YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO EQUAL REPRESENTATION
Purchasing a property without your own real estate agent
is like being in a tennis match with you on one side
and three opponents on the other side: the seller, the
seller's agent, and the the agent who brings you to the
property! Your money provides the funds for the closing
transaction, and you deserve to have a BUYER agent on
YOUR side of the court.
THE RIGHT TO FULL DISCLOSURE
If your representative is not a BUYER agent, then the
agent is working for the seller as the seller's agent,
not yours! You are just a customer for the seller,
but the seller is the agent's client.
THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF CHOICE
A seller's agent must treat you fairly and can't misrepresent
any aspects of a property, but that agent must try
to get the most money and best terms for the seller.
The seller's agent must, by law, tell the seller
everything that has been learned about you. So, if
the agent is not working for you as a buyer's agent,
then that agent cannot help you determine that a
property is overpriced or give you advice about offering
less than the asking price.
*The seller's agent cannot reveal the seller's
motives to you, but does have a lawful duty to reveal
your
motives to the seller.
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE TYPE OF AGENT YOU WANT
Even if a dual agent agrees to act as a buyer's
agent, there will be conflicts if that agent or the
agent's
office also lists property for sellers. Those conflicts
may prevent your purchase of the right property at
the best price and terms. Attorneys in the same law
firm will not represent both parties in the same
transaction. Agents in the same real estate office
shouldn't either.
WE HAVE NO OTHER LOYALTIES EXCEPT
TO YOU
All agents at Buyer's Option Realty Services have chosen
to work only for buyers, so no conflicts exist. We
have no reason to steer buyers to certain properties
because of other loyalties.
We represent BUYERS exclusively. Our agents are Realtors
who have chosen to work as advocates for home buyers.
We are committed to consistent professional representation
for the BUYER.
