A BUYERS AGENT/ACCREDITED BUYERS REPRESENTATIVE COSTS YOU, THE BUYER, NOTHING, because it is common practice on listed property in the State of Washington for the entire commission to be paid by the Seller. Even though the Seller pays the commission, in the State of Washington the Buyers Agent owes all loyalty and fiduciary responsibility only to his or her Buyer Client.

MOST HOMEBUYERS DO NOT KNOW THAT EXCLUSIVE BUYER AGENCY EXISTS, AND ARE NOT AWARE OF THE SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES OF USING AN AGENT THAT REPRESENTS THEM. MOST HOMEBUYERS THEREFORE, ACTUALLY WORK WITH TRADITIONAL AGENTS REPRESENTING THE SELLER THINKING THAT SUCH AGENTS REPRESENT THEM. WITH THE TRADITIONAL SELLER BASED SYSTEM NO LONGER MAKING SENSE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BUYER HAS REPRESENTATION JUST LIKE THE SELLER. THE EVOLUTION OF BUYER AGENCY NOW PROVIDES ADVOCACY, INFORMATION AND ADVICE FROM THE BUYER'S PERSPECTIVE. THE SERVICES OF ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATIVES SATISFY THAT NEED.

BUYING A HOME OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REAL ESTATE TODAY IS NOT A SIMPLE PROCESS, AND IT IS VITAL THAT A BUYER HAS PROPER REPRESENTATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

A LISTING AGENT CANNOT SHOW YOU PROPERTY THAT IS IN COMPETITION WITH HIS OR HER LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE A LISTING AGENT OWES ALL LOYALTY AND FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO THE OWNERS OR SELLERS OF THE PROPERTY HE OR SHE LISTS FOR SALE.

AS YOUR ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTATIVE I WILL BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION ALL PROPERTIES LISTED FOR SALE IN THE PRICE RANGE AND AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE INTERESTED. IT DOES NOT MATTER TO ME WHO THE LISTING AGENT OR BROKER IS ON ANY OF THE PROPERTIES. I ENJOY THE SEARCH AND HELPING PEOPLE FIND WHAT THEY WANT.  AND, AS YOUR BUYER'S AGENT, I'LL GET THE BEST PRICE AND TERMS FOR YOU, THE HOME BUYER.

YOU WILL NEVER feel pressured or uncomfortable in your search as long as I am your Buyers Agent. Protecting your interests is always my first priority to assure that when the time comes, you will feel confident in your decision.
