“What is an Exclusive Buyers Agent”?
Why You Should Care If You’re Thinking About Buying a Home or Condominium this Year in DC, MD, and VA?
Buyer’s Edge | BuyersAgent.com is Metropolitan Washington, DC's pioneer Exclusive Buyer Broker Real Estate Company, providing full representation to homebuyers in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and the District of Columbia since 1991. Our consumer-oriented real estate company is one of the reasons homebuyers looking to buy houses or real estate for sale in the DMV can now choose a real estate broker who works exclusively for homebuyers. Buying a home means more than searching home listings on Zillow, Redfin, MLS search, or an Open House. It starts with interviewing and hiring the right kind of real estate agent - an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent. In the DMV, homebuyers have several EBA options.
Broker and Buyer's Edge President Stephen Carpenter-Israel is a Washington, DC native with a solid background in business, real estate, and construction. For over 33 years, Steve has forged a top-producing real estate team pledged to deliver full representation to homebuyers throughout the entire real estate home buying transaction. The Buyer’s Edge | BuyersAgent.com team's expertise, hard work, and consumer commitment translate into concrete gains at the negotiating table and with extraordinary care in finding and identifying the very best homes and explaining why we believe those homes are the right match and best value for our clients.
All the Buyer’s Agents at Buyer's Edge are members of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA.org). We have chosen never to represent sellers. We do not sell houses. We do not list homes for sale. We never practice dual agency. Our Exclusive Buyer Agents (EBAs) will never ask homebuyers to sign a “consent form” asking them to switch to another “Designated Buyers Agent or Dual Agent” within the team or same real estate brokerage in the middle of a real estate transaction because the buyer is interested in making an offer on one of their company’s real estate listings.
Our clients receive the full measure of our attention, loyalty, and discretion. Our foundation is consumer-oriented; our goal is clear, single-focused, and unconflicted: to protect the buyer's interests and save the buyer money. Our cornerstones are experience, research, and tough negotiation.
Exclusive Buyer Agents Provide Homebuyers Exceptional Real Estate Services, Security and Peace of Mind
Like traditional real estate agents, we can show homebuyers everything that is made available on the market, including MLS listings, For-Sale-By-Owner, Foreclosures, Coming Soon, and New Homes.
However, since our real estate buyer broker company and our agents do not work for sellers, we are free to dig up the facts about properties, the neighborhood, including price history, inventory, days on market, and potential adverse environmental concerns, and share it with our homebuyers even when it doesn’t benefit the seller. We keep our homebuyers focused on their goals and lifestyle needs without pressuring them into buying a home that may become over-priced during a multiple bidding war.
At Buyer’s Edge, we believe that our most important job is to help our clients evaluate properties correctly. That means doing research to help our clients understand the comparable sales in the area, access to Metro, availability of shopping, bike paths, parks, and information on Schools. We are also dedicated to helping our clients see the positive and negative things about each property we show in person or virtually. We are consumer advocates who believe that the buyer needs to know about Radon, Lead Paint, Old Oil Tanks, Mold, Asbestos, and many other environmental concerns. We look at properties critically - pointing out issues about roofing systems, water flow around the property, how the lot sits in relation to others around it, traffic flow, and also all of the good stuff - Quality of construction, windows, doors, light, airflow, and livability.
In the Nation’s Capital’s competitive real estate market, we use our years of single-focused, homebuyer expertise to negotiate, bargain hard, and successfully secure the lowest price and best terms for our client--the homebuyer.
Buying a home includes finding the most professional and reliable mortgage broker or mortgage lender, title attorney, or settlement attorney. It also means finding the best home inspector to inspect the properties. We help with those critical financing decisions, inspections, and settlement details. We will help with every detail of your home purchase. Since our Buyer Broker Real Estate Company is not affiliated or “in-bed” with any of the real estate service companies that we recommend to clients, we are free to refer our homebuyers to the best and most reliable professionals out there. We never receive any referral fees when you are buying a home.
How Do Buyer Agents Get Paid? No Hidden Buyer Costs
Hiring a Buyer's Edge Agent doesn't cost you more. We're in business to protect your interests and save you money. Our clients decide how fees are to be structured. At Buyer's Edge, there are two different payment options, geared to the client's specific needs. Our fees are paid through a cooperative commission or can be included in the sales price, so our clients aren't ever required to pay out of pocket. We do not require up-front fees! We do not accept bonuses!
Every Buyer’s Edge Buyer-Broker Agreement has an "out-clause" built-in. Take a look at our simple, straightforward contract.
