Relocating Elsewhere?

We have provided OUR answers to nine important questions shown below.  So, for your sake, please ask all of these same questions to the other Realtors® you may be considering.   We simply cannot over-emphasize the fact that their answers to these questions are VERY IMPORTANT to you!  Then, please compare their answers to ours, which are given below, following each of the questions.

1.  How do you get paid?   

It need not cost you any additional money to use the services of an Exclusive Buyer Broker.  We offer several options.  The option usually chosen by our Clients is for us to be paid by the SELLER from the proceeds of the sale, through the normal split between listing and selling brokers.  The bottom line is, "You can hire an Exclusive Buyer Broker at no additional cost to you!"

 2. How can you save me money? 

There are a number of ways your Exclusive Buyer Broker will work to save you money on your next home purchase.  While not a complete list, the most common savings are:  1) negotiating hard and tough to get a lower purchase price for you,  2) negotiating for repairs on the house,  3)  negotiating a home warranty on the house, and  4) other elements associated with the transaction.

 3.  Do you, or the Company you are with, take listings?  

No, never!   We are a licensed Oklahoma Real Estate Broker and thus, could take listings if we chose, but, it is our choice to not do so.   Buyer Agents Realty NEVER takes listings and NEVER represents sellers.  Thus, we NEVER have a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.  We CHOOSE, instead, to provide 100% Home Buyer Representation - 100% of the time!

We deliberately forsook what is considered by most Realtors to be the most lucrative side of the real estate industry, in order to specialize and provide total focus on providing 100% Buyer Representation.

You should understand that Realtors® that take listings, because of their legal commitment to their sellers, by definition, are going to promote their own listings first and NEXT the listings of their company BEFORE showing other properties.   And, co-incidentally, this makes them more money.

4.  If you don't take listings (sell homes), how can you help me? 

We are REALTORS® and are members of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Association of Realtors®.  Thus, through our membership in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), we have access to ALL listed homes, that is, ALL of the homes which all the other Realtors® have listed, whether existing or new construction.  We can even work on your behalf on a For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO).

Since we don't list homes for sale, you won't feel any pressure to "purchase a home from OUR inventory".  We don't have any homes to "Sell" you, therefore we have no bias whatever!  Instead, we concentrate our energies on helping you find the RIGHT home, the one you're looking for, the one that is best for you.

We will show you the ENTIRE market of homes that are available, which meet your criteria.

5.  Would you help us buy a property that is For Sale By Owner (FSBO)

Yes!   We do this all the time.   FSBO's like to work with us because we are not seeking a listing contract with them.

6.  Can’t I hire someone from a traditional real estate firm to represent me? 

You can.  However, if you decided that you want to purchase a home that is listed by that same company, a MAJOR problem emerges. 

NOTE:  For this answer to be fully meaningful to you, you need to review the web page on our site, that explains the new Oklahoma Real Estate Law.

Under the NEW Oklahoma Real Estate Law, a Realtor®  cannot work on behalf of, and for the benefit of the Buyer, if any Realtor® in that company is already working on behalf of and for the benefit of the Seller, for whom they listed the property.  The new law doesn't permit the conflict of interest.   (It used to be called Dual Agency).

So, as a Buyer, why would you even take the chance of getting yourself into a situation where you don’t have anyone who can represent your best interest?  The most important question you can ask about the home is,  "I know what the (asking) price of the home is, BUT what is the TRUE VALUE of the home" ???

A Realtor® who is working on behalf of and for the benefit of the Seller (as a Single Party Broker) cannot legally advise you, the Buyer, about the True Value of the home or negotiate the price on your behalf !!!  

Also, a Realtor® who is working with YOU (as a Transaction Broker) CANNOT legally advise you about the True Value of the home or negotiate the price on your behalf !!!

EXAMPLE:  John is operating with you as a Transaction Broker, either disclosed or undisclosed.   Now, understand that John is not  required to disclose that he is operating as a Transaction Broker until you are at the point of entering into a contract to purchase a property..

Assume that you fall in love with a home and you want to make an offer on it.  You ask John to give you his best judgment of the actual market value of the home, his advice on how much to offer, and his counsel on the negotiating strategy.  Can he do so?  NO, he cannot!  Remember, the law, in essence, says that he must remain neutral.  So, how can he give you, the Buyer, an unfair advantage over the Seller?  So, think!    Where does this leave you?  Note that we, as Exclusive Buyer Brokers, operating on YOUR behalf, provide the vital information you requested routinely and can do so within the law.

Isn't this critically important to you?

You do have a choice!  Buyer Agents Realty specializes in working for Buyers only, never for Sellers.

7.  Do you use a written buyer brokerage agreement?  

(Ask for a copy)  By current Oklahoma State Law, we (you and I) HAVE to enter into a written Single Party Brokerage Contract, if we are going to represent your interests.   (We always did use a written buyer brokerage agreement, before the law was passed.)   This protects YOU!  Please call and we will mail or e-mail one to you for your review.  This agreement, legally and exclusively, binds us to represent your interests alone, and never the Seller.   It also forms the legal relationship, required by State of Oklahoma law.

8.  Don’t you think I can look out for my own interest?

You may, very well, be able to do so.   However, if you don’t possess the necessary skills, knowledge of current Real Estate Laws (the “rules of the game”), knowledge of current market values, and knowledge about Real Estate Contracts, you may find yourself at a disadvantage attempting to negotiate on your own, with a trained, skilled and seasoned Realtor®, who is working against you, on behalf of the Seller.

One of the most important issues is, how would you know if the house was overpriced and where would you get that information?  Exclusive Buyer Brokers will always work on your behalf in negotiating for you and have access to the data to show you if the property is overpriced and what the True Value really is. 

If you were sued, would you use your opponents Lawyer to also represent you? Then, why would you use the Seller’s Real Estate Broker?  You do have a choice!

Would you enter into a "high stakes" card game without knowing the "rules of the game"?  Then, why would you enter into a Real Estate transaction (also high stakes) on your own without knowing the "rules of the game"?  You do have a choice!

Remember what it was like when you were "looking out for your own interest" when purchasing an automobile in the past?  Don't you wish you could have had someone who was working on YOUR side of the deal?, who could tell you the true value?, who could negotiate in your best interest?, and who knew the "rules of the game"???

You do have a choice!  Buyer Agents Realty works for the benefit of and on the behalf of YOU, the Buyer!

9.   Again, why should I hire you, rather than another broker?

Because we are Exclusive Buyer Brokers, we GUARANTEE in writing that we will only represent YOU!

Simply stated, WE ARE SPECIALISTS - professionals that are highly trained in representing buyers. We're very good at it! And, we TOTALLY believe in what we do.  There IS a difference!

If you had a critical heart problem, would you seek out the services of a heart specialist for diagnosis and treatment or just work with a general practitioner?

Or, for your home purchase, would you want someone who typically represents sellers, "assisting" you as a Buyer?

Think about it!
