Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Ohio?

Compensation is negotiable and set out in writing. Sellers sign a listing agreement; since August 2024 buyers sign a written buyer agreement before touring homes with an agent, stating what the agent will be paid and by whom.

Does Lepi & Associates Real Estate Services work with both buyers and sellers?

Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Lepi & Associates Real Estate Services handles dual agency or designated agency under Ohio law.

What should I prepare before the first meeting?

Buyers: a mortgage pre-approval, a target budget and a list of must-haves. Sellers: your mortgage payoff estimate, a list of upgrades with dates, and any HOA or survey documents.
