Columbus OH Real Estate
Use an Exclusive Buyer Agent
Unlike traditional real estate agents who represent the seller of the properties they show, Exclusive Buyer Agents work exclusively to represent real estate buyers.
What is this all about?
A Conflict of Interest
There is a natural conflict of interest between the home buyer and the home seller.
Buyers and sellers have different needs.
- Sellers want their property to move quickly and at the highest price.
- Buyers want to find or build the right home for their needs and get the best value for it, in both the short and long-term.
How can one agent, or even a single agency, really represent both the buyer and the seller?
They can't.That is why it is essential to use an Exclusive Buyer Agent to help you with any type of home purchase – whether it is an existing home or a new build.
Exclusive Buyer Agents are in the best position to help save you money and show you the best selection of homes that can meet your needs.

Exclusive Buyer Agent Dedication
You can count on an Exclusive Buyer Agent to:
- Take the time to listen to what you want in a home
- Focus on finding the properties that match your needs
- Discuss the pros and cons of each home you view
- Make sure a complete and proper home inspection is done
- Advocate for you throughout the entire offer, negotiation and inspection re-negotiation process

The Hidden Real Estate Danger
Most home buyers do not realize that the homes traditional real estate agents have listed for sale are the same homes they represent the seller on too.
- Although a traditional Realtor may be friendly and "helpful", they are not your real estate agent.
- In fact, the listings agent has a legal responsibility to pass any helpful information on to the seller — information that weakens your bargaining position!
How about a "buyer broker"?
Unfortunately, many agents advertise themselves as so-called "buyer brokers" because they do not directly represent the seller of the homes they show you. However, there is still a conflict of interest because they typically work for the same agency that is selling the home. By loyalty to their agency, it may be difficult for them to show you homes listed with other agents and to help you get the best price for the home you do buy (because it is always better for the agency to get both sides of the commission).

Working with a "buyer broker" makes about as much sense as using a lawyer who works for the same law firm the represents the opposing side!
You need an Exclusive Buyer Agent
Why would you want to work with a seller's agent, dual agent, or designated buyer agent when it doesn't cost anything to have your own Exclusive Buyer Agent represent you?
