Accredited Buyer Representative
The Benefits of Using an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®)
THE ABR® DESIGNATION
The Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council ("REBAC") of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® who meet the specified educational and practical experience criteria. To learn more about the indepth requirements an agent needs to fulfill to be awarded the ABR® designation, I invite you to visit the Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council web site.
What is The COST of Contracting an Accredited Buyers Agent?
The right question may be, "What will it cost me if I don't use an Accredited Buyer Representative?" Purchasing a home without representation is possibly the biggest financial risk one can make. Failure to discover the actual value of the property or defects in the property can be very costly mistakes. A buyer's agent can guide you step by step in the process to avoid mistakes. With a buyer's agent you can freely ask for advice, and I act proactively to discover foreseeable problems.
Who Pays the Buyer's Agent Fee?
What is intriguing for the home buyer is that I do NOT charge a fee to my buying clients for my services as an Accredited Buyer Representative. The buyer agent's fee is typically developed from the sales commission paid by the home seller. Now, even though my fee is paid by the seller, the seller is informed in writing that I represent, exclusively, the interests of my buying client. That, I, in no way owe any duties to the seller. As a result of my ABR status, my home buying clients enjoy the security of knowing that they have highly qualified, professional representation working for them, instead of the seller, to represent their interests & real estate INVESTMENT concerns at no direct cost.
Why Do You Need a Buyer's Agent?
Purchasing real estate is a complex process and is a major FINANCIAL transaction with many details to be handled, all of which can affect the ultimate true value of the purchase. In the majority of cases the seller will be represented by an agent. Furthermore, most real estate agents traditionally have worked primarily for the home seller's best interest. However a recent change in the law allows the buyer of residential real estate to hire a Buyers Agent to work for them. Up until recently, most people were unaware of this previous agent/home seller relationship which tended to be adversarial to the home buyers interest.
I'll help you develop an offering price, interpret the market and comparable homes, walk you through the process of negotiation, recommend professional services for your home buying needs, show you all available homes - including homes for sale by the owner, new homes, and more. You need someone to look out for your interests - someone who is committed to you, not the seller! Therefore it is wise to take advantage of this new home buyers legal right to have competent and fair representation for the buyers interest in a real estate transaction.
What Professional Services Do I Offer as a Buyer's Agent?
A buyers agent advice and consultation provides the home buyer peace of mind. Having an experienced, knowledgeable real estate professional negotiating for you helps to set a more buyer-favorable offering price, and structuring other terms of the offer. A buyer's agent will be able to share information as he becomes aware of any new factor or development that may occur - and usually does.
