3 Simple Steps To Buy a Home

1. Get pre-qualified to buy a home with our lenders or yours. Most sellers expect a pre-qualification letter before you enter their home.

2. Set up your free MLS search tool to find homes that you want to see on www.DuffyRealtyofAtlanta.com
Call us 678-892-1186 to see unlimited homes that you have chosen. We are available 7 days a week to show you homes. You can have 1 agent on our team or all of us, your choice. We all use the same “secret formula” and investigational skills to get you the best deal possible.

3. Get paid 30% of the commission that the seller pays us*. You find the homes, we show you the homes and do the hard part of the transaction and we split the commission. Our volume makes us unmistakable experts.

* If you take us to the 1 and only house that you make an offer on and buy, we will pay you half of our commission. We pay you 30% of our commission (around 1% of the sales price) if you take us to 2 to 17 houses and we pay you $500.00 for any houses over 18. The Buyer Cash Bonus is not applicable if the seller is paying a 2% or below commission. It is also not applicable on lease purchases or lease options.
