When a relationship is created between the buyer and the real estate agent, the agent works in the buyer client's best interest at all times. This provides buyers with the same level of representation (fiduciary duty) traditionally given only to the seller. Here are just a few of the benefits you will receive from having your own personal representative when seeking to purchase property: Confidentiality. The agent you hire to represent you will not disclose confidential information regarding motivation, price and terms, or anything else of a personal nature to the seller or seller's agent without your permission. Loyalty. The buyer's agent must work in the buyer's best interest at all times.
Full disclosure. The agent you hire to represent you will fully disclose any information gained from the seller or the seller's agent that could be used by you in the transaction. In addition, the buyer's agent will undertake a level of diligence and discovery that will give you the necessary information to make an informed decision on the property you wish to purchase. As your agent, I will search for all available properties for sale by owner, unlisted properties, new construction, etc. and will not limit their showings to properties they have listed. A buyer's agent's job is to locate properties for their client.
As your agent, I will help analyze the properties and determine their strengths and weaknesses using my knowledge of the area, home features, current trends and market conditions, allowing you to make informed comparisons and determine whether or not the property would suit your particular needs. I will do a market analysis on the chosen property and will provide you with an offering range for that particular property. I will then set a negotiating strategy to acquire the property at the lowest price and best terms possible. I will complete an offer to purchase that is "buyer friendly" and contains the contingencies and protective clauses you need.
