Buyers Agent Advantages

  Congratulations! You’ve found an Accredited Buyers Representative*

  We all know that buying a home may turn out to be the largest investment you make. And there are so many details involved—lots of technical points that demand your attention. How do you know you’re getting a good investment? How much should you offer the sellers? And how do you structure your offer? What terms are to your advantage? 

  Sellers have always been represented by agents, but traditionally buyers haven’t had the same advantage. Now, as a buyer, you can have your own agent. In my role as a buyers agent, I represent you alone, not the seller. Buyers are entitled to the same loyalty, level of service and representation as sellers. 


What does it mean to use a buyers agent?

Working together, we’ll find the right home for you.

• While working for you as your buyers agent, I don’t have to present specific properties to you. Instead I can spend my time helping you find the home that’s best for you. 

I’ll make sure you get the best price.

• As a buyers agent, I negotiate the best price and terms for you, the buyer. Sellers agents are obligated to get the highest price they can for the sellers they represent. 

I’ll arrange for you to have access to every home that’s on the market.

• A buyers agent searches for the right home using all possible resources. That means I can seek out properties that are not listed in the Multiple Listing Service including homes that are for sale by owner and foreclosures. 

I’ll help you put together the best offer.

• As your agent, I can help determine the current market value of the property you are interested in buying. That means your offer will be based on up-to-date realistic information rather than on the seller’s asking price.

Note Should you choose to purchase a property that is listed within my office, then I have an obligation to both you and the seller. The responsibilities associated with both buyer’s agency and dual agency are spelled out in the forms we provide for our clients.
