Buyer Representation

Buyer Represenation and How It Can Benefit You

Thinking of buying a home? Do you know that typically a real estate sales person is representing the seller in all transactions unless you hire a Buyer's Agent? What is Buyer Representation? What does a Buyers agent do for you? Below is some information to help you understand the benefits of Buyer Representation!

What is a Buyer Representative?

Simply stated, a Buyer Representative is your personal advocate, a real estate agent who represents YOU, and only you, in the purchase of a home.

Why Do I Need A Buyer Representative?

When purchasing a home, buyers need personal representation, independent counseling and help! With the advent of Buyer Representation, buyers can now be assured of receiving loyalty, confidence and trust from their agent, as well as complete and accurate market data, confidentiality, and full disclosure of strengths and weaknesses of any property being considered for purchase. Buyer Representatives work solely for the buyer! They have no fiduciary or other responsibilities to the seller. The one and only concern of your Buyer Representative is helping you find, purchase, and finance a home that's right for you.

How Do I Benefit

When you ask a Century 21 real estate agent to work exclusively as your Buyer Representative, there are a number of features and benefits that you may expect from the relationship, including but not limited to:

Your Buyer Representative will be more willing to show you ALL the properties that are available in your price range, even unlisted homes such as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and Real estate Owned (REO) properties. Your Representative will also be more willing to show you Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listings that offer lower commissions since the Buyer representative is guaranteed a commission pursuant to your agreement with him or her.
Your Buyer Representative can canvass property that is not currently for sale but that you might be interested in purchasing, including new homes. This can be especially helpful if you are in a market where there are more buyers than sellers.
As a buyer, you can count on more detailed information about properties that are attractive to you, and more candor concerning any negative aspects of properties that you're considering.
Helping you make informed decisions, determined by your personal needs, is another benefit of working with a Buyer Representative. With your very vest interests in mind, a Buyer Representative will help you evaluate the alternatives and orchestrate the details when you're considering:

Location
Offering Price
Contingencies
Title Insurance
Appraisals
Qualifying For A Loan

Property Value
Counter Offers
Mortgage Financing
Inspections
Closing Process

Negotiating

Negotiating on your behalf (based upon your specific needs) and at your direction, places you and your Buyer Representative in a powerful position while presenting your offer, and throughout the entire closing process.

And...There's More!

Protecting confidential information about you and your finances is another important benefit of working exclusively with a Buyer Representative. Because your Buyer Representative is not legally obligated to the seller in any way, he or she can effectively assist you in protecting your privacy throughout the transaction.
