Buyer's Broker?  Buyer's Realtors? Buyer's Agent?

Here, I will attempt  to give you some insight into the confusing subject of buyer agency.  The laws are always changing!  Understanding  who we represent and adhering to the law continues to make improvements in real estate transactions. 

What is your advantage in having a buyer's agent?

Are there any benefits to dual agency?

• You have more homes to choose from when you work with a company who lists property.  Many times a seller will request a Realtor to list their property confidentially. They are not ready for everyone to know they will be moving. These listings are confidential within a company and are not in the Multiple List System by request of the seller.
   

• An agent who lists property is familiar with situations a seller encounters. They tour new listings every week and stay very familiar with the inventory available for their  buyers .
   

•  A full time Realtor who is experienced in listing property has encountered specific property  problems first hand. They are experienced in negotiating and can present your offer to best overcome objections.
   

• Your Buyer's Agent in a Dual Agency transaction has knowledge of the " listing" and "selling" market in your area.

Seller benefits of Dual Agency?

• Agent "location" is important. In the same office, agents have toured  a Seller's property and will recommend it to buyers. This increases the number of buyers.

• REALTORS in the same office work well together.
