Buying real estate in Sequim or Port Angeles?  Did you know that you could save a lot of money if you are represented by an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent?  The difference between an ordinary agent and an agent 100% committed to assisting buyers could make all the difference for you.

The Difference:

A Seller’s Agent An Exclusive Buyer’s Agent
Can show you all the homes in the MLS (Olympic
Multiple Listing Service).		 Will show you all the homes in the MLS, For Sale By Owner properties, pre-foreclosures, and foreclosures.
Can tell you the price the seller’s are asking for homes but cannot suggest an offering price. Will calculate the fair market value of the home for you, and assist you in developing an offering price by using
comparable sales data.
Can provide “raw” information on comparable homes that have sold in the area. Not allowed to interpret that data for you. Will provide and interpret information on comparable homes that have sold in the area and help you formulate an offering price and negotiating strategy.
Can convey your offer to the seller or their agent and convey their response back to you. Will negotiate on your behalf through the entire home buying process offering advice and information every step of
the way!
Can provide you with a “list” of title companies, home inspectors, and other professionals for you to choose from but cannot recommend any particular company or professional. Will recommend title companies, inspectors, and other professional services you will need!
May tell you some general information about the seller. Can tell you everything they can find out about the seller and their motivation for selling!
Must tell the seller everything they know about you, your financial status, and your motivation for buying. Will keep any information about you confidential if it would weaken your negotiating position!
“Thinks” in Seller’s terms (i.e.: Get the highest price possible for the home) “Thinks” in Buyer’s terms (i.e.: Get the lowest possible price and best terms for the Buyer, not the Seller).
