Why a Buyers Agent?
"If your agent isn't a Buyer Broker - he works for the seller."
- U.S. News & Journal Report
"U.S. Sprint encourages the 700 to 900 employees it transfers each year to find a 'Buyer Broker' to handle their home purchase. Home buyers who use Buyer Brokers are able to slice off the price of a home."
- The Washington Post
"Most agents who show you homes don't represent your interest. They work for the seller, and their objective is to sell the house at the highest possible price."
- USA Today
"Exclusive agencies are the best. They remove any conflict of interests, which is the main reason for considering a buyer broker in the first place."
- Kiplinger's Changing Times
"Always remember that a real estate agent does not work for you, but for the seller. If you want an agent on your side, get a buyer broker."
- Reader's Digest
"Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want then negotiating the lowest possible price. The best buyer brokers are so-called exclusive agents - that is they represent only buyers, never sellers."
- Money Magazine
"A buyer's broker...works for you. He or she is bound to keep your confidence and negotiate with the seller for the lowest price."
- Jane Bryant Quinn
"Buyers average a 5% saving when represented by a Buyer's Agent rather than a sales agent."
- Money Magazine
"Find an agent that works for you. Most work for the seller so be careful what you say. Your best shot. You'll get the surest representation from an exclusive buyer's broker."
- Kiplinger's Personal Finance
"Buyer Brokers will better represent the interests of buyers than will subagents. They are more likely, for example, to negotiate a lower sales price on a house."
- American Association of Retired Persons
"Buyers: If you want representation, work with a buyer's broker. They are legally obligated to represent your interests in negotiations with the seller."
- The Consumer Federation of America
"Groups such as the Consumer Federation of America and AARP recommend using buyer's brokers."
