In 1957 Grandpa said, "The three most important words when purchasing real estate are
Location - Location - Location."
In 2007 Grandma says "The three most important words when
purchasing real estate are EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT."
WHAT IS AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT?
As Exclusive Buyers Only Agents we are devoted to working only with buyers seeking
to purchase property in the Greater Sacramento Region of California. Our firm, BUYERS ONLY REALTY, ***Does not take listings***
and we do not practice DUAL AGENCY. That is, we do not represent sellers nor do we attempt to represent both buyer and seller
simultaneously (dual agency). We owe complete fiduciary loyalty to the buyer.
We do work with all real estate agents in the area and are members of the Multiple
Listing Service (MLS). Through us you have access to the entire Sacramento Region's real estate market, whether you are
considering new homes, resale homes, for sale by owners, or land.
Our clients are often surprised that we don't try to sell them on the homes we
show them. We simply point out what we see as the good and the bad points of the properties that we tour. Our purpose
is to help buyers find the one property that will best suit them. We have no vested interest in any particular property.
This keeps us objective and focused on our client's needs rather than promoting a particular real estate company's properties
listed for sale. So, we don't sell; we don't have to. Our clients tell us what they like and when they are ready to make an
offer.
WHY SHOULD I USE A BUYER ONLY AGENCY?
As Exclusive Buyer's Agents, we at BUYERS ONLY REALTY, pledge 100% loyalty and
representation to buyers. Using our training in negotiation techniques we bargain hard for the best terms and price
for the buyer.
The natural tendency for buyers, when they see an attractive property advertised,
is to contact the listing agent directly. Seems to make sense, presumably, that agent knows everything about that property.
BAD IDEA! The listing agent is contractually obligated to obtain the best price and terms for the seller. He or she must
not divulge any weakness in the seller's negotiating position.
An Exclusive Buyer's Agent, on the other hand, can and should use every legal and ethical
device to obtain the most favorable outcome for the buyer through every step of the home buying process.
We are committed to that objective!
