Only I, as your BUYERS AGENT, will show you all the houses that meet the criteria YOU specify, whether an owner lists the houses by a real estate agency or sometimes even privately. At the same time Rich, as your BUYERS AGENT. will give you an objective opinion about whether a home is right for you or not. Since your BUYERS AGENT is working only on your behalf, I will only reveal to the seller information that will benefit your bargaining position. Then, once you have found a home that you want to buy, I will research the market, the seller and the property history to make sure you are not overpaying, and that there are no hidden complications or problems. The net result? You get the house you want and in many cases pay less for it than if you used the Listing Agent or NO Agent, and certainly not more. Just as important, it cost no more to use a BUYERS AGENT. That's because the commission on a property is actually two commissions: normally one-half to the selling or listing agent (possibly more), and one-half (possibly less) to the buyers agent who would be me. As you see this is at NO COST TO YOU THE BUYER! My services as a BUYERS AGENT are FREE to the Buyer. Why not RELAX, have NO hassles, and let a professional do the work?
Why doesn't every house buyer use a buyer's agent? First, buyer's agents are a relatively new class of agent and most people just don't know they exist. Others are still learning about the advantages of using a buyer's agent. Second, the traditional seller's agent is not about to recommend an agent who will actively work to reduce the final price of the house. Thirdly, if the Listing Agent sells the house, that agent receives all the Professional Fees (Commissions) negotiated from the property seller. When you SIGN ME as your Registered Buyers Agent, you pay NOTHING for the service. The Seller's Agent/Property Owner pays for my Professional Fee. You can cancel at any time that you are NOT satisfied with my service by putting it in writing. You of course, can cancel at NO CHARGE!
