From a home
buyer's perspective, the main difference between a Silicon Valley Exclusive
Buyer Agent brokerage and an ordinary real estate office is the amount
of representation a buyer will get. This is especially important to
a first time home buyer who is completely naiive about the real estate
system. We Exclusive Buyer Agents will normally show more homes than our
competition. Additionally,
our service area extends to 6 different counties,
another major difference, especially if someone needs to find out about
homes in several cities. And when it comes to inspections, you will find
that we go the extra mile there, too. Virtually all homes have defects,
and we make sure detailed inspections are performed.

A true Exclusive
Buyer Agent (EBA) is very strictly consumer oriented. Our national membership
organization, NAEBA, does not allow us to represent sellers or to market
their properties. There can never be a question about our commitment
and loyalty to our buyer clients. This is a question that we EBA's often
ask ourselves: "What can I do to best serve the interests of my client
above and beyond my personal interests?" Our agreement with each
home buyer promises to help them purchase a property at the lowest price
and best terms. On the other hand, an ordinary agent's agreement with
sellers promises to sell for the highest price, and the best terms. Most
buyers don't think about this until it is pointed out to them. A national
survey a few years back showed that a large majority of home buyers thought
the ordinary agent with whom they were working had been representing them.
.
Ordinary
agencies are mostly seller oriented. Until the late 1980's the common theme
was caveat emptor, or let the buyer beware. Everything about
the business from paperwork to agent training was geared toward how to
best serve sellers and how to sell or convince buyers to buy a particular
home, even if they didn't want it. This theme continues with many brokerages
today, even though agency laws have changed over the years.
