Consulting a REALTOR®

REALTORS® are members of The Realtors Association of Jamaica who subscribe to a Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. Members of the Real Estate Board of Jamaica

The following is a list of services you can expect to receive from a REALTOR® when you buy a home:
  • A REALTOR® will fully explain the details of your working relationship (called "agency") so that you are clear as to when a REALTOR® is working for you or for the seller.
  • A REALTOR® has access to hundreds of current listings of homes for sale because of a co- operative system called the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®).
  • A REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list of homes that best meet your needs -- size, style, features, location, proximity to schools, shopping, etc. - and then make arrangements for you to view those homes that appeal to you the most.
  • A REALTOR® will help you determine how big a home you can afford.
  • REALTORs® are familiar with the local lending market and can offer helpful advice.
  • A REALTOR® has no emotional ties to any type or style of home and can be objective in pointing out the merits of one home over another.
  • A REALTOR® will have information on zoning changes, taxes, utility costs and school and recreation services that could affect your decision to buy a home in a specific area.
  • A REALTOR® will assist you in negotiating the terms of your purchase, which can be a nerve- wracking process for someone who is not experienced in negotiating.
  • A REALTOR® will advise you of the legal process required in obtaining title and taking possession of your property; the costs associated with buying a home such as insurance, mortgage registration and legal fees will be explained in detail.

TIME FRAME FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

(A) CASH SALES

  • On deposit of 10% - 20% of the selling price, and upon signing of the sales agreement, the transaction commences
  • Stamp Office - approximately 3 weeks for stamping documents
  • If sales agreement indicates balance is payable on signing Registrable Transfer (as opposed to balance being payable on the transfer of title), then COMPLETION MAY BE ACHIEVED WITHIN 30 DAYS
    This situation, however, is highly unlikely and hardly ever occurs. A more reasonable time expectation is 90 days.

To accomplish a shorter time frame, however, factors to consider:-

  1. That all funds are in hand and available
    - where are funds?
    - ensure funds not tied up on deposit.
  2. That vendor and purchaser are on the island
    - if either is overseas, the requirement to send documents abroad adds considerably more time
  3. That premises are vacant
    - if tenanted, tenants require notice
    - if monthly tenants, 30 days notice from the due date is required and should be served prior to the due date
  4. Purchaser's attorney to carry out title search before signing of the sale agreement and paying the deposit
  5. If the stamp office wants to value the property this can cause a delay 

 

(B) SALES CONDITIONAL UPON MORTGAGE

Realistically - consider 5 - 6 months

  • First, confirm qualifications for a mortgage - can you qualify by yourself or by combining with another party/parties? Acquire a list of all information and documents, which shall be required by the mortgage company.
  • Ascertain the date of their meetings for approving applications. If you miss the date, their following meeting may not be held for a further 4 - 6 weeks.
  • It can sometimes take 45 days to receive a letter of commitment.
  • All funds must be accounted for before your attorney can provide his letter of undertaking to vendor's attorney.
  • This transaction may involve as many as four attorneys, one for the purchaser, one for the vendor, one for your mortgage company, one for the company with the current mortgage to be discharged. Documents have to travel back and forth extensively.
  • If stamp office wants to value the property this can cause further delay!

THUS ALTHOUGH COMPLETION MAY BE HOPED FOR IN 3 - 4 MONTHS, IT IS MORE USUAL THAT THE PROCESS TAKES 5 - 6 MONTHS.


PROCESSES IN THE SALE OF A PROPERTY

1. Taking instructions from the Vendor.

2. Taking details from the Purchasers.

3. Obtaining a copy of the Certificate of Title.

4. Doing a caveat search.

5. Preparing the Agreement for Sale and submitting same to the Purchasers Attorney and in some instances, the Vendor, before submitting same to the Purchasers Attorney.

6. Settling differences before the finalization of the Agreement.

7. Finalization of the Agreement and providing copies to the parties of the Agreement.

8. Sending the Agreement to the Stamp Office and obtaining a tax certificate and up to date water rates receipt.

9. Checking with the mortgage company to obtain a mortgage commitment.

10. Writing to the company holding the security to obtain the Certificate of Title and Discharge of Mortgage.

11. Preparation of statements of account for the Vendor and Purchaser.

12. Preparation of the transfer.

13. Cross-stamping the transfer.

14. Obtaining a letter of undertaking from the firm responsible for registering the mortgage.

15. Sending documents to the Mortgagors Attorney.

16. Preparing, stamping and registering the mortgage with the transfer.

18. Collecting the relevant Certificate of Title.

Selling Your Home - Why it Pays to Use a REALTOR®

Before selling your home, you will need a clear understanding of the legal issues and potential pitfalls. One wrong action could result in a lot of cost and frustration, which is why it is essential to have a REALTOR® working with you, as he or she will make the sale of your home a successful and satisfying experience.

Greater exposure

REALTORS® use the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) to give your home maximum exposure. MLS® is a computer-based system that relays valuable information about your home to hundreds of REALTORS® and potential homebuyers.

Setting a price

Setting a price for your home is an important but difficult process. Again, this is where the services of a REALTOR® prove invaluable. REALTORS® have the experience to help you understand how the market works and decide upon a realistic price that meets your goals. REALTORS® also pre-screen potential buyers to make sure only those who are serious and financially qualified view your home.

REALTORS® will also develop a marketing plan to help your property receive maximum exposure. This will likely include placing your home on the MLS® system and placing a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn. The plan will likely also include arranging open houses for other REALTORS® and potential buyers, and developing advertisements and feature sheets/mailers to market your home.

Once you have accepted an offer to buy your home, your REALTOR® will help ensure that all the proper paperwork is completed. He or she will also make sure that both parties meet the necessary conditions outlined in the agreement.

Why working with a REALTOR® makes sense

When you work with a REALTOR® you will likely get a better price for your home than if you try to sell it yourself. Apart from the financial benefits, however, there is an extra measure of comfort and security that comes from having a REALTOR® on your side. Remember that REALTORS® are governed by a code of ethics and standards of business practice. They have also been trained and licensed under the provincial Real Estate Services Act to assist in transactions involving real property. When it comes to buying or selling property, using a REALTOR® just makes sense.
