker will be paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation,
if any, you wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker or agent does not
necessarily establish that the broker or agent represents you.
The policy of RE/MAX Town & Country is to offer the broadest possible range of
services and choices to the company’s clients and to provide information to our clients
to allow them to make an informed decision about the agency relationship they wish
to have with the company and with me as your agent.
Let’s review specifically how buyer’s representation works. If you still have questions
about agency relationships after reading this brochure, just ask me.

5. Buyer Representation
Purchasing real estate is a complex transaction with many details to be handled. In the
majority of cases, the seller will be represented by their listing agent. Wouldn’t you want to
have complete and fair representation in the real estate transaction?
A real estate buyer’s agent represents the consumer who is purchasing the property in the
real estate transaction. This agent owes full fiduciary responsibilities, duties and loyalty to
the real estate buyer. The buyer’s agent works for the buyer client and has the client’s best
interest in mind throughout the entire real estate transaction process. As your agent, I will
represent you exclusively in all transactions and negotiations concerning your home search
and purchase.
As you might know, the Listing Agent for any property represents the seller solely and has
fiduciary responsibilities to the seller, only until such time the buyer and seller agree to
Intermediary status. We will only act as an Intermediary with the express written consent of
our clients. Intermediary status is further explained in the Information About Brokerage
Services document included in this packet.
The real estate buyer’s agent is responsible to protect their client’s best interests. Research
by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RELATORS® has shown that when a buyer’s agent
is used, the prospective buyer found their home one week faster and examined three more
prospective properties than those consumers who did not use a buyer’s agent.
My duties to you include:
• Confidentiality: All discussions, fact or information you share with me should not be
revealed to others. However, this does not exclude responsibility of fairness and honesty
in dealing with all parties.
• Loyalty: As your agent, I must and will act in your best interest at all times.
• Obedience: I must and will follow all lawful instructions and requests.
• Disclosure of all Material Facts, such as:
1. Relationship between agent and other parties
2. Existence and status of other offers
3. Selected property’s market value and known conditions
4. Effects of importance contract provisions
5. Commission split/offered bonus between brokers
• Accountability: Reporting where money placed with broker is kept
• Reasonable Skill & Care:
1. Arriving at a reasonable purchase price and advising buyer of such
2. Affirmatively discovering material facts and disclosing them to the buyer
3. Investigating the material facts related to the sale

6. 5 Reasons to Sign
a Buyer Representation
Agreement
If you’ve started looking for a home I may ask you to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement. What
is this form? Why should you sign it?.
A Buyer Representation Agreement is a legal document that formalizes your working relationship
with me, detailing what services you are entitled to and what I expect from you in return. While the
language used in the document is formal, homebuyers should view it as an important and helpful
tool for clarifying expectations, developing mutual loyalty, and most importantly, elevating the
services you will receive.
1. Receive a higher level of service. If you’ve formalized an agency relationship with me, you can
expect to be treated like a client instead of a customer. What’s the difference? Clients are
entitled to superior services, relative to customers. While the details vary from state to state you
can generally assume that being a client means that you’ve formed a fiduciary, or agency,
relationship with me.
2. Get more without paying more. In almost every case, home sellers have already agreed to pay
my commission. If they haven’t, you can ask me to avoid showing you any such homes. Or you
can still view the home, knowing that you’ll need to factor my commission into any offer you may
write. While buyers rarely pay real estate commissions, this is an important detail you’ll want to
discuss with me.
3. Avoid misunderstandings. A Buyer’s Representation Agreement clarifies expectations, helping
you understand what you should and shouldn’t expect from me, and what I will expect from you,
which usually centers on loyalty.
4. Agency relationships are based on mutual consent. While most representation agreements
specify a time period, they can be terminated early if both parties consent. Most buyer’s reps are
willing to end the agreement early if the working relationship isn’t going well.
5. Strength as a team. When you and I work together within a formalized agency relationship, you
have created a team dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible home-buying
experience.

