What is a Buyer
Representative?
A Buyer Representative works
solely for you, and has no legal or other responsibilities to the seller.
When working with Judy as your Buyer Representative, you have the
advantage of personal representation, independent counseling, loyalty,
confidentiality, and trust. On the other hand, while helping you
present an offer, negotiate, and close a transaction, a general real estate
agent has certain fiduciary responsibilities to the seller and agent of any
property you choose.
Do home buyers need the help of a Buyer
Representative?
You bet!
Because when buyers work with a real estate professional who is 100% loyal
and completely committed to them, chances are that the entire home-buying
process will go smoothly, with more buyer satisfaction. That's
what Judy brings to the table for you.

Does a Buyer Representative make decisions for
us?
No. As your
personal ally, advocating your best interests, Judy as your Buyer Representative is
obligated to provide you with maximum information about buying a home, each
step of the way. That means disclosing specifics about location,
property values, offering price, negotiations, counter offers,
contingencies, financing, and the entire closing process. Armed with
such vital and detailed information, you will be thoroughly prepared to make
decisions that are right for you and your family.
Can a Buyer
Representative show us the same properties?
Yes.
As your Buyer Representative, Judy can show you every home listed in the REALTOR®΄s Multiple Listing Service (MLS), plus Real Estate Owned
(REO), and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) properties. Additionally, she can
show you new and unlisted homes.
|
Will a Buyer
Representative disclose more information to us?
Yes indeed. As your
Buyer Representative, Judy's fiduciary responsibility is to you.
Since she represents you, she can be more forthcoming with any negative aspects about properties that
you are investigating for purchase.
What does “Buyer
Representative confidentiality” really mean?
As your Buyer Representative,
Judy is legally obligated to only you. Therefore, she can help you
maintain absolute privacy with regard to your financial and personal
information. That's another important benefit of working closely with
a qualified Buyer Representative.
|
What about
negotiating the details?
First, a Buyer Representative is
fully qualified and highly skilled in the back-and-forth negotiations and
financing queries that precede the closing of most real estate transactions.
Second, a Buyer Representative is also experienced and committed to helping
protect your best interests in the purchase. When Judy represents
and supports you, that's a powerful combination!
