1. Qualified Buyers Representative


How often do you purchase real estate?  Once, twice, three times in your lifetime?

One can hardly be expected to know all the ins and outs of such a major transaction complicated by so many details. In most transactions, sellers are represented by a listing agent who minds these details and their client’s best interests. As a buyer, don’t you also want complete and fair representation in your real estate transaction? Real estate buyer’s representatives are responsible for protecting the best interests of their clients-buyers like you-and can guide you through every step of the process. So the first step, and perhaps the most important, is finding your buyer’s representative.

What is a Buyer’s Representative?

Defined most simply, a buyer’s representative (or buyer’s agent) is an advocate for the buyer-not the seller-in a real estate transaction. Real estate laws and regulations vary from state to state, but buyer’s representatives usually owe full fiduciary (legal) duties, including loyalty and confidentiality, to their buyer-clients and keep their best interests in mind through the entire transaction.

Why Should I Use a Buyer’s Representative?

Some of the most important reasons to use a buyer’s representative are protection, efficiency, market knowledge and negotiation skills.

Most likely, the seller of whatever property you buy will be represented by a listing agent who can provide expertise throughout the transaction. Don’t you want the same kind of service as a buyer? A buyer’s representative can provide you with the expertise you need through the entire transaction.

According to NAR research, buyers who work with a buyer’s representative also find their homes quicker, while viewing more properties in their search, than buyers who do not engage a buyer’s representative.
