Exclusive Home Buyer Services and Representation

Congratulations!  You have decided to purchase a home, or are thinking about buying one! Now You need Buyer Representation. WHAT IS HOME BUYER REPRESENTATION? Home buyer representation means that you, the buyer, have a licensed real estate agent working for you, trying hard to get you the best price and terms in the purchase of a home. The best part is that home buyer representation costs you nothing. TYPES OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS In Tennessee there are basically two types of real estate agents: Traditional agents who work for the seller. A buyer's agent works solely for the buyer. Consider this, if you are working with a traditional agent and you tell the agent that you are willing to pay full price to get a particular house, the traditional agent is obligated by law to tell that information to the seller. So what do you think you will finally pay for the house? You can tell that same information, or any other important information to a buyer's agent, and the agent will not divulge it to anyone. Since buying a home for most people is the largest investment they ever make, it certainly seems to make sense to work with someone who will work for you, the buyer. Only a buyer's agent will do that. A thought to ponder - A traditional agent refers to a buyer as a customer, because the agent is trying to sell the buyer a house, preferably one of their own listings. A buyer's agent will refer to you as a client, because that agent is going to represent your interests in helping you buy a house. There is a big difference. Remember, not every real estate agent represents you!  Unless you sign a Buyer's Representation Form for your protection, you are not represented by the agent showing you homes.  Protect yourself and work only with Exclusive Buyer Agents with a proven track record of Buyer Representation.
