| "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." |

| "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." |

| "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." |

| "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." |

| "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" |

| 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. |

| 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. |
