What is a Buyer’s Agent?
The Real Estate Agent, unless specifically disclosed otherwise, represents the seller in any transaction for the sale of a home. It is that Agent's fiduciary duty (where their loyalty lies) to protect the seller's position at all times.
Example : You see a house advertised in the newspaper, a home magazine, or the Internet. You contact the Listing Agent (this is who will be advertising the home) and make an appointment to see the house. The Agent is friendly, informative, and tells you what you believe to be everything about the house. The Agent represents the seller, not you.
Buyer's Agency allows the Agent with whom you are working to be your representative and to put your interests above all others.
Buyer Agency turns the tables. If a Buyer's Agency agreement is struck between you and the Agent, it is you, rather than the seller, who has the representation from the Agent with whom you are working.
If you are represented by a Buyer's Agent, some of the potential benefits include:
The Agent can develop a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis), revealing at what price similar properties in the area have been listed for and sold for.
The Agent can reveal to you any information about the seller that the Agent has been able to ascertain.
This may include reasons for selling, potential concessions, or other information that may be to your advantage.
Information about property value trends that may influence your decision about a certain area can be
relayed to you.
Summary. Is it necessary to have a Buyer's Agent? No. Thousands of home buyer's have been well served
dealing with the seller's Agent. (For years, it was the only way it was done). The important thing is to
understand your options, so that you don't unintentionally accept less representation than you want
Why am I differant than all those other Realtors?
Helping you find a new home is my priority. The biggest complaint I hear about some Realtors is how unethical they are. I am very much the family man as I'm heavily involved in the Boy Scouts. I also volunteer with the Union League Boys & Girls Club, am a Mason and a member of Kiwanis International. Why should you care to know these things about me? Because I demonstrate by the way I live my life that I care about helping other people.
Helping you find and negotiate the perfect home or protecting you in the sale of your existing home - That is my primary goal.
