Should I be using a Buyer’s Agent?

A  buyer’s agent is a real estate agent who works exclusively for you to assist in researching and purchasing your property. It’s that exclusion that distinguishes a Buyer’s Agent from any agent who is the legal representative of the seller.

Myers Real Estate Group was born as a San Diego Buyer’s Brokerage, so we’ve designed our website specifically for real estate buyers. With access to every property listed for sale in San Diego and Riverside Counties, you can track the market, see what sells, and get valuable ‘inside’ information from our team of Accredited Buyer Representatives.

• Gain invaluable details about the properties you’re considering, Title Reports, Permit Information, and detailed information about the Sellers that the Seller’s Agent can’t ethically provide.
• An Exclusive Buyer’s Agent can negotiate on your behalf. The Seller’s agent cannot.
• Discretion, confidentiality, loyalty, and obedience.
• An Exclusive Buyer’s Agent represents YOU, not the Seller.
• We can help you find Lender Foreclosures, Bank REOs, and other properties that may not be listed for sale on the market.
• Our services can save you thousands of dollars.

“Look for an exclusive buyer agent, if possible, who will have your interests at heart and can help you with strategies during the bidding process.” – CNNMoney.com, “Money 101, Lesson 8, Buying a home”

“Many people don’t realize that, unless specifically stated otherwise, brokers are legal representatives of sellers. A buyer’s broker, representing only the buyer, may be able to secure a better price and better terms.” – Good Housekeeping

“Always remember that a real estate broker does not work for you, but for the seller. If you want an agent on your side, contract with a buyer’s agent.” – Reader’s Digest

“Buyer’s Agents work only for consumers and can save them money - and they don’t cost more to hire.” – Los Angeles Times

“If you ever doubted the value of real estate agents who work solely for home buyers (as opposed to traditional agents who report to sellers), consider this: A recent study by U.S. Sprint found that 232 relocating Sprint employees who hired buyer’s brokers paid an average of 91% of a home’s list price. People who use traditional agents typically pay about 96%.” – Money Magazine, “House Hunting? Save By Hiring Your Own Agent”, By Carla A. Fried
