WHO DOES A REAL ESTATE AGENT REPRESENT?

LISTING AGENT

also known as "seller's agent". This is the agent whose name is on the sign. Legally obligated to represent the seller's interests. Duty is to get the highest price and best terms for the seller, maintain seller's confidentiality and disclose all known information about prospective buyers to the seller, including how much you "really are willing to pay". Buyers need to be very careful about the information they disclose to a listing agent. Seller is "client", and buyers are "customers" to a listing agent.

EXCLUSIVE BUYERS AGENT

an agent retained by the buyer to represent the buyer's interests. Requires an agreement of the parties for agent to represent the buyer - not all agents who show homes to buyers represent them! Duty is to locate the right home for the buyer, and negotiate on buyers' behalf for best price and terms, maintain buyer's confidentiality and disclose all known information about the seller AND THE HOME to the buyer. Buyer is "client", sellers are "customers" to a buyers agent.

DUAL AGENT

whenever the agents for the seller and the buyer work for the same real estate company, or "broker", they BOTH become DUAL AGENTS. Neither buyer nor seller are fully represented. "Designated agency" is a form of dual agency. Liken this to attorneys not representing both sides in the same court case - when they work with both sides they are conducting "mediation" - helping the parties reach their own agreements, but not going to bat for either one.

WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER?

An agent representing the seller?
An agent representing the seller and you, the buyer?
An EXCLUSIVE BUYERS AGENT representing only you, the buyer!

Home Buyer Testimonials

New Construction

· Don’t be fooled by the Real Estate Agent sitting in a model home… most of these agents represent the builder's best interest. Practically every home builder has a contractual agreement with a designated Real Estate Agent/Broker to list, market and sell homes exclusively for the builder. And because they represent the builder, their job is to sell you a home for the highest price you are willing to pay, and extract the most amount of money they can from your budget.

You need a skilled professional Buyers Agent, like Dave, on your side. As your Buyers Agent, Dave will protect your best interests... He is a new home buyer's dream! Dave will represent you, not the builder, and he will make sure you are getting the most value for your money in every aspect of building a new home. Dave will assist you in finding a reputable home builder, a house plan and a lot location that best suits your needs. He will explore different financing options to fit your budget and make your dream home possible. He will use his knowledge of the market and his negotiating skills to “nail down” the lowest price and close the deal for your desired style, size and quality of home. Dave will make the entire building process as smooth as possible from start to finish. The best part is… You pay nothing for Dave to represent you as your Buyers Agent, because the Builders Selling Agent enters into an agreement with the Buyers Agent to relinquish a portion of his/her commission to the Buyers Agent for bringing a qualified buyer to the bargaining table.
