If you haven’t bought a house in several years, the whole concept of buyer representation will be new to you. When you are a buyer customer, with no official written buyer’s representative agreement, your agent is working for one party only – and that party is the seller. Even if the agent is showing you property and presents offers to the seller on your behalf, they are bound by law to represent the fiduciary interests of the seller.
Buyer’s agency brings professional representation to the buyer’s side of the equation. As a Certified Buyer Representative, I will work exclusively for you. I have had extensive training in providing these services and have worked hard to achieve this professional designation. What are some of the benefits of hiring me to represent you?
Top Ten Benefits of Buyer Representation:
1. Loyalty
2. Exclusivity
3. Ability to offer advice, counsel and judgment
4. Full disclosure on seller motivation, days on market, anything positive or negative impacting the listing
5. Objective comparison of competitive property
6. Speak freely and confidentially with you about the proper pricing. Can provide competitive market analysis justifying your offer
7. Negotiate the best possible price because there is no conflict of interest – I am there to represent YOU.
8. You are paying anyway; your interests should be independently represented
9. Preview all properties and search for material facts affecting the listing
10. Marketing you – I can approach FSBOs and expired listings to market your potential interest in the property, uncovering hidden buying opportunities.
