How can Seven Springs Resort Realty help promote my home?
We have the advantage of being able to concentrate our efforts on people who have a connection to the resort. We have an extensive database and we use a combination of print, internet, signage and Multi-list services. We belong to the Cambria Somerset Association of REALTORS and the West Penn Multi-List. Most importantly, we are the only real estate agency featured throughout the resort with signage and fliers, on the resort website and in-house television and with an on-site office open seven days a week.
 

What are the terms of the listing?
Under Pennsylvania law, the terms of the contract are negotiable, including the commission and the length of the contract.
 

What type of agency relationship does Seven Springs Resort Realty have?
Pennsylvania law requires that an agency relationship be selected by a Buyer or Seller prior to a licensed agent representing anyone in a real estate transaction. In our office, we are either a Seller Agent, Buyer Agent, Dual Agent or Designated Agent.
 

Does Seven Springs Resort Realty cooperate with other brokers?
Yes, we offer a 50/50 commission split with a buyer’s agent through their broker.
 

What happens if my home is rented?
If your home is in the Seven Springs rental program, you can still list with us. We work closely with the Seven Springs Rental Coordinator, ensuring that there is no interruption in guest services. We do not intrude upon houseguests by showing your home while it is occupied.
 

How does Seven Springs Resort Realty decide which homes to show?
Through our discussions with the Buyer, we are able to narrow down the selections based on the Buyer’s preferences for location, price range, size and type of home. Once we have a general idea of what they may be looking for, we call to see which homes are accessible. We try not to show more than five homes at one time.
 

What happens if my family is there?
We have found that Buyers are more comfortable and less distracted from the sales presentation if the Owner is not present. This way they can ask their questions without worrying about what the owner might think. We recommend that you go for a ride, take a walk or visit the resort while we’re showing your home.
 

How do I know when my home was shown?
Our sales staff maintains a log of all showings and inquiries, whether in person, by phone or email. At the end of every other month, a letter is sent to you with an activity report that includes the comments made about your property.
 

What happens when Seven Springs Resort Realty receives an offer?
Pennsylvania law requires that we present all written offers. Our sales staff will notify you of any offers received and review the sales agreement with you.
 

What do I have to do for closing?
We have an itemized checklist for you to follow once an agreement of sale has been signed. Arrangements may be made to settle by mail or to arrange for a power of attorney so that it is not necessary for you to attend the closing in person.
