2. How much of a difference does it really make to go Exclusive?
Studies have shown that by using an Exclusive Buyer Agent, buyers will be able to view more houses. Since EBAs do not take listings, they are not biased in steering clients towards the listings that they need to sell. By going exclusive, you can see any house you want, including properties being sold directly by owners or bank-owned properties.
Additionally, our company has also developed a specialized private market program that allows our clients to see homes that they are interested in, even when they are not currently on the market.
Buyers represented by an Exclusive Buyers Agent will pay an average of 5.5-8% less for their homes. That’s because buyer-brokers are not only skilled advocates who negotiate on their clients’ behalf, they can also provide a purchaser with financial and personal information about the seller, giving the buyer potential negotiating leverage.
3. Does it cost extra money to use an EBA?
No. Agents’ fees, are paid by the seller, whether there is an agent exclusively for the buyer, or just a traditional agent.
4. What does the process involve?
The process begins with a no-obligation, informative consultation, in which we get acquainted with all of our client’s needs. After this, we design a plan individually catered to your needs.
Once you have agreed to become a client, we search for houses that meet your criteria and present you with options. When a house has been selected, we investigate and inform you of all relevant concerns and issues, and we advocate for your needs and negotiate the best possible price.
