Why Use a Buyers Agent?

The Buyer's Agent = That's me Joe Mendoza

I represent you, The Buyer. I am committed to helping you find the home you desire. Once I find your home, I will help you attain financing if needed and negotiate the lowest possible price for that home. Best of all, there's no cost to you.

The Seller's Agent = The Realtor Selling the Home

The Realtor with the sign post in the yard is, The Seller's Agent. The seller's agent is obligated to sell that home for the highest possible price for the seller and cannot help you, The Buyer, negotiate a lower price.

• Only a Buyers Agent can GUARANTEE to represent you in your home purchase.
  
  
• Only a Buyers Agent can GUARANTEE to negotiate on your behalf.
  
  
• A Buyers Agent provides the true facts as to value, market/neighborhood conditions, and obvious physical defects.
  
  
• The high level of negotiation training and expertise of a Buyers Agent truly levels the playing when it is time to make an offer on a property.
  
  
• Because a Buyers Agent only represents the buyer 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 is very common to save thousands of dollars during the critical negotiation process.
  
  
• A Buyers Agent will insist that the buyer utilize a qualified home inspector who will treat the buyer as their client, and not as a customer.
  
  
• Listing agents (the ones with the sign in the front yard) and the company that they work for represent the SELLER, not the buyer. Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price on the best terms.
  
  
• A Buyers Agent's job is to get the BUYER the lowest price on the best terms.
  
  
• Buyers Agents will do a better job for transferees that 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.
  
  
• A Buyers Agent will help you with your financing alternatives. They may advise you to be pre-approved by a lender. Why? Because a fully approved loan makes you a cash buyer.
  
  
• Buyers Agents have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interests first!
  
  
• It just makes sense
