1. Why is an exclusive Buyer's Agent different from other
real estate agents? Answer: There are a number of reasons.
-
We won't be showing you any of our real estate listings because we don't have
any listings.
-
We negotiate for you - not against you!
-
Our complete loyalty and confidentiality is with you, the buyer.
-
We secure the best price and terms for you, our client.
-
Our goal is to save you time, effort and money.
2. What geographic areas do you cover? Answer:
We can show you real estate throughout Birmingham, and in Jefferson and Shelby
Counties. Cities in particular include Mountain Brook, Vestavia, Hoover,
Trussville, Homewood, Clay, Pinson, Helena, Pelham, Alabaster, Inverness, Oak
Mountain and Chelsea.
3. If you don't have any listings, how can you show us a
variety of houses within our price range? Answer: That's
easy. Because we are members of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), we can show
you every house available on the market. And, since we are representing you and
not any particular seller, we can also show you homes that are "For Sale By
Owner" or "For Sale By Builder." You also won't be wasting your time looking at
homes that don't meet your criteria or interests.
4. How are you paid for your services? And, is it more
expensive to use a Buyer's Agent? Answer: Absolutely not.
There is no difference in the rate of pay. The most common way real estate
agents are paid is through the commission paid at closing. It is usually
divided between the listing agent and the Buyer's Agent. Because our fee comes
from the proceeds of the transaction, there is no need for you to incur any
additional costs for our services.
5. But if you work on commission, why would you try to get a
lower price for me on a house? Answer: That's a great
question. Let's say we can save you $10,000 on the purchase of your home. We
would only earn approximately $300 less commission. Your satisfaction and
repeat business, as well as any referrals, would be worth much more than that
to us. Besides, we have a legal obligation to represent your best interests.
