Buyer Representation: How I Can Help You!
What does ABR mean to you? Nothing, unless you are buying real estate and want someone who will represent you in the transaction. ABR, Accredited Buyer Representative, is a designation given to Realtors® after extensive training in the area of representing buyers in a real estate transaction.
Do home buyers need the help of a Buyer Representative?
You bet! Because when buyers work with a real estate professional who is 100% loyal and completely committed to them, chances are that the entire home buying process will go smoothly, with more buyer satisfaction.
OK, exactly what is a Buyer Representative?
A Buyer Representative works solely for you and has no legal or other responsibilities to the seller. When working with a Buyer Representative, you have the advantage of personal representation, independent counseling, loyalty, confidentially and trust. On the other hand, while helping you present an offer, negotiate, and close a transaction, a general real estate agent has certain fiduciary responsibilities to the seller and agent of any property you choose.
Can a Buyer Representative show us the same properties?
Yes, a Buyer Representative can show you every home listed in the Multiple Listing Service, plus Real Estate Owned (REO) and For Sale Buy Owners (FSBO) properties. Additionally, a Buyer Representative can show you brand new and unlisted homes.
Will a Buyer Representative disclose more information to us?
Yes indeed. Because a Buyer Representative's fiduciary responsibility is to you, he or she can be more forthcoming with any negative aspects about properties that you're investigating for purchase.
What about negotiating the details?
First, a Buyer Representative is fully-qualified and highly skilled in the back and forth negotiations and financing queries that precede the closing of most real estate transactions. Second, a Buyer Representative is also experienced and committed to helping protect your best interest in the purchase. Representing and supporting you is a powerful combination.
