What is an Accredited Buyer Representative
and do you need one?
Most people start their home search by driving around
neighborhoods, looking at the exterior of the homes,
then calling the agent on the For Sale sign.
Did
you know you are calling an agent that represents
the Seller? That agent is legally bound to represent
the seller only. The seller's agent has a contractual
obligation to get the highest price and the best
terms for the seller.
If you are a buyer, you need someone to represent
you, someone who will be committed to your best interests.
You need an Accredited Buyer Representative.
My Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) professional
designation was achieved through a process established
by the National Association Of Realtors. This process
includes advanced education, testing, and submittal
of evidence in acting as an unaccredited buyer's
agent
in multiple transactions. Fewer than 1 in 500 real
estate agents have earned the ABR professional designation.
An Accredited Buyer Representative owes the following
duties to their homebuyer:
- Complete
loyalty
- Disclosure
of all known facts
- Accountability
- Confidentiality
- Reasonable
Care and Diligence
- Obedience
to lawfully instructions
Arizona
state law, the Realtors Code of Ethics, and general
principles of agency
law define these responsibilities.
In addition, I commit 100% to my buyers
by protecting their interest when dealing
with escrow officers,
mortgage
lenders, home inspectors, builders
and negotiate on the buyers behalf
which
leads
to savings
in time and
money.
This is very important when a
buyer is looking at new construction.
Never
sign
in or register
at a
new home
site without an Accredited
Buyer's Agent. You will lose all representation!
The
site salesperson
always
represents
the builder.
Does it cost anything to use an Accredited Buyer's Agent?
No, the fee is normally paid by the seller, costing
the buyer nothing.
