You are about to make the largest investment of your life - the purchase of a home. Wouldn't it be smart to have someone who is 100% on your side - instead of just half on your side and half on the seller's? .....A specialist - instead of a generalist? .....Of course. The funny thing is - most people don't know that agent they think is representing them - really isn't always going to be on their side..... An Exclusive Buyer Agent - is much preferred to a "Buyer Agent" -- according to articles written by Consumer Reports, Suze Orman, CNN Money, WSJ, Kiplingers...etc.) Do you know the difference? You can choose door number one - or door number two... Door Number One.... A"buyer agent" -- They likely spend most of their time listing property for sale and servicing their seller clients. This includes agents from companies such as Century 21 / ReMax / Coldwell Banker / Prudential / Exit / Realty Executives etc. They call themselves a "buyer agent" when working with a buyer! They can get in "dual agency" conflict of interest situations - which is non-representation on the most important purchase of your life... Their broker (whom they report to and receive guidance from) - represents listed sellers. They talk to their buddies in their office (who list property) and at lunch. Sometimes - they make more money when the "sell" an in-house listing.

OR...

Door Number Two -- An Exclusive Buyer Agent, who specializes in exclusively representing the interests of the buyer - and can NEVER have dual agency conflicts of interest. They and their company never list property for sale. They don't "sell" you on a property - they tell you about the negatives - not just the positives. They conduct more due diligence so that you don't make a bad choice.

It's your choice.

Law firms don't allow your adversary to use another attorney at the same firm as your attorney (due to the very real possibility that information may be compromised) - but that same thing is allowed in Real Estate! In Illinois "designated agency" is the rule - meaning that if you use a traditional Real Estate agent - every agent in their office in your adversary...

Traditional agents in the Chicago area are supposed to disclose that they can get into conflict of interest situations with you - but unfortnately - that rarely happens.

-- How Real Estate commissions should be structured - if they are to benefit buyers.

We cover the Chicago Illinois area - including Lake County Real Estate, Cook County Real Estate, DuPage County Real Estate, McHenry County Real Estate, and Kane County.

Did you Know That 77% of Buyers Pick the Listing Agent of a Home They are Interested in (usually on the Internet) to represent them for their purchase? This is one of the WORST things a buyer could do! These types of agents are representing THE SELLER - NOT YOU.

Unfortunately - "agency disclosure" (the level of representation you receive) is only being provided correctly by 12% of all agents in the USA.

We tell you about the negatives of a property - not just the positives. You aren't "sold" a property. We work as your consultant, unbiased advocate and professional negotiator - not as a salesperson. We research up-and-coming key issues (we are highly networked with area Mayors and planning commissions and city planners -- because future plans can have an impact on surrounding Real Estate values - example - the Star Line) In this way - we can give you the best possible information on things that could impact the future appreciation potential of a property.

Consumer and Financial Magazines are reporting that now is the best time to use an Exclusive Buyer Agent.
