Our Standard Operating Procedure for Buyers

Per New York State law, each Access Property Group (APG) agent
is required to uniformly follow the firm’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) before
a prospective buyer is to receive services from an APG agent. Our SOP is as follows:

Prospective buyer identification: APG does not
require prospective buyers to provide identification to work with an APG agent.
However, a homeowner and/or a listing agent may require this information in order to the prospective buyer to attend an open house or showing, or at some other time
during a purchase transaction.

Exclusive broker agreement: APG does not require
exclusive brokerage agreements to work with an APG agent. However, a prospective
buyer and APG agent may mutually agree to enter into an exclusive buyer
representation agreement.

Preapproval for a mortgage/proof of funds: APG does
not require prospective buyers to provide preapproval for a mortgage/proof of funds to
work with an APG agent. However, a seller, a listing agent, or another third
party may require a preapproval prior to a prospective purchaser attending any showings (including open
houses), at the time of receiving an offer from a prospective buyer, or at some
other time during a purchase transaction. APG encourages all prospective buyers to obtain preapproval for a mortgage in the early stages of a homebuying process.
