Why Use an
Exclusive "Buyer" Broker?
Here
is what Leading Magazines & Newspapers say about
the Importance of
Exclusive Buyer Representation......
"To
Buyers: If you want representation, work with a
buyer broker. They are legally obligated to represent
your interests in any negotiations with sellers."
The Consumer Federation of America" Groups such
as the Consumer Federation of America and AARP recommend
using buyer's agents. (Smart Money Magazine,
June 1995)
"Many
people don't realize that, unless specifically stated
otherwise, brokers are legal representatives of
sellers. A buyer broker, representing only the buyer,
may be able to secure a better price and better
terms." (Good Housekeeping)
"Buyer
brokers have the buyer's interest in mind. They
act as a personal advocate, hunting for the right
house and haggling with the seller's agent. In fact,
a 1992 study by a national long distance phone company,
found that 200 relocating workers who used buyer
brokers paid an average of 91% of the offering price,
whereas those using traditional brokers paid 96%."
(Diversion Magazine for Physicians)
Benefits
of Exclusive Buyer Representation
Only
the buyers' interests are represented - never the
sellers. Any possibility of conflict of interest
is eliminated because the Exclusive Buyer Representative
never accepts a listing - they are legally accountable
to the buyer...not any seller. Because the Exclusive
Buyer Representative enters into an exclusive agreement
with the buyer, all information provided to them
(such as loan approval level, motivation to buy
& timing issues) is kept confidential. They
will never be abandoned for dual agency and will
be protected 100% from start to finish. Best of
all, Exclusive Buyers Representation does not cost
the buyer more, as the fee is paid from the transaction
via the sellers contract where they agreed to have
the listing agent put the home in the MLS and offer
a percentage for any outside office who has a buyer.
The
Exclusive Buyer Representative is not afraid to
disclose..... The foundation has settled - The lot
has poor drainage - There is a better value for
your money - look at structural issues - geological
issues - possible pest or mold festations - and
the list goes on. The buyer can trust being told
everything found out about a property being viewed.
Buyers will be advised whether what they are considering
is a wise investment. The buyers purchase depends
on knowing all the facts...good or bad.
