RE/MAX Realtors^® prefer to work as a Buyer-Broker with you rather than as a Sub-Broker of the Realtor^® who is working for the Seller. We work for your best interest, not the Seller's. Most corporations request we represent their employees as Buyer-Brokers. They know sometime in the future they may be buying your home when you transfer again. Buyer-Brokers keep their relocation costs down because their employees have made smarter purchases. Many RE/MAX Results Realtors^® have their ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) Designation.

Things a REALTOR can do as a Buyer-Broker that they cannot do as a sub-Broker:

1. Prepare and interpret the market analysis performed on the property you are buying. (Determines if the price and terms of the listed property are correct)

2. Analyze and compare the "Pluses and Minuses" of different properties you are considering.

3. Discuss the salability of different neighborhoods. (What neighborhoods hold their property values better.)

4. Tell you any information discerned about the motivation of the Seller.

All new home developments use Realtors^® to market their properties. These Realtors^® encourage other Realtors^® to bring their Buyers to the developments and will pay normal co-op and buyer-brokerage fees. You, the Buyer, will pay no more for using an REALTOR who represents you than using an area representative or REALTOR who represents the Seller.

When looking at homes, we always want to be with you. We recognize there are times when you just want to drive around and get a "feel" of the neighborhood. We recognize this. Should you go into an open-house or model home without your Realtor^®, you may jeopardize your representation and obligate yourself to additional out-of-pocket fees. So, should a model home or open-house look so good that you go in, please tell the Seller's Realtors^® that you are working with us. Most, but not all, Realtors^® will honor your right to representation. Sign in and make sure you put your Realtors^® name down with yours. If the Seller's Realtors^® does not allow you to have your own representation, walk away and come back with your representative at a later time.
