"EXCLUSIVE" REAL ESTATE BUYER AGENT
My Clients Deserve The Best Deal On Their Biggest Investment - Their Home!
EXCLUSIVE BUYER REPRESENTATION: Jim Parker is an Agent who represents the BUYER - not the SELLER - to get the best deal (i.e., contract price & terms) for the Buyer including sales comparables, location, condition, other features and resale potential of property.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Jim Parker will keep your personal information confidential and leverage off information about the Seller, property, or neighborhood to negotiate the best deal for the Buyer.
LOYALTY: Jim Parker will not jeopardize the clients best interest. It is important that the client is content & satisfied with their property.
DISCLOSURE: Jim Parker attempts to ensure his client is informed of material information (about the seller, sellers property, or sellers neighborhood that may affect the value of the home) so the client is able to make an informed purchase decision.
NEGOTIATE: Jim Parker performs a market analysis to make sure his clients never pay more than necessary for the home being purchased.
What is an Exclusive Buyer Agent and why is it important to a home Buyer?
BUYERS without their own Agent dedicated to Buyers only (i.e., Exclusive" Buyer Agent) may not get all the information needed to make a good decision, or get the best deal! Real estate agents place their license with a Broker (i.e., ReMax, Keller Williams, etc,). The Broker decides to represent the best interests of only the Buyer (i.e., Exclusive Buyer Agent); only the Seller (Exclusive Seller Agent); or try to represent the best interests of both the Buyer and Seller at the same time. If you use an agent who represents Sellers, you may face a legal issue of either "dual" or "designated" agency where the agent is supposed to get the best deal possible for both the Buyer and Seller and yet both parties are equally represented by the same Broker.
YES, with their Exclusive Buyer Agent
YOU can use your own Exclusive Buyer Agent to your advantage to negotiate the best deal using market knowledge and I'm here to give you that advantage! Visit my summary of Exclusive Buyer Agent services for more details how I can help.
Does it cost you anything extra to use an Exclusive Buyer Agent?
NO, and here's why:WHO PAYS THE BUYER AGENT'S COMMISSION?
Sellers pay a total commission to any or all agents to sell their home (represented by the Commission Zone box above) whether or not they sell using their own agent. If more than one agent is involved, the total commission the Seller has "already agreed to pay" is split between the Seller's Agent and YOUR Buyer agent. Since sellers pay a total commission which is split between any agents involved, you don't pay any more for your OWN agent on new or used homes. Yes, I represent the BUYER's interests at NO ADDITIONAL COST to the BUYER!

"Exclusive agencies are the best. They remove any conflict of interest, which is the main reason for considering a buyer broker in the first place." ...Kiplinger's CHANGING TIMES
"Buyer brokers:agents that buyers can call their own...If your real estate agent isn't a buyer broker, he(she) works for the seller...Buyers no longer have to fend for themselves." ...U.S. NEWS and WORLD REPORT
"Buyer brokers have the buyer's interest in mind. They act as a personal advocate, hunting for the right house and haggling with the seller's agent. In fact, a 1992 study by a national long distance company found that 200 relocating workers who used buyer brokers paid an average of 91% of the selling price, whereas those using traditional brokers paid 96%." ...DIVERSION MAGAZINE FOR PHYSICIANS
