the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you
find the home you want and then negotiating the lowest possible price. The best buyer brokers are so-called exclusive agents
- that is, they represent only buyers, never sellers..."
Money Magazine
"Groups such as the Consumer Federation
of America and the American Association of Retired Persons recommend using buyer's agents...The reason is that they work."
SmartMoney
"Only by using a buyer agent can a buyer be
sure all information is kept confidential. Only an exclusive buyer agent can give the buyer an objective, experienced opinion
of the homes viewed to ensure the buyer gets the right home, in the right location, at the right price."

"To buyers: If you want representation, work
with a buyer broker. They are legally obligated to represent your interests in any negotiations with sellers."
Consumer
Federation of America
"Exclusive Buyer's Agents only work for consumers
and often can save them money - and they don't cost more to hire...Buyer's agents are not tied to any particular property
or agency, so they will show buyers any home, even those for sale by owner."
Los Angeles Times
"Hire a buyer's broker. When in the market
for a home, the best defense is a strong offense."

Your goal should be to engage an agent who
will represent your interests. Not just a buyer broker, but an exclusive buyer broker. Make sure that is what you are getting."

"To protect themselves, buyers can retain
their own exclusive representative called a "buyer's broker". Your local agent may offer such services, but be aware that
buyer's brokers who also work as sellers' brokers can sometimes end up on both sides of the deal."