8. How I am Compensated
Most people would like to avoid talking about money or compensation. If you plan to
use my service for buying or selling a home, it is important to know how I will be
compensated.
Realtors work under an arrangement known as a straight commission plan and are
not paid a salary or an hourly wage. This means we don’t make any money unless
we make a sale, and not until the sale is successfully closed with the buyer taking
ownership to the property and the seller receiving whatever payment is due.
If a Realtor® is helping you find a house, all the time spent driving around to show
you property is not compensated unless you actually buy a property through that
agent. We are responsible for all of our out of pocket expenses, such as automobile,
multiple listing fees, etc. Realtors have no guarantee of when or how much their next
paycheck will be. They are not paid for effort, only results.
In most states, the commission is split between the buyer’s and the seller’s agents
based on the selling price of the real estate property, or the buyer’s agent is
compensated by a new home builder. The Seller has generally signed a listing
agreement with his agent specifying a certain fee to be paid, and many times it has
provisions for splitting that fee with the agent who sells the property, regardless of
sub-agency or buyer agency.
The Buyer’s Representation Agreement is the form that establishes representation.
By signing this form, you are agreeing that I am your exclusive agent. This allows me
to share information with you that otherwise might not be allowed. If I were
representing the seller, which is called sub-agency, I would not be allowed to give you
advice and opinion. When I work with a buyer, I always work for the buyer. Your
signature allows me to do this. By signing this Agreement, we are now on the same
team! When you enter into a Buyer’s Representation Agreement with me, I agree to
seek payment of my commission first from the seller or the agent of the home you are
purchasing.

Process
1. COUNSELING SESSION WITH ME
• I will explain the entire buying process, market area, general market conditions, Texas agency
laws, how the agent is compensated and learn what you are looking for in a home. I will then be
able to provide you with additional information about the specific area such as schools, shopping,
etc.
2. PRE-QUALIFY WITH A LOAN OFFICER

the price range for which you are qualified
• The loan officer will also explain many of the loans available to buyers in today’s market
• The lender will provide a truth-in-lending letter explaining the costs of borrowing money
• You will also learn about closing costs
3. LOAN APPLICATION
• Many listing agents require a “pre-approval” letter when the offer is presented. Some of the
qualified loan officers we have worked with successfully are included in this packet.
• After you select a mortgage person to work with, they will complete a loan application. In most
cases, the buyer will then give a check for at least the amount of a full credit report
(approximately $50-75).
4. BEGIN VIEWING HOMES WITH YOUR REALTOR®
• I will explain many of the things the buyer should look for from condition of the property to pricing.
The more educated buyer will be able to make an offer based on knowledge, as well as emotion.
• When possible, all decision-makers should visit the various homes
• Always be candid with me – it will help me understand your particular needs and desires and
enable me to better select homes to tour

in order to assist you in making an informed decision
• I will go through the entire sales contract with you, complete and present your offer
• Negotiations will proceed until both buyer and seller agree on all terms and sign.
• All documents will be sent to the title company where a file will be opened and title commitment
and property tax information ordered
6. RESIDENTIAL SERVICE CONTRACT OR “HOME WARRANTY”
• It is usually worth the money to purchase or ask the seller to include a one-year home warranty.
This will cover most of the mechanical items in the house, like the central heat & air systems,
interior plumbing, built-in appliances, pool, etc. Usually the company will repair or replace the
covered item for a small service charge.

11. Details of the Home Buying
Process
7. HOME INSPECTIONS
• It is recommended that all homes be inspected. This usually includes selecting a licensed
inspector and arranging for both a general inspection of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and
structure of the home, as well as a wood-destroying insect inspection. There is a provision in the
purchase agreement that gives you the “Option Period” to have an inspection completed.
• Inspectors in the state of Texas are licensed. Your agent may provide you with a list of names of
qualified, licensed inspectors and schedule the inspection.
• You may attend the inspection. When the inspector has completed the inspection, he will
personally review the results with the buyer and provide a written copy for you and your agent.
• I will also review the inspection report and assist you in making an informed decision on any
repairs or additional negotiations with the seller
8. APPRAISAL AND SURVEY OF PROPERTY
• The lender and title company make arrangements for the property appraisal and survey
• Buyer will be provided a copy of the Title Commitment Letter
• Buyer will make arrangements for homeowner’s (hazard) insurance, and arrange for the
insurance agent to talk with the closing officer at the title company. Shop around for the best
rates.
9. BUYER’S CLOSING IS ARRANGED
• Once all the terms and conditions of the contract have been met and the buyer has obtained loan
approval, we are ready to go to the title company and sign papers! This is usually a simple
procedure and should take about an hour depending on the buyer’s questions.
• Buyer receives a copy of the closing statement for review prior to closing
• Buyer completes a final walk-through inspection of the property
• I arrange a closing date and time with the buyer and title company. The seller’s closing is also
arranged by their listing agent.
• Buyer brings a cashier’s check for all closing costs and the balance of the down payment.
Payment of any accrued expenses in connection with the closing are due, including taxes,
attorney fees, professional real estate fees and title company fees
10. POSSESSION
• Upon receipt of funds for closing from the buyer’s mortgage company, the title company will
notify the buyer’s agent that the loan has been “funded”. Congratulations! You are finally ready
to pick up the keys to your new home!
11. AFTER THE CLOSING
• Legal documents will be recorded by the county clerk and mailed to the buyer
• The title company prepares and issues the title policy and sends it to the loan company and the
new homeowner.

