It makes a big difference which Realtor you choose when you're buying a home. Here's TEN REASONS why a genuine Exclusive Buyer Agent is the BEST choice for Buyers.

1. Only one type of real estate company, one with Exclusive Buyer Agents, will guarantee in writing to negotiate on behalf of the buyer on any house you want to buy.

2.  Only one type of real estate company, one with Exclusive Buyer Agents, will guarantee in writing to represent buyers only, never the sellers - never both sides during your transaction.

3.  Only one type of real estate company, one with Exclusive Buyer Agents, will guarantee in writing to represent the buyer exclusively, because genuine Exclusive Buyer Agents are never Dual agents or Split agents, and genuine Exclusive Buyer Agents never take listings, or represent sellers.

4.  An Exclusive Buyer Agent is obligated to provide the true facts as to value, market and neighborhood conditions, and obvious physical defects. Exclusive Buyer Agents will point out reasons for not buying a property.

5.  An Exclusive Buyer Agent will insist that the buyer utilize a qualified home inspector who will treat the buyer as their client, and not as a customer.

6.  Listing Agents, (the ones with the sign in the front yard who are the seller's Realtor) and the company that they work, for represent the SELLER, not the buyer. Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price on the best terms. A genuine Exclusive Buyer Agent always represents buyers only.

7.  The Exclusive Buyer Agent's job is to get the BUYER the lowest price on the best terms. Exclusive Buyer Agents will do a better job for transferees than anyone else because they will give you the facts, good and bad. A listing agent will not tell you about many things that would be detrimental for the BUYER because they work for the SELLER.

8.  Exclusive Buyer Agents help you with your financing alternative. We'll advise you to be pre-approved for a loan. Why? Because a fully approved loan puts you in a better negotiating position.

9.  Exclusive Buyer Agents have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interests first - as our client. With an Exclusive Buyer Agent on your side, you'll always receive full representation, with your interests protected, and your financial information is kept confidential.

10.  With a genuine Exclusive Buyer Agent on your side, you'll always receive 100% Buyer Representation, 100% of the Time - on any home you buy!

Don't get fooled by traditional Realtors who claim they can be your "exclusive" buyers agent when they - and their company - have listings of homes to "sell" you.
