Buying a home? Buyer's Edge Company, Inc. | BuyersAgent.com is the first Exclusive Buyer Broker Real Estate Company providing full representation to homebuyers in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC since 1991.

We have been challenging the real estate industry status quo for over thirty years. As exclusive buyer's agents, we believe in doing real estate differently. We believe that consumers have a right to absolute protection and loyalty throughout the entire home buying process. A buyer shouldn't have to buy a home from a real estate company representing both sides of the real estate transaction.

This enormous conflict of interest was one of the main motivating factors when Stephen Carpenter-Israel and his wife, Wendy, founded their unique real estate company in 1991. At Buyer's Edge, we knew there had to be a better way to help consumers buy a home or condominium. All homebuyers deserve to be treated fairly and honestly. We dreamed that if we did it the right way, we could protect our client's best interests and help them purchase a home at the best possible price, terms, and conditions.

Challenging the status quo with this clear-cut, single-focus agency relationship has convinced many educated homebuyers that working with an exclusive buyer's agent when buying a home is the only way to go. Consumers now have a choice when purchasing a home in DC, MD, and VA. At the Buyer's Edge, we're all exclusive buyer's agents who believe in the mission of our buyer brokerage real estate company. We like to think of ourselves as home buying consultants. Our exclusive buyer's agents are not salespeople. We never list properties, so our buyer's agents have nothing to sell and no sellers who we are accountable to.  Over the years, we have changed how people buy homes in this area. Consumers now have a clear choice, employing a Realtor who works for them, without any conflicts.

“As full-time Realtors, we have chosen to work with buyers 100% of the time because we strongly believe that it’s the right way, and the least conflicted way, to help our clients buy their homes. For over 34+ years, we have looked at the home buying process differently than most traditional real estate agents. It doesn’t matter if our clients are first-time homebuyers or high-end luxury condominium buyers; we only work for buyers 100% of the time.”
— Stephen Carpenter-Israel, President/Broker, Buyer’s Edge

We work throughout the Greater Metropolitan Washington, DC area and the Baltimore, MD region.  We protect and represent our clients looking for Washington DC homes, townhouses, and condos.  Whether you are looking in Georgetown, Capital Hill, DC, McLean, VA, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, MD, Bethesda, MD, or properties in any of the surrounding counties such as:

  • Montgomery, Frederick, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's counties in Maryland, or

  • Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties in Northern Virginia -- we can help you buy the home of your dreams.

📢 New Home Buyers in the DMV: Beware of Builder Contracts That Put You at Risk! 🚨 Buying a new construction home should be exciting—fresh start, brand-new space, no previous owners. But here’s the reality: when builders “rule the roost,” buyers lose control over critical parts of the process. Take this case: A Stanley Martin townhouse in Clarksburg, MD, an active adult community. Sounds great, right? But the builder’s contract prohibited the buyer and their agent from being present during the home inspection. ❌ Buyer paying for the home? Not allowed to see defects firsthand. ❌ Agent protecting the buyer? Barred from attending. 🚩 This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a red flag. When the market is hot, builders make the rules—and those rules often benefit them, not you. 💰 Low commissions for buyer’s agents 💰 Refusal to contribute to closing costs 💰 Restrictive contract terms ⚠️ Before signing, read every clause carefully. ⚠️ Know what you’re agreeing to—before it’s too late. At Buyer’s Edge, we fight for buyers in a system built to favor sellers. You deserve full transparency, fair representation, and the right to be present at every stage of your home purchase. 💬 Have you experienced tricky builder contracts?

Homebuyers, Are You Really Being Represented? Most homebuyers don’t realize that the agent they’re working with may not be fully on their side. Traditional real estate agents often represent both buyers and sellers, creating a conflict of interest that can leave you vulnerable in negotiations. That’s where an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent (EBA) comes in. Unlike traditional agents, EBAs work 100% for buyers—never sellers—ensuring you get the best price, terms, and protection. No dual agency, no hidden motives—just uncompromised loyalty and honest advocacy in a system that often puts profits over people. If you’re serious about protecting your financial future, make sure you have an agent who’s truly in your corner. #HomeBuyingTips #BuyersAgent #RealEstateAdvocate #ExclusiveBuyersAgent #FairHousing #HomeBuyers #HomeBuyingProcess #BuyersMarket #HomeBuyingHelp #RealEstateEthics #ProtectHomebuyers #HomeBuyerEducation #FirstTimeHomeBuyer
