Why Use an Exclusive Buyer Agent?
An Exclusive Buyer Agent is the only agent that works for the buyer. Any other agent, even if they assist with the sale on the buyer’s end, is obligated to the seller, who pays the realtor’s commission. Their goal is to get the best deal for the seller. Nothing the buyer says to the seller’s agent is confidential.
We Represent You, the Buyer
In order to make the best possible real estate buying decisions, you need to have the best available information and guidance. Using an Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA) ensures you have a superior level of representation and protection. This is because an Exclusive Buyer Agent only serves the real estate buyer, and focuses their expertise on your needs and concerns.
It is in the best interest of the listing agent (seller’s agent) to sell the property listed with their agency so they can receive the listing commission and selling commission. An EBA does not have listings and thus no conflicts with you as the buyer.
The Exclusive Buyer Agent Difference
