Why An Exlusive Buyer's Agent? It's all About Representation...
Meet Tom...Tom is a traditional real estate agent. He works for a Broker in a large firm that lists homes for sale. Tom and his Broker do a great job selling houses--they advertise, hold open houses, always push the office listings first, and strive to get the highest price for their client--the Seller. Will Tom show you, the Buyer, houses for sale? You bet he will! Preferably his houses, or the office listings. But will he represent you? Protect your confidentiality? Bargain on your behalf? No! he can't, because Tim already represents--the Seller.
Meet Dick...Dick is a DUAL AGENT. He'd like you to believe he can represent both the seller and you, the Home Buyer. you'll meet Dick when he takes you into one of his own company's listings and tells you not to worry--that he'll work for you and the seller equally. Dick will labor hard to convince you that you have nothing to lose in a dual agency, that he'll be fair, that you can trust him. Maybe so. But why take a chance? The only interest fully-protected in a dual agency serves neither the seller nor the buyer well.
Now meet Harriet. Harriet works for the same company as Dick. if you're a Buyer, Harriet will tell you she's a Designated Buyer's Agent for this transaction, and the other agent is Designated Seller's Agent. And she'll be right! Unlike Dick, Harriet doesn't represent both parties in the same transaction. But her Broker does. Harriet may say she's independent of her Broker and that the Designated Seller's agent is, too. After all, real estate agents work for themseles, don't they? Not exactly. License law dictates that agents may not act independently of their Broker. Agents act for the Broker, in his place. The notion of independent, designated buyers agents in a firm that takes listings is nothing short of a hat trick. The agents change hats. The Broker wears just one. It's label says: Dual Agent.
Say hello to The Exclusive Buyer Agency. We are fully-licensed real estate agents who only represent Buyers, never Sellers. The Exclusive Buyer Agency does not list homes for sale, so there is no conflict of interest. All of our efforts are directed to finding the best house, at the lowest price, on the best terms for you--the Home Buyer. The Exclusive Buyer Agency is legally obligated to their clients. That means you can trust The Exclusive Buyer Agency to advise on strategy, protect your interests, preserve your confidentiality and bargain hard on your behalf.
Don't trust the purchase of your new home to just any Tom, Dick or Harriet!
Before selecting a real estate agent ask all the agents you interview these questions...
Will you show me all the homes on the market that meet my needs, including For Sale By Owner properties, foreclosures, and other properties, or just the homes that are in the MLS?
Will you guarantee that any information I give you will be kept confidential?
Will you guarantee me your undivided loyalty?
Will you guarantee me you will not try to change your relationship with me to "dual agency", "designated agent", "transactional agent", or any other form of agency that offers reduced levels of service?
Will you guarantee me that you will not be representing any seller at any time while you are working for me?
Will there be a written Buyer Representation Agreement?
Will you point out all the negative aspects of each property as well as all the positive aspects so I will be fully informed when making my decision?
Will you tell me everything you can find out about the seller and their reasons for selling?
Will you provide information on comparable sales and help me formulate an offering price and negotiating strategy?
Do you have a list of lenders, home inspectors, insurance agents and other professionals that you recommend?
Do you, or the company you are with, ever list properties for sale? (If they say "yes", they are not an Exclusive Buyer's Agent.)
Specifically, how will you protect my interests, and why should i hire you rather than another agent?
do you spend 100% of your time assisting Buyers?
Can you guarantee me 100% loyalty 100% of the time?
If y ou or your agency lists homes for sale, is your commission rate higher if you sell an "in house" listing?
Will you put all of that in writing?
