Read What the Press Says About Buyer
Agency
From Articles and Publications...
"Buyers that used the services of a Buyer's Agent paid 91% on average of
the asking price compared to 96% of asking price for buyers who used
traditional seller's agents. A $6000 savings on a $120,000 home."
(Source: A 1993 US Sprint Survey of Relocating Sprint Employees)
"Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a
Buyer-Broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want
and then negotiate the lowest possible price. The best Buyer-Brokers are
so-called 'Exclusive Agents'. That is, they represent buyers, never
sellers, and thus are not tempted to push a house on which they stand to
earn a (listing) commission."
(Source: May 1995 Money Magazine "Today's Ideas for Homebuyers and
Sellers') "Exclusive agencies are best. They remove
any conflict of interest, which is the main reason for considering a
Buyer Broker in the first place."
(Source: Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine: "Changing Times")
"Don't get run over by brokers who work both sides of the street. Home
buyers wishing to have their own representation should make their
choices with care. Just because someone hangs out a shingle as a
'buyer's broker' doesn't mean he or she is a good one. Representing
buyers is different from representing sellers." (Source: January
15,1995 San Diego Union-Tribune) "An exclusive
buyer's agent represents only one person...the buyer. It is this
individual's professional responsibility to bring home the best deal
possible." (Source: November 1996 Country Living Magazine)
"Realizing your agent isn't on your side is a little like learning there
is no Santa Claus."
