How do I Find an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent?

The real estate industry has been feeling pressure in the past few years as technology has changed how homebuyers search for homes. At Buyer Edge, we are fortunate that we have been representing homebuyers in the Washington, DC metro area for over twenty-eight years. In fact, we never represent home sellers. Ever.

Our exclusive buyer agents have represented homebuyers in close to two billion dollars of home, condo, and townhome purchases in the DMV. That is a significant amount of home purchasing experience. Unlike traditional real estate companies, our buyer agents are not the low man on the organizational chart. They are not the Realtors with the least amount of experience on the team. On the contrary, our true buyer agents have years of experience fighting hard for the best interests of our home buying clients. We have a true fiduciary relationship of trust, transparency, and loyalty with our buyers since our real estate company never has a house to sell or sellers to represent.

By representing homebuyers 100% of the time, we have eliminated the inherent risks and potential conflicts of interest that can arise when working with a buyer’s agent in a traditional firm that works on both sides of the aisle. As homebuyers are becoming more savvy and educated in the buying process, they are demanding more from their Realtors. We must be at the top of our game and provide superior services. Most buyers will no longer put up with the “who does my agent represent today” shenanigans of yesteryear. They are no longer fooled into thinking that the agent on the open house can represent their best interests if they decide to buy that property.

Valerie Winebrenner, an Exclusive Buyer’s Associate Broker with Buyer’s Edge, is just the kind of Realtor that homebuyers are looking to hire today. Recently Valerie has received a couple of outstanding recommendations from her homebuyer clients. In their glowing endorsement, they both detailed the extraordinary benefits of hiring exclusive buyers agents when buying a home.

"We hired Valerie Winebrenner as our Real Estate agent to assist us in finding and buying a house in suburban Maryland. This was a very challenging undertaking given our many criteria (price, schools, commutes, etc.). The process took several months. Valerie's patience, professionalism, and knowledge of the real estate market in this area helped to make our house search ultimately successfully. We would recommend her without reservation and would use her again if we once again needed to relocate."

"My wife and I hired Valerie to help us with the daunting task of finding and purchasing a house. We didn't have a good idea about the type or location of our ideal home, yet Valerie was very accommodating about showing us houses all over Montgomery and Howard County. She gave very honest assessments of each house's strengths and weaknesses and helped us evaluate the best choice for our growing family. Valerie is an excellent negotiator and helped us buy our new home for $30K less than the original asking price. In her role as an exclusive buyer's agent, Valerie represented our interests and made sure we were happy with the outcome of every part of the transaction. We give Valerie our strongest recommendation. Working with her was a true pleasure.”

”Buyer’s Edge helped us every step of the way in buying our first house. Our agent, Valerie, took the time to understand our needs and walk us through the process. She was very available to us and made buying a house much less overwhelming. Valerie was professional, very knowledgeable of her field, and was able to help us get the house for $14,000 less than the listed price. We’ve even kept in touch after moving in. We would definitely recommend Buyer’s Edge to anyone looking to buy a house in the area.”
