Gulf
Beach Realty Inc.
as your Buyers Agent:
Only
I, as your BUYERS
AGENT, will show you
all the houses that meet the
criteria YOU
specify, whether an owner lists
the houses by a real estate
agency or sometimes even
privately. At the same
time Rich, as your
BUYERS AGENT. will give
you an objective opinion about
whether a home is right for you
or not. Since your BUYERS
AGENT is working only on your
behalf, I will only reveal to
the seller information that will
benefit your bargaining
position. Then, once you
have found a home that you want
to buy, I will research the
market, the seller and the
property history to make sure
you are not overpaying, and that
there are no hidden
complications or problems.
The net result? You get
the house you want and in many
cases pay less for it than
if you used the Listing Agent or
NO Agent, and certainly not
more. Just as important,
it cost no more to use a BUYERS
AGENT. That's because the
commission on a property is
actually two commissions:
normally one-half to the selling
or listing agent (possibly
more), and one-half (possibly
less) to the buyers agent who
would be me. As you see
this is at NO COST TO
YOU THE BUYER!
My services as a BUYERS AGENT
are FREE to the
Buyer. Why not
RELAX, have NO hassles, and let
a professional do the work?
Why
doesn't every house buyer use a
buyer's agent? First,
buyer's agents are a relatively
new class of agent and most
people just don't know they
exist. Others are still learning
about the advantages of using a
buyer's agent. Second, the
traditional seller's agent is
not about to recommend an agent
who will actively work to reduce
the final price of the house.
Thirdly, if the Listing Agent
sells the house, that agent
receives all the Professional
Fees (Commissions) negotiated
from the property seller.
When you SIGN ME as your
Registered Buyers Agent, you pay
NOTHING for the
service. The Seller's
Agent/Property Owner pays for my
Professional Fee. You can
cancel at any time that you are
NOT satisfied with my service by
putting it in writing. You
of course, can cancel at NO
CHARGE!
