A. Unlike other real estate firms, Your Special Agent is an Exclusive Buyer Agency. We aren't listing brokers, so we avoid the risk of dual agency - when one broker represents both parties. By never, ever accepting property listings or representing Sellers, we can promise to represent the Buyer's best interests exclusively throughout the transaction, negotiating the best terms and lowest price. We can assist our Buyer clients in evaluating loans, financing options and recommend competent home inspectors. As an exclusive buyer agent, we offer undivided loyalty and protect the Buyer's best interests throughout the transaction. We will never ask you to limit the level of service we provide for our benefit. Our commitment as an Exclusive Buyer Agent is to always protect the Buyer's best interests. 

A. Did you know that if an agent represents the seller, everything you say must legally be carried back to the seller, thereby helping the seller make a better and more informed decision about how to deal with your offer? You may give away several strategic negotiating advantages to an agent that does not represent you. Our highly trained Exclusive Buyer Agents are dedicated to protecting the buyer's interests. Below are some of the many reasons why all buyers should use an EBA:

• Only an Exclusive Buyer Agent can guarantee to represent you in your home purchase and negotiate on your behalf.
• Listing agents and the company they work for represent the Seller, not the Buyer. Their job is to get the Seller the highest price and the best terms.
• An EBA's job is to get the Buyer the lowest price and the best terms.
• Because an EBA only represents buyers and does not have in-house or company listings, a seller is always unaware of the price buyers are willing to spend during the negotiation process, bringing the advantage back to the buyer and the buyer's wallet. For this reason alone, it’s common to save thousands of dollars during the critical negotiation process.
• An EBA provides facts regarding value, market/neighborhood conditions, and physical defects.
• The high level of negotiation training and expertise of an EBA truly levels the field when it is time to make an offer on a property.
• An EBA will insist that the buyer hire a qualified home inspector who will treat the buyer as their client and not simply as a customer.
• EBAs will do a better job for transferees than anyone else; they will give you the facts, good and bad.
• A listing agent cannot tell you about many things that would be detrimental for the Buyer because they work for the Seller.
• An EBA will help you with financing alternatives. They will advise you to be fully pre-approved by a lender, creating a negotiating advantage almost equal to that of a cash buyer.
• EBA’s have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interests first.
• It just makes sense! Sellers have their own representation, and you deserve the same.
• You wouldn't go into a court of law and use the same attorney the other side is using.  So why would you use the same agent the seller is using? You deserve your own agent, representing your best interests.

A. No, an Exclusive Buyer Agent represents the buyer throughout the transaction, at no additional cost to the buyer.
