"If your agent isn't a Buyer Broker - he works for the
seller" - U.S. News & World 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 more 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."
- Readers 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 and then negotiating the lowest possible price. The best buyer
brokers are so-called exclusive agents - that is they represent only
buyers, never sellers. "Buyers average a 5% savings when
represented by a buyer's agent rather than a sales
agent."
- 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: 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.
- Smart Money
To protect themselves, buyers can retain their own exclusive
representative, called a buyer broker . . . Your local agent may offer
such services, but a buyers broker who also works as a seller's
broker can sometimes end up on both sides of the deal.
