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..... Most
People Don't Know - That 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...
They can get in "dual agency" situations - which is non-representation
on the most important purchase of your life...
You
are about to make the largest investment of your life - the purchase of
a home. 
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 only call themselves
a "buyer agent" when working with a buyer!
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.
It's your choice.
The National Association of REALTORS®, states "Only agents that work for companies that never represent sellers can be called "Exclusive Buyer's Agents.""

Proud Members of: 
Did you
know that ANY licensed Real Estate Agent can act as a buyer's agent, just as
any licensed doctor can perform heart surgery? But if you were having heart
surgery wouldn't you want a specialist?
We show
you ALL MLS listed properties by ANY COMPANY in an unbiased manner -as well
as ALL For-Sale-By-Owner properties, new construction, pre-foreclosure and other
types of properties meeting your criteria - giving you the widest selection
of home options. 
After our initial complimentary non-obligation consultation with you - feel free to contact some of our past clients about how we provided unbiased, straightforward opinion and analysis, superb negotiation and transaction management skills, and true advocacy.
We helped area home buyers save over one million dollars last year, and became the #1 Exclusive Buyer Brokerage in the Chicago area.
We measure
our success, not on how many millions sold, or how much money we save our clients
- but on how many times a past client refers us to their friends and family.
Sophisticated investors and home buyers know that - as exclusive buyer agents - we know the Chicago Illinois area real estate better than any entity in the area.
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.
Exclusive Buyer Brokerages (and their Exclusive Buyer Agents) - choose to not list property for sale - so that they may represent you 100% - 100% of the time without the conflicts of interest you may have if you use a "buyer agent" who lists property for sale (represents sellers). This is the main difference between an Exclusive Buyer Agent and a Buyer Agent.

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.
