Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Arizona?

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 Tim Boyles work with both buyers and sellers?

Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Tim Boyles handles dual agency or designated agency under Arizona law.

What should I prepare before the first meeting?
