You wouldn't go to court without a lawyer to represent you, so why would you make one of your largest investments, without the assistance of an Accredited Buyer Representative. As a member of REBAC (Real Estate Buyer's Agency Council) I have a desire to pursue excellence and a dedication to improving through updated education and technology. Sincerely, Kerry.  

Warning! Don't expect the agent who listed the home to look out for you, as a buyer.  By law, the listing agent is required to represent the interest of his/her client, the seller.  Many agents will reach for both sides of a transaction (Dual Agency) but how does an agent provide due diligence to both sides when he/she has the full knowledge of both?  Because, in dual agency, wherein two party's interests are in conflict, the agent cannot advise, advocate, or give allegiance to either one and claim to be representing the other. That's why we refer buyers interested in our listings, to a separate agent on our team (eliminates the conflict).  Make sure you have your own agent!  Also, don't go into a F.S.B.O. (for sale by owner) alone either! Most people selling their home themselves will work with a buyer's and once again, our fee will be paid for by the seller, not you!   

A Buyer's Representative:

• Helps you determine which properties meet your needs.
• Saves you time by searching the MLS and neighborhood for you.
• Sets up showings of the properties you choose.
• Accompanies you to showings to answer any questions or handle any problems that arise.
• Always has your interest in mind, so you have someone on your side.
• Does a comparative market analysis on your home of choice, making sure you are bidding wisely on your offer(s).
• Adds experience and expertise in all aspects of the sales process.
• Handles and advises all price and contract negotiations.
• Provides you with all the possible options and opportunities without holding back.
• Gives an unbiased, realistic view of your home and your options. Unlike buyers and sellers, an agent has no emotional attachment to property.
• Has the knowledge to help you ask the right questions. 
• Assists with home inspecting companies and other needed services, (see resouce tab).  

The Buyer Representative's fee is paid for by the SELLER!
