Why hire a Buyer's Agent?
The first thing to ask is "why should you hire a buyer's agent?" For this it is important to first understand the law and how it pertains to the seller's agent, also known as the listing agent.
When you are dealing with the agent of the seller, by agency law, that agent owes a responsibility to the seller to represent the seller's best interests first in the negotiating any offer. The goal of the Seller is to sell the property at the highest possible price. The goal of a buyer is to buy the property at the lowest possible price with the most favorable terms. Hence, if you are buying, you need a buyer's agent representing your interests.
A Real Estate Specialist - ABR
When you see the ABR designation after your real estate professional's name, you know you're working with a committed Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) whose focus is on your best interests. And because the designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) only to Realtors® who meet specific educational and experiential criteria, you can expect to receive the highest quality of personalized service.
Skilled at serving a buyer's needs
The Buyer's Agent who has earned the ABR designation is particularly skilled at servicing your special needs as a buyer. With your interests in mind, your agent may develop a Comparable Market Analysis, revealing the listing and sold prices of similar properties in your target area. Your agent can also reveal helpful information about the seller, including the reason for selling and possible concessions.

Hiring us as your Buyer Representative is easy, but it does require a commitment. Best of all, through the mutual cooperation of sales commission rates between the listing and buyer's broker, the services are generally/mostly paid by the seller at the closing --saving you money.
