How a "single-agency" real estate broker can be worth thousands of dollars to you at escrow closing.
In the State of California, a real estate agent can either represent the seller exclusively, the buyer exclusively or BOTH at the same time (known as "dual agency").
While dual-agency is legal and almost every broker I've ever met practices it, is a dual-agent who represents you and the seller at the same time really in your best interests?
I don't think so. It's very hard for a broker to walk the fine line between a person who wants the most for a property and the person who wants to pay the least for the property and then properly and fairly represent both their interests. It probably can be done, but it's hard.
That's why we decided many years ago to become a single agent broker. In each real estate transaction we ONLY represent ONE party: YOU exclusively.
Here's just one example of how we can make you more money. Suppose you see a "for sale" sign in front of a property you like. You're interested. So you call the phone number on the sign. That nice salesperson who answers the phone represents which party? The seller! It's their job to get the SELLER the best deal. What do you think the odds are of your getting the best buy from the seller's agent? Well, you know the answer.
That's why I propose that before you buy or sell real estate, that you contact us first. That way we can posture you so you can get the best the market will offer using proven money-saving strategies we've developed over our decades in real estate. Here's the best part: Our fees are usually paid by the sellers of real estate. That means our representation services are AT NO CHARGE TO YOU.
If you're going to have a broker represent you in buying or selling real estate, choose one that puts your interests FIRST. Fill out the form below and let's get started with a no-obligation interview at no charge. We look forward to hearing from you!
