Buyer Representation

After years of explaining exclusive buyer agency to buyer clients by their respective agents, buyers still  do not understand or appreciate how this representation works.  Buyers in mass the last few months have stormed in the model homes of Mungo, Essex, and Hurricane builders just to name a few to a capitalize on the $8,000 tax credit before it expired. Little do they know or understand once they step foot into the  model home/office and they are greeted by licensed agents whose sole purpose is to represent the BUILDERS/SELLERS INTERESTS not their own. Despite all the glad-handing and warm smiles from the builder reps, buyers despite their intelligence and life expertise throw away nearly all their buying/negotiating power by going it alone without the exclusive representation of an informed, aggressive buyer agent/ advocate. When I have represented buyers in the past, I have gotten builders to pay ALL BUYER closing costs, build privacy fences, provide custom appliances, and use my lender not the builders plus a myriad of other concessions affording my buyer cleints with literally thousands of dollars of concessions they would have otherwise missed out on, never knowing the better. Couple this with the fact that buyer representation costs the buyer/client NOTHING we are paid entirely by the seller not the buyer client, and you begin to see the  incredible power of buyer advocacy. The next time you or a friend or family member decides to entertain buying a new build home priced anywhere from $99,000 or $9,000,000 have them consult and hire an exclusive buyer agent who can and will serve their collective interests save them money and make sure their wants, needs, and desires not the builders are at the forefront of the transaction.  I await your call. 803-917-1893 www.troyott.com
