EXCLUSIVE BUYER REPRESENTATION: Jim Parker is an Agent who represents the BUYER - not the SELLER - to get the best deal (i.e., contract price & terms) for the Buyer including sales comparables, location, condition, other features and resale potential of property.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Jim Parker will keep your personal information confidential and leverage off information about the Seller, property, or neighborhood to negotiate the best deal for the Buyer.
LOYALTY: Jim Parker will not jeopardize the clients best interest. It is important that the client is content & satisfied with their property.
DISCLOSURE: Jim Parker attempts to ensure his client is informed of material information (about the seller, sellers property, or sellers neighborhood that may affect the value of the home) so the client is able to make an informed purchase decision.
NEGOTIATE: Jim Parker performs a market analysis to make sure his clients never pay more than necessary for the home being purchased.
BUYERS without their own Agent dedicated to Buyers only (i.e., Exclusive" Buyer Agent) may not get all the information needed to make a good decision, or get the best deal! Real estate agents place their license with a Broker (i.e., ReMax, Keller Williams, etc,). The Broker decides to represent the best interests of only the Buyer (i.e., Exclusive Buyer Agent); only the Seller (Exclusive Seller Agent); or try to represent the best interests of both the Buyer and Seller at the same time. If you use an agent who represents Sellers, you may face a legal issue of either "dual" or "designated" agency where the agent is supposed to get the best deal possible for both the Buyer and Seller and yet both parties are equally represented by the same Broker.
