Exclusive Buyers Agents

 

Exclusive Buyer’s Agents do not accept listings, advertise properties for sale or represent sellers at any time.  They avoid the trappings of dual agency that arise when the same firm attempts to represent both buyers and sellers.   

​

Dual Agency and its Risks

 

Dual agency arises when the same broker represents the buyer and seller in the same transaction.  This might arise, for example, when an unrepresented buyer calls the listing agent directly to schedule a showing, or when an unrepresented buyer tours an open house and expresses interest in the home directly to the listing agent.  It can also arise when a broker serves large numbers of buyers and sellers, which is common among the large and mid-sized brokerages in the Twin Cities.  In this case, the unsuspecting buyer risks being steered toward the agent’s own listings. 

 

Dual agency spoils the agent's role as a fiduciary, and both the buyer and seller lose their advocate at the moment they’re needed most.  Meanwhile, the dual agent pockets both sides of the commission.

​

The Consumer Advocates in American Real Estate ("CAARE") identifies dual agency as one of the most dangerous risks consumers face in today's real estate market.

Why Choose Exclusive Buyer's Agent 

​

Exclusive Buyer's Agents completely avoid any risk of dual agency by exclusively focusing on needs of buyers.  Never will you feel steered to "in-house" or "pocket" listings.  Never will you feel like we're trying to sell you a home.

​

In addition, because EBAs do not take listings, we have more time to devote to buyers.  A buyer should not feel like they're "burdening" their agent with requests for showings.
