BUYER SERVICES
How are you different from Traditional Real Estate Agencies?
There is a big difference. Traditional Listing Agencies represent the Seller,
the Buyer, or both the Buyer and Seller in the same transaction, thus creating
the potential for conflicts of interest. At the Buyer’s Brokerage, we represent only Buyers.
It is inherently obvious that a real estate agency, like Buyer’s Brokerage, which represents only Buyers clearly has a higher ability to represent those Buyer’s best interests than the Traditional Listing Agencies which are compromised by a Dual
and/or Designated Agency.
Why can’t a Traditional Listing Agency guarantee to represent
Buyers exclusively?
The Traditional Real Estate Agency cannot guarantee to represent Buyers
exclusively because they list homes for sale. By entering into a listing agreement
to represent the Seller’s interests, they become legally and ethically obligated to negotiate the highest price and best terms for the Seller.
Obviously, they cannot obtain the highest price for the Seller and get the lowest
price for you, the Buyer. It is impossible to have absolute loyalty to the interests
of both parties to the transaction.
Only an Exclusive Buyer Agency, like Buyer’s Brokerage, that only represents
Buyers can guarantee 100% Loyalty to Home Buyers - 100% of the Time.
This legal distinction is very important for you (the Buyer) to understand
because the majority of today’s real estate transactions are conducted by
the Traditional Listing Agencies.
How much does it cost?
Our compensation comes from the proceeds of the transaction. Therefore, you
will have the highest level of service and protection possible at no extra cost to you.
In fact, your cost may be considerably lower.
NOTE: The source of compensation does not determine Agency.
