MORE PERSONAL INFO
Most of the real estate industry is focused on representing sellers. Training seminars and classes are focused on increasing listings. The predominant method to find buyers is by having homes available for sale. Get more listings. Listings will generate calls and inquiries from buyers.<BR><BR>This setup leads to buyers being sold homes because the sale benefits the seller and/or the listing agent. Was it the best house for that Buyer? Maybe. Was the buyer seeing all their options? Maybe not. Because not all buyers are clients, buyers are not always made aware of other options. Buyers may have their offer accepted on a house, and then not ever be made aware that they have rights and ways out of the contract if the home turns out to be less than represented. In short, buyers are typically less protected in a real estate transaction.<BR><BR>Buyers are often customers in a transaction rather than clients. Seller's agents regularly convince buyers to sign limited agency agreements. These agreements limit the amount of representation the buyer receives, while allowing the listing brokerage to collect both sides of the real estate commission. According to the National Association of Realtors, in almost a third of all real estate transactions, buyers say that they were never told that they had the right to have an agent that would work ONLY for them.<BR><BR>Our brokerage represents Buyers ONLY. We do not list properties and we protect our client's best interests throughout their transactions. We are hired directly by our clients and we offer loyalty, accountability, disclosure, confidentiality, obedience and care to our clients in their transactions. Unlike most real estate brokerages, we have a policy to always work in the best interest of the buyer. We do not ask our buyer-clients to agree to limited or dual agency.<BR><BR>Buyers CAN hire an agent who will work exclusively in their best interest. An agent with legal obligations to sellers to market and promote specific properties cannot offer a buyer this undivided level of service.
