Exclusive Buyer's Agents
never take listings and never represent sellers! They always represent
buyers only and never practice dual agency. All other so-called
"Buyer's Agents" have listings to sell you! As a homebuyer,
you have a choice!
Ordinary listing and selling agents
represent the seller. This means they must legally negotiate in favor
of the seller and put the seller's interests first. Their objective is
to SELL YOU a house.
Buyer's Agents, on the other hand, are advocates of the
buyer. Only an Exclusive Buyer's Agent can legally put the buyer's interest first
and negotiate in favor of the buyer for a lower price and better
terms. However,
BEWARE: Nearly all agents
who say they are Buyer's Agents also take listings, and spend most of
their time selling homes -- not representing buyers. They practice
dual agency. They are NOT Exclusive Buyer's Agents.
Exclusive Buyer's Agents are
agents who only work for buyers. They never try to sell you a
home. They will always help you buy the home of your choice. Exclusive
Buyer's Agents are specifically trained for buyer agency, more
experienced and able to help you get a better deal on a home than the
ordinary agent who moonlights as a buyer's agent and spends most of
their time "selling" homes and representing sellers. In most
cases, they can save you money when buying a home.
