What is an Exclusive Buyer's Agent?
You are driving around, looking at properties. You see a great home, in a great neighborhood. Excited to see inside, you dial the number on the sign out front...
But WAIT. The listing agent on the sign is bound by law to represent the Seller's interest, not yours. Their job is to sell the home with the most advantageous terms for their Seller. It is critical that you have someone on your side, to represent your interests and negotiate the best deal for YOU.
A Buyer's Agent specializes in the interest of the home buyer!
Most agents act as "Transaction Brokers", meaning they can represent both sides of the deal. However, when they took the listing, they pledged confidentiality and loyalty to their Seller. While they are ethically bound to deal honestly and fairly with you, they do not solely represent you. They always represent the Seller.
Buyer´s Agents represent ONLY their Buyers. True Real Estate Agents are exclusive buyer agents. We do not take listings. We are not trying to put you in a specific home or listing, or push a certain property. We are not distracted by trying to sell our own listing. We will focus on finding the right home, negotiating the best price, and obtaining the best terms for your purchase.
Do you pay commission to a Buyer Agent? NO! As a home buyer, you do not pay our commission- it is paid by the Seller.
What Makes Us EXCLUSIVE?
Does your agent or their brokerage take listings? Then they don't work exclusively with buyers!
If an agent represents the buyer in a deal, he or she is a Buyers Agent. But they may still list property, or be the Seller's agent in their next deal.
We do not list property. Why is that important to you? Because our days are not spent marketing properties...dealing with Sellers...running open houses. No, 100% of our time is spent on BUYERS. Which means that our entire focus, all day, is the buyer & the buying process. EXCLUSIVELY!
What are the benefits of working with an Exclusive Buyer's Agent?
We have seen property. A lot of property! When you tell us your needs, we can begin to narrow down the best neighborhoods, the best areas - and often, we have just seen a home that might just be fantastic for you! We spend our days scouring new listings, prices reductions and neighborhood news to make sure that when our buyer wants a certain property - we know where it is.
A Buyer´s Agent is focused only on the home buying process, and will walk you through, step by step. We are familiar with the neighborhoods, schools and amenities; we will search the MLS for you to find appropriate homes, and preview homes for you if necessary, saving you time. Buyers Agents do all your legwork, looking up a property's history, the tax and insurance estimates, and all related issues that may affect your purchase.
Buyer´s Agents help you organize and structure your home offer, and present the offer to the Sellers on your behalf. Once the offer has been accepted, our Buyer's Agent will be with you every step of the way to negotiate the terms of the contract, set up inspections and assist in the procurement of your financial assistance. We are with you from start to close.
