Why you should use an Accredited
Buyer's Representative (ABR)
Depending on the laws in your state
and the business arrangement you have with a licensed real estate
agent, that agent may actually be negotiating for the seller, not
you the buyer. The best way to be certain that an agent is working
in your best interests is by signing a buyer representation
agreement with an agent.
A buyer's representative
represents the consumer who is purchasing property, not the seller.
Although state law varies, a buyer's representative usually works
for and owes fiduciary responsibilities to the real estate buyer. It
is the buyer representative that has buyer's best interests in mind
throughout the entire real estate transaction.
Why should you look for the ABR
designation before looking for a home? These three letters after a
REALTOR's name tell you that you will be working with buyer
representative who is committed to your best interests. The ABR
designation is awarded by REBAC to those REALTORS who have met the
specific educational and experiential criteria needed to provide the
high level quality service required by REBAC (Real Estate BUYER'S
AGENT Council).
Why
Choose a REALTORŪ With a GRI designation?
Buying property is a complex and stressful
task. In fact, it's often the biggest single investment you will
make in your lifetime. At the same time, real estate
transactions have become increasingly complicated.
New technology, laws, procedures and the
increasing sophistication of buyers and sellers require real
estate practitioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of
professionalism.
So it's more important than ever that you work
with an agent who has a keen understanding of the real estate
business. The GRI program has helped the best and the brightest
in the industry achieve that level of understanding.
GRIs are:
Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry
Professionally trained
Knowledgeable
Dedicated to bringing you quality
service
A GRI can make a difference
When you see the letters "GRI" after an
agent's name, you can count on receiving the knowledge and
guidance you need to make your transaction go smoothly. In
short, you can count on getting the best service available from
a real estate professional.
Don't you deserve the best?
