Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Maryland?
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 Jillian Washington work with both buyers and sellers?
Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Jillian Washington handles dual agency or designated agency under Maryland 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.
