My husband and I just purchased a SFR in Irvine using an exclusive buyer's broker. We found him through the National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents (NAEBA ) at http://www.naeba.org. We're really pleased with John's service and advice. Good luck.

Hi Al~

The seller typically pays the commission so as others have indicated, you do not necessary need a contract in place to work with an agent although the California Association of Realtors has a contract that can be used if you prefer to have one in place. It may be more important for you to find someone that you are compatible with.

I'd be happy to help you in your search. I am a real estate broker and an MBA who grew up in Irvine, live here currently and have two kids in the Irvine school district. I have been in the Irvine real estate industry for 20 years. Needless to say I am very familar with the Westpark area and homes in Plaza Vista Elementary boundries.

We work days, nights and weekends and are committed to doing a fabulous job for all of our clients. What we promise is personal care and outstanding service; backed by thorough research, in depth knowledge of the market and exceptional negotiation skills. Last but not least, I am personally always available to you and return every call promptly.

You can learn more about me or even search for properties by going to our website. I also be happy to talk to you if you wanted to contact me. My information is below. Thanks Al.

Hi Al

Let me know if you need help getting prequalified for the loan. My office is in Huntington Beach and I can(either in person, via e-mail, or on the phone) go over all the different financing options available with your particular downpayment, employment, and credit. That way you are fully aware of rates, cost, and monthly payment before moving forward with an agent. You can either visit my companies website or give me a call if you so choose.

Hi there AL. I would like to apply for this position to help you. I do have a very comprehensive system for buyers that will allow them to have full access to the MLS and be the first to know when a property has had a price reduction or if a new property comes on the market that matches your criteria.

I can provide you with the real facts about Short sales and Reo's which do make up a substantial amount of the Inventory today.
I can also provide you with reports form an Exclusive program called Market trends which is exclusive to us. This system wiill be very powerful for you in not only helping you determine the market value but also help you to secure the property.

Please fee fee to view my website and testimonials, I work in Irvine and do know the inventory and best deals on the market.

I do hope you will give me the opportunity to work with you

Kind Regards

HI Al,

While some agents do offer a buyer's contract.....it's not necessary! You need to make sure that you are working with an agent who understands your needs and is providing you good information.

I like to start by working with you to identify your criteria...price, size, area....pool? etc..then we can get a working list of homes to go see. Once we have that, I do some background research on the homes to know what they owe, when they purchased it..if it's a short sale or REO, I like to find out the terms and where they are in the approval process. The more information we have, the better we can negotiate price and terms.

I'd be happy to work with you on this....my website is below and you can read about me and my team....our approach to things, also you can search for homes there. Let me know what other information I can give you.

Hello Al,

You don't need a buyer's agent contract to buy a house in Irvine. You should check out compatibility with 2 or 3 different agents before selecting one to go to contract with. You should also compare their venues for allowing you to conduct searches on your own. I have such a venue at:
