You should have your own Exclusive Real Estate Agent. This is the most important part of success in any Real Estate transaction.

Many first-time Buyers will go out and purchase a home directly from the Sellers' Broker or from a Home Builder's Representative.

This is probably the Biggest Mistake a Home Buyer can make !

Even with the homes that we listed, we recommend that you allow us to assist you in selecting your own Exclusive Buyers' Representative/Consultant!

The Sellers' Brokers or Builder's Reps may be the most honest people in the world, but they have an existing relationship with the Sellers. They have "promised" the Seller that they will get the best possible price for their home. They have committed to represent the best interest of the Sellers.

Then a Buyer calls the Sellers Broker's or Builder's phone number off some advertisement and says, "Please, help me buy the home that you're selling.".

Generally, this leads to paying $1,000s more for the home than the Buyer who has their own Representative/Consultant. And this really becomes a problem when the Buyer has to sell the home quickly, that they paid too much to buy.

A Buyer without their own Representative/Consultant will not only pay too much for the home, but they will almost always make everyone of the Biggest Mistakes that a Buyer can make!

By the way, buying directly from a Home Seller without your own Buyer's Rep or Consultant is even worse! Home Sellers who are not licensed Real Estate Professional can do almost anything to gain an advantage in a real estate transaction. They have no concerns of losing a professional license, being fined by the state's Real Estate Commission or disciplined by the Real Estate Brokers Association.

And if the Home Seller is a licensed Real Estate Professional, they can do almost anything to ensure their best interest as long as they don't commit fraud or violate local, state or federal laws.

The bottom line is that you should always have your own exclusive Buyer's Rep or Consultant!