12. No matter where you find
homes
that attract your attention...
• In a local real estate magazine
• Via the internet
• Other agent’s “For Sale” sign or listing
• Other agent’s Open House
• From a friend
• A “For Sale By Owner” sign
• New Home Builders
I can sell any of them to you!
Most importantly, I can negotiate any offers for you. But, if you view a property with
someone else, I may not be able to represent you. If you see a sign, an open house,
or even hear about a property, call me first and I will provide you with all the
information on the property and make all the necessary arrangements for a showing.

13. Working with New Home
Builders
You may want me to represent your best interest and assist you in completing and signing all the
paperwork, as well as provide you any necessary protection against overly aggressive sales agents that
the developer has hired…hired to represent the builder. I can be involved and provide valuable
assistance when building a new home, from the beginning to the end! Here are some ways I can help
you through your new home purchase:
1. Pre-view new home sites and provide you information on available home sites that meet your
criteria.
2. Accompany you to the property on the initial visit.
3. Arrange a meeting with a lender and arrange for the copying and delivery of the requirement
documentation.
4. Negotiate the purchase price and cost of upgrades on your behalf.
5. Discuss the financial advantages of using a builder’s mortgage company vs. another lender. This
can amount to several thousands of dollar savings in closing costs, title policies, etc.
6. Assist you with design selections and help you make prudent decisions on what upgrades and
options are truly necessities, and what would add significant value to the home should you choose
to sell in the future
7. Gather information on schools and services in the community
8. Suggest or find domestic help (lawn maintenance, maid services, etc)
9. Meet you at the site for construction walks. I can help translate your original requests for location of
electrical and plumbing, or suggest changes before it’s too late. I can also coordinate an
appointment with a building inspector
10. Visit the site and report the progress to you. This is especially helpful if you are not living close by.
I can take pictures of the progress and be your liaison if there is an issue that arises.
11. Accompany you to the new home orientation/walk-through. Whether it’s holding the video camera
for you or determining which walk-through items still need to be fine-tuned, I will be able to assist
you in the first few weeks after your move, should you need help in communicating with your
builder’s warranty department.
REMEMBER: IT DOES NOT COST YOU MORE WHEN YOU USE A REALTOR®
TO REPRESENT YOU IN THE PURCHASE OF A NEW HOME!

14. Shopping for a Lender
A very important part of purchasing a home is finding the right lender. Below are some
characteristics you should look for and things to be aware of when choosing a lender
Questions to ask while shopping for your lender…
• What is his/her reputation within the community? Is the company well known in
the area?
• How long have they been in business?
• How many loans do they close each year?
• What percentage of closings are made on time?
• Does the lender have access to a wide variety of loan packages?
• Can the interest rates be locked in and for how long?
Things to be aware of when shopping for a lender…
• Quoted rates over the phone are rarely locked prices. This is one way the
lender gets you to come to their office. Rates can be subjected to changes
unless they are predetermined for a specific period of time.
• Interest rates can change daily. A quote you get today may not be available at
the same rate tomorrow.
• The interest rate you are quoted over the phone may not be a program that will
fit your needs or situation.
• Many lenders discount their posted rates for well-qualified customers.

15. Getting Pre-Qualified
Most real estate agents and lenders recommend that home buyers get
pre-qualified with a lender before selecting a home to purchase. This way
you will have the best information about the price you have chosen.
Reasons to get pre-qualified...
1. You can determine which loan program best fits your needs and for which you will
qualify.
2. You will know exactly what price range to search for your home. It’s no fun to find
your ideal home and then realize that you can’t afford it!
3. Your monthly payment will be set. This allows you to budget your money before
making this large investment.
4. You will receive a “Good Faith Estimate” from your lender that outlines your
closing costs and your down payment.
5. If you are a first-time buyer, you may be able to qualify for a special first-time
buyer program, which may allow you to afford more home for your money!
6. Most listing agents require a written pre-approval letter from a lender when an
offer on a property is submitted.
REMEMBER: SELLERS MOST TIMES WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT AN OFFER IF
IT IS SUBMITTED WITHOUT A PRE-APPROVAL LETTER!

