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 33+ 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.

Why Working with an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent Will Save You Time, Money, and Stress According to the National Association of Realtors, 88% of homebuyers used a real estate agent or broker last year. But what if I told you that not all agents work the same way? One type of agent exists to put your interests first all the time: the Exclusive Buyer’s Agent (EBA). What Is an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent (EBA) in the Washington, DC Metro Area? An Exclusive Buyer’s Agent is exactly what it sounds like—an agent who works only for buyers. They don’t list properties, and they never represent sellers. They aren’t juggling the interests of both sides. Their sole focus is finding you the right home at the best price. With no divided loyalties, they avoid the conflicts of interest that can arise when one agent or company represents both the buyer and the seller. #buyersagent #dcrealestate #exclusivebuyersagent #exclusivebuyersagent
