Jack Conway unveils new branding and team leadership: Massachusetts Homebuyers Homeownership

 Jack Conway unveiled a new company brand, website and leadership at its annual convention. The new brand marries the modern vision and timeless values of its founder Jack Conway and remains a guiding principle for his daughter and President and CEO Carol Bulman, according to a company announcement.  “This new brand perfectly reflects our modern spirit and vision for tomorrow,” Bulman said in a press release.

 “We are a strong and fiercely independent brokerage with innovative tools, stellar agents and global connections. Ournew brand portrays the company we are and the excitement we have for the future.” The company is also ushering in a third generation of Conway leaders. Kaitlin Bulman Clifford, who has served as director of strategic projects for the last six years, was named CFO. In her new role, she’ll work closely with the executive leadership team on the company’s financial strategy as well as oversee the financial department.

 Bulman will shift from president and CEO to chairman and CEO, a move that will allow her to focus on providing direction and support for the company, as well as its partners. Vice President and COO Al Becker was promoted to president and COO. In his new role, he will lead department heads and managers toward the company’s strategic goals. Becker joined the company twelve years ago, and Bulman said his leadership contributed to breaking sales records year over year.

 “This group of leadership changes — our new advisory board, our new CFO and our new president  are major milestones for our company, sending a message to our clients, our community and all of you that we are committed to the strength of independence and family-owned.” said Bulman.  The company also created an advisory board to help plot its future as the new leaders take charge. The members are: Carol and Michael Bulman, Becker, Clifford, Corie Bulman Nagle and Jay Chaisson as secretary.

Who Pays the Home Buyer's Agent?

Both seller's agent fees and buyer agent's fees are part of a typical real estate transaction and are included in the final negotiated purchase price of the property. There should be no additional fees to the buyer for a buyer's agent above and beyond the negotiated purchase price of a home unless specifically agreed in writing between the buyer and agent before an offer is made.

In most cases, the seller's agent pays the buyer's agent for bringing the buyer, negotiating the purchase price and terms, writing a legally correct offer, coordinating inspections, responses, and financing plus handling numerous additional details on the buyer's side of the transaction.

Buyers should avoid contacting seller's agents and sellers directly unless they are comfortable negotiating and representing themselves. That is why it is important for buyers to choose their agents BEFORE they begin looking at homes or as soon as possible if they have begun looking.
