Many who enter a buyer transaction on the Columbus, OH real estate market don’t realize the difference between a buyer’s agent and an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent. The clients that we work with are all Buyer-Clients, but we are not a typical real estate agency. We are an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage. You can probably deduce from the category of our real estate niche that we only work with home buyers, but what you may not know are the benefits of having this type of agency at your disposal on the Columbus real estate market. These types of real estate agents only make up less than one half of one percent of agencies nation-wide, so if you’re a buyer, you will want to use them if you have the opportunity to. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Exclusive Buyer’s Agents do NOT participate in dual agency. We consider it unethical to work on behalf of a buyer and seller in the same transaction. How can any Columbus real estate professional claim to be looking out for the best interest of one party if they’re also helping the other? Exclusive Buyer’s Agents work ONLY with home buyers, ensuring that they will look out for your best interest and yours alone, during a transaction.
2. Exclusive Buyer’s Agents do NOT list homes or represent sellers. Part of our commitment to adhering to the highest ethical standards in real estate is to work only with buyers. We represent solely the best interests of this party in every transaction, reassuring our clients that we are only working in their best interest.
3. Exclusive Buyer’s Agents will show their clients all types of properties. From listings from a variety of agents to For Sale By Owner homes to distressed properties, we will present our clients with all of the options. We’ll work with you to find the property that best fits your needs.
4. We offer a unique relationship of trust to our Buyer-Clients. Because of our goals and priority to work in the best interest of the buyer, the majority of people who use an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage for their Columbus home search trust their agent. Oftentimes, people are hesitant to trust the real estate agent that they work with due to dual agency or the fact that they are showing buyers the listings that they’re selling. In this transaction, you have an advocate who is working 100% for you.
These are just a few of the many reasons why working with an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent may be the right choice for you as you embark on your Columbus, OH real estate transaction. Buying a home is a stressful process, and it’s easy to get overlooked as a buyer in favor for seller demands. When you use an agent who works ONLY on the behalf of the buyer’s side of a transaction, you can feel confident knowing that you’re getting the full support of the real estate professional that you’re working with.
If you have any questions about what an Exclusive Buyer’s Brokerage can do for you during your Columbus real estate transaction, don’t hesitate to contact me and ask. I’ll explain our goals and how we can help guide you throughout your home search. I hope to hear from you soon.