17. Making an Offer!
Throughout this process, there are many important issues to consider that can impact your finances,
tax situation, and legal obligations-issues which are a big deal when you consider you’re the one
who will have to live with the decisions made, perhaps for quite a long time!
The starting point and ending point of every real estate purchase agreement is the initial and final
offer. Because oral promises are not legally enforceable when it comes to the sale of real estate,
buyers need to enter into a written contract, which starts with your written offer. This offer not only
specifies the purchase price, but all the terms and conditions of the purchase.
Here I provide one of the most valuable services. I have standard forms approved by the Texas
Real Estate Commission (TREC) and/or Texas Association of Realtors (TAR) that are kept up to
date with the changing laws. In addition, I offer protection for you, the buyer, and cover the
questions that need to be answered during the process. After the written offer is prepared and
signed by you, it is usually presented by me to the listing agent.
What the Offer Contains
The contract or offer you submit, if accepted as it stands, will become a binding sales contract (also
known as a purchase agreement). It’s important, therefore, that it contains all the items that will
serve as a blueprint for the final sale. These items include:
• Name of Parties (legal names of both seller and buyer);
• Property Description (legal description and street address);
• Sales price & Financing Terms (cash, third-party (conventional, FHA, or VA)
• Provisions about who will furnish title policy and pay for title insurance & survey
• Property Inspection, Seller’s Disclosure, Property Condition and Option Period
• Closing date (sale) & possession date
• Disclosure of specific environmental hazards or other state-specific clauses
• Special Provisions applicable to the sale
• Settlement and other expenses (appraisal, lender, title fees)
• Real Estate Broker information and ratification of fee

18. Making an Offer Continued…
If the seller likes everything except the sales price or perhaps a special provision, you may receive a
counteroffer (verbal or written) with the changes the seller prefers. I and the seller’s agent will
negotiate and communicate on behalf of their respective client. You may be asked to initial
revisions to the contract as the negotiations take place. The document becomes a binding contract
only when one party finally signs an unconditional acceptance of the other side’s proposal.
Withdrawing an Offer
Can you rescind an offer? In most cases, the answer is yes, right up until the moment it is
accepted, or even, in some cases, if you haven’t yet been notified of acceptance. If you do want to
revoke your offer, be sure to do so only after consulting a lawyer who is experienced in real estate
matters. You don’t want to lose your earnest money deposit, or find yourself being sued for
damages the seller may have suffered by relying on your actions.
Finalizing All Conditions
It is the buyer’s responsibility to make an application for their mortgage loan (if you haven’t already)
as soon as possible. As stated in the contract, you will have a set number of days to procure the
loan (see Third Party Financing Addendum).
The lender will complete the loan application and then assign an appraiser to visit the home and
determine that its value is enough to secure the loan that they are making to the buyer. When all
the information is received, the mortgage loan underwriter will either approve or disapprove the loan.
After the loan is approved, more legal work is necessary, though you will have little involvement.
The land title will be searched, title insurance will be ordered and an updated survey of the property
may be ordered. If the property has a Home Owners Association, the Association will have to
provide additional legal documents.
When all the paperwork is in order, the closing will be scheduled. There are typically over 80
documents in a closing, and if you want to arrive ahead of time to read each document thoroughly,
you should allow approximately 3-4 hours. We will be happy to assist your attorney to insure a
smooth and timely closing. At closing, all documents finalizing the sale will be signed by all parties
and all funds will be disbursed. Keys are delivered to the buyer at their closing, or whenever
possession to the property has been agreed upon.
POSSESSION MAY TAKE PLACE ONLY UPON CLOSING AND FUNDING
OF YOUR LOAN TO THE TITLE COMPANY BY YOUR LENDER.

