Dear visitor,
thank you for your interest in finding out more about the option of
choosing an ABR®--Accredited Buyer's Representative--to represent
your interests during your home purchase.
At the outset of any search for a home, many buyers still think it
helpful to contact the listing agent for information on a property of
interest. The benefits being that the listing agent ideally knows more
about the property than any other agent. The listing agent, however,
has a fiduciary relationship with the SELLER--meaning the agent
works solely for the interest of the seller, not for you as the buyer.
The listing agent, because of this relationship, cannot provide you
with an accurate snapshot of the market, cannot tell you whether or
not she thinks the home you are looking at might be overpriced, that
similar houses in the area may have sold for significantly less money,
and that, for example, resale value in this area might be affected by a
race track one mile away or the town plans to develop the 40 acre
parcel right behind the property into a public pool.
It is much more beneficial, as a buyer, to have someone representing
you in the process--from establishing your wants and needs and what
your dream home should look like to evaluating the market and
negotiating the best price for you.
Below is an eccerpt from the REBAC® (Real Estate Buyer’s Agent
Council) website to further explain this importance:
Buying a home is no small matter. Besides being the largest financial
transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most
complex. There are many good reasons to work with a qualified real
estate professional—especially a trained professional who has earned
the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation,
representing best-in-class buyer services.
When you look for an ABR® before you look for a home, you’ll be
served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. And you’ll be
working with someone who has gone the extra mile by completing
specialized training in delivering the best in buyer-representation
services. Plus, a REALTOR® who has an ABR® Designation also has
an established track record, with proven experience in representing
the concerns of homebuyers.
The ABR® Designation is awarded through the Real Estate Buyer’s
Agent Council, or REBAC, which was founded in 1988 to promote
superior buyer-representation skills and services. REBAC is an affiliate
of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).
In my function as Accredited Buyer's Representative, I have helped
countless clients through the process of purchasing their home. If you
are thinking about purchasing a home in Ulster County, NY, I will be
happy to talk to you about representing you as your agent.
Sincerely,
