Exclusive Buyer Representation

How does Exclusive Buyer Representation benefit home buyers
and what are the other consumer choices available?

Home Search

You may have asked yourself, Do I really need the services of a real estate agent?  How hard is it to buy a house?  You can look at real estate ads on the Internet, in homes magazines and for sale by owner magazines, drive around looking at “for sale” signs, and visit open houses. That should do it, right?But if you still worry about missing something good, you will like our company’s philosophy about your home search. Our goal is to give you peace of mind that comes from doing a really thorough search and, once you have found the right home, negotiating and working to protect your interest every step of the way right through the Closing.

Traditional Real Estate Agents and Listings

Seller agents from real estate companies focus most of their energy on listing homes for sale, placing ads and holding open houses.  They work for sellers and try to get the highest possible price for the homes they are marketing.  Their knowledge of For Sale By Owner properties is limited by their geographic “farm” and their desire to turn them into listings.

Exclusive Buyer Representation - Search, Search, Search

Our exclusive buyer representatives focus all of their energy on home buyers.  Day in and day out it’s search, search, search.  They don’t get distracted by listings, placing ads, holding open houses or pushing homes they have to sell.  And, because we need to know about as many properties as we can identify, our company maintains its own list of For Sale By Owner properties to supplement the houses we find out about through our Statewide Multiple Listing Service, MLSPIN, Inc.  We welcome information on For Sale By Owner homes because we know they are a part of the true real estate market.

Negotiation Assistance 

And, because we work for you in the same manner as an employer and employee, when it comes time to make an offer and negotiate the sales price, you will see the value in having an exclusive buyer representative on your side.  Buyers need all of the property value information they can get to help them determine how much to offer on a home.  Since our buyer representatives are trying to get the best house at the lowest price - best terms, they will do a property value study, research public records to tell you who bought the house before you and how much they paid.  They will try to determine the seller’s motivation to strengthen your bargaining position.

Exclusive Buyer Representation - A More Professional Service

Our Buyer Representatives say that by specializing in working for buyers it gives them freedom to do their business in a more professional way for their Buyer Clients.  They know you will buy a home so they don’t have to put pressure on you to buy quickly for fear they will lose out on a commission.  They know you will buy through them so they can tell you about everything on the market, including For Sale By Owner homes.  And, they can use all of their skills and knowledge to empower you to make a better buying decision.