19. Notice Regarding Multiple
Offers
• In some situations sellers will have several competing purchase offers to consider. Sellers have
several ways to deal with multiple offers. Sellers can accept the “best” offer; they can inform all
potential purchasers that other offers are “on the table”; they can “counter” one offer while
putting the other offers to the side awaiting a decision on the counter-offer; or they can “counter”
one offer and reject the others
• While the listing broker can offer suggestions and advice, decisions about how offers will be
presented and dealt with are made by the seller—not by the listing broker.
• There are advantages and disadvantages to the various negotiating strategies you can employ
in multiple offer negotiations. A low initial offer may result in buying the property you desire for
less than the listed price—or it may result in another buyer’s higher offer being accepted. On
the other hand, a full price offer may result in paying more than the seller might have required.
In some cases there can be several full price offers competing for the seller’s attention—and
acceptance.
• I will explain the pros and cons of these negotiating strategies. The decisions, however, are
yours to make.
• Purchase offers generally aren’t confidential. In some cases sellers may make other buyers
aware that your offer is in hand, or even disclose details about your offer to another buyer in
hopes of convincing that buyer to make a “better” offer. In some cases sellers will instruct their
listing broker to disclose an offer to other buyers on their behalf.
• Listing brokers are required to follow lawful, ethical instructions from their clients in the same
way that buyer-representatives must follow lawful, ethical instructions from their buyer-clients.
While some Realtors may be reluctant to disclose terms of offers, even at the direction of their
seller-clients, the Code of Ethics does not prohibit such disclosure.
• You may want to discuss with me the possibility of making your offer confidential, or of
establishing a confidentiality agreement between yourself and the seller prior to commencing
negotiations.
• Realize that as a represented buyer, your broker likely has other buyer clients, some of whom
may be interested in the same properties as you are.
• Appreciate that my advice is based on past experience and is no guarantee as to how any
particular seller will act (or react) in a specific situation.
Buyers and sellers need to appreciate that in multiple offer situations only one offer will result in a
sale, and the other buyers will often be disappointed their offers were not accepted. While little can
be done to assuage that disappointment, fair and honest treatment throughout the offer and
negotiation process, coupled with prompt, ongoing and open communication, can enhance the
chances that all buyers—successful or not—will feel they were treated fairly and honestly.

20. Important Closing
Reminders!
• DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB OR CHANGE JOBS.
• DO NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR PURCHASES UNLESS YOU CALL ME OR YOUR
LENDER. THIS INCLUDES FURNITURE, APPLIANCES, CARS, ETC
• EACH PERSON SIGNING DOCUMENTS MUST BRING YOUR DRIVER’S
LICENSE/PHOTO ID. BOTH HUSBAND & WIFE MUST BE AT CLOSING IF
MARRIED.
• FUNDS NEEDED FOR CLOSING MUST BE IN THE FORM OF A CASHIER’S
(CERTIFIED FUNDS) CHECK ONLY.
• After your lender has sent your loan documents to the Title Co, they will prepare a
HUD1/Settlement Statement, which outlines your closing fees and the dollar
amount of the funds needed to close. I always request a copy PRIOR to closing;
however, sometimes complications arise with the lender and that is not always
possible. The lender or Title Co can estimate funds needed for closing.
• I will attend your closing. The seller will schedule a separate closing time.
• Closing will take about an hour. You will sign about 50 to 60 standard forms which
do not need to be read word for word. If you wish to do so, please contact the Title
Co PRIOR to closing day.
• After both buyers and sellers have signed all the closing documents, the Title Co
will send the docs to the Lender & then wait for FUNDING. Funding takes several
hours (unless there are unexpected delays/requests from the Lender).
• YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO POSSESSION OR RECEIVE KEYS UNTIL
FUNDING! If you close late on Friday, this may mean funding will be Monday!
• If you have sold a home in another state and need the proceeds to close your home
in Texas, it is strongly suggested you have the proceeds sent by wire transfer from
Title Company to Title Company. Texas banks hold an out of state check for 5-10
days.

24. Buyer Loyalty
I would like to commit to finding your perfect home and I must ask
one thing in return from you:
That you commit to working exclusively with me!
Now by exclusively I mean if you attend any open houses or talk
with any new homebuilders without me, that you let them know
immediately you are happily represented by me.
If you drive by a home, see a home in a home magazine, or see
one online that you think meets your criteria; you call me.
Also, that you not solicit the service of any other Realtor while
searching for your perfect home.
Is this fair?
I can guarantee you the best service in the industry if you can
guarantee me your loyalty!
So what do you say?
