Why you should have an ABR (Accredited Buyers Agent)

As an ABR (Accredited Buyers Agent) I specialize in representing home buyers and making sure my clients get the most house for their money with the best terms and conditions in their favor as a home buyer.  As your ABR agent I will represent you and you only!

I don't look at it as my job to "Sell You a House" You know what you need in a house and what's most important to accommodate your life style and daily routines.  As your ABR it's my job to provide you with the information, resources, and experience necessary to make a highly informed buying decision, help keep you in the best position as a home buyer, and represent you and your best interest.

There's nothing I hate more than pushy sales people, and more than anything I try NOT to be one of those people.  Nobody likes feeling that they're being pushed or pressured  in to doing something...especially during one of the biggest decisions of your life.  My style is very laid back and the one thing you won't get from me is any kind of sales pressure.  When you are ready to start your home search I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, help guide you along the way and represent you in the purchase of your home. 

The Benefits of Having an :

	The Listing Agent has a legal obligation to their client (The Seller) to get them the best terms, condition & highest price in the sale of their home.  As an ABR (Accredited Buyers Agent) I represent home buyers in the transaction and their best interest to get my clients the most house for their money with the best terms and conditions.
	As your ABR  it's my obligation to disclose all and any information I know about the sellers and their situation to put you as the buyer in the best possible better position during negotiations and through out the transaction.
	As your ABR it is my obligation to obtain & disclose all and any material facts that may affect the market value of the property.
	As your ABR your reason & motivation for buying a home is not discussed with the home sellers, the sellers agent or any other agent.  That is between my client and I.
	Your financial status and how much you're pre-approved for are completely & 100% confidential with me.
	How much you're willing to pay for a house is certainly not discussed with the sellers or their agent and is 100% confidential.
	Bottom line is I don't discuss any information that a home seller or listing agent could use to put them in a better situation during negotiations.  I don't even discuss these issues with other agents in my office or even my broker (my boss).  This is information nobody needs to know except you, your loan officer and your agent.
