THE
RIGHT TO EQUAL REPRESENTATION
Purchasing a property without your own real estate agent is like being
in a tennis match with you on one side and three people on the other!
You’re the one taking the money to closing. You deserve your own
agent on your side.
THE
RIGHT TO FULL DISCLOSURE
If a real estate licensee is not a buyer’s agent, he is working
for himself as a transaction broker or for the seller as a seller’s
agent, but not for you. You'd be treated more like a customer than a
client. He could disclose material facts about the property, but nothing
that would elevate your position over the seller’s.
THE
RIGHT TO THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE
You have the right to choose to be represented. If the broker is not
working for you as a buyer’s agent, he can’t help you determine
if a property is overpriced or give you advice about offering less than
the asking price. A seller’s agent must treat you fairly and can’t
misrepresent any aspects of a property, but he’s legally obligated
to try to get the most money and best terms for the seller. He must,
by law, tell the seller everything he knows about you, including how
much you can afford to pay.
A transaction
broker is no one’s agent. He will only handle the mechanics of
the transaction. He can’t give you advice or direction meant to
give you an advantage over the seller.
THE RIGHT TO EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATION
This means that you’ll receive:
- Confidentiality and our undivided loyalty without the conflicts
of interest that can occur when the agent and his office all work for
both sellers and buyers.
- Access to all available properties for sale, whether listed with
Realtors® on the MLS, or offered for sale by the owners (“FSBOs
”).
- Complete disclosure of all the information we can find about
the seller’s situation and the weaknesses and strengths of a property.
- Our investigation of outside factors and analysis of sales data
so you can make an informed purchase decision.
- Our years of professional negotiating experience working for
you, to get you the best possible price and terms.
- Our promotion of only your interests as we guide you through
every step of the transaction – from the search for your home
through contract negotiations, title discovery, inspections and resolutions,
loan approval and closing. We’ll be your advocate all the way.
WE
HAVE NO OTHER LOYALTIES
If a broker from most any other office says he’ll be your buyer’s
agent, there will be conflicts if that broker and the others in his
office also list property for sale. Even if he assures you that they’ve
done everything to avoid the transference of your confidential information
to the seller. The leak of that information could hinder your purchase
at the best price and terms. Attorneys in the same law firm won’t
represent both parties in a transaction. We believe that Realtors®
shouldn ’t either.
All of our agents
work only for buyers – no conflicts, no reason to steer buyers
to properties because of other loyalties. We have no other loyalties.
We’re Realtors®
who’ve chosen to work as homebuyers advocates, not as salespeople.
We’ll never sell you short. In fact, we’ll never sell you
anything! But we will do everything within our power to help you buy
the very best property for you.
We’re active
members of the local and national Realtor® associations and multiple
listing services, with access to all of the listing and sales data available
to all member brokers, but with a distinct difference. We use all that
we can find out to your advantage, to promote only your interestsas
the buyer.
We’re paid
at closing from the commission the listing broker receives from the
seller. No extra cost to you to have the best buyer agents in the industry
working for you.
We can find your
home anywhere in Boulder County or the surrounding areas. But to finally
be able to move into your own home involves much more than just finding
a house. We promise to guide you every step of the way, contract through
closing.
