Who these procedures cover
Every prospective homebuyer who asks Vasquez & Associates Real Estate Inc., 84-08 Queens Boulevard, Elmhurst, NY 11373, (718) 701-2729, or any licensee associated with it, for help buying a home. The procedures are applied the same way to everyone, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, familial status, military status, lawful source of income, citizenship or immigration status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, New York State or New York City law.
The three requirements
- Identification: required before any service. Every prospective homebuyer shows a current government-issued photo identification before receiving any services from the brokerage.
- Exclusive buyer agency agreement: required before any showing. It is not required for a first consultation or for general information. A signed exclusive buyer agency agreement is required before any licensee of the brokerage shows a property to the prospective homebuyer.
- Mortgage pre-approval: required before any showing. Before any showing, the prospective homebuyer provides a mortgage pre-approval letter or, for a purchase without financing, proof of funds.
Public open houses
Anyone may walk through a public open house without meeting these requirements; at an open house no licensee is setting aside time for one particular buyer. The requirements apply as soon as a prospective homebuyer asks for a private showing or any other service.
