STEPS TO ENSURE THE SELECTION OF A QUALITY EXCLUSIVE BUYER BROKER:
1. Be sure the Exclusive Buyer Broker is a Realtor whose company does not ever take STEPS TO ENSURE THE SELECTION OF A QUALITY EXCLUSIVE BUYER BROKER:
1. Be sure the Exclusive Buyer Broker is a Realtor whose company does not ever take listings or represents sellers.
2. Use only Exclusive Buyer Brokers who have access to For Sale By Owner, New Construction by Builders, and Realtor inventory Homes in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
3. Membership in a national organization helps to assure a higher standard of quality service (for example, Buyer's Resource, the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA), the Real Estate Buyer�s Agent Council (REBAC), etc.
4. Insist upon signing an Exclusive Buyer Brokerage Agency Agreement. This agreement assures that the real estate agent and company are committed to the buyer exclusively. Those companies who do not use this agreement are not able or willing to make a full commitment to you.
5. Be sure that the Exclusive Buyer Agent uses a Purchase and Sale Contract that is "buyer friendly." (Most contracts are seller oriented.) Your Exclusive Buyer Agent will negotiate terms and conditions in the purchase contract that offer greater protection to homebuyers.
BUYING A BUILDER�S NEW HOME: SHOULD I USE AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER AGENT? Yes. It is just as important to use a qualified Exclusive Buyer Agent Realtor in purchasing a new home. Benefits include:
1. There is no additional cost involved to have an Exclusive Buyer Broker represent you. The builder cannot give you any cash back because you are not licensed as a real estate agent. It would be illegal, so therefore the builder cannot give anything back to you, the buyer.
2. Knowledge and history of various developments help match the buyer with the right community.
3. Knowledge of builders' pricing strategies helps buyers determine best negotiating strategy.
4. Knowledge of other builders of equal and greater quality help buyers get the best builder for the money.
5. Knowledge of builders' reputations regarding quality, follow- up, warranty, and financial stability, help prevent problems after the sale is closed.
6. In many cases, lower prices or other concessions are offered to buyers with buyer agents, as builders consider these agents as "multiple sources of buyers." Individual buyers buy only one home; buyer agents bring in many buyers.
Be sure, however, to use only Exclusive Buyer Agents who can help buyers with both new and existing homes. So-called new home specialists often do not have access to or knowledge of existing homes and may have monetary relationships with builders, which can cost you thousands.
SELLING YOUR HOME: CAN AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER AGENT HELP ME? Yes. An Exclusive Buyer Agent only represents homebuyers and does not take listings. These agents, however, work with hundreds of listing agents. They know which ones will aggressively market your home and provide excellent seller representation. ... show more
