Advantages of Sage Realty, Exclusive Buyers Agency What We Are EXCLUSIVELY FOR BUYERS Sage operates beyond the typical buyer agency rules of: confidentiality and full disclosure   Sage only represents buyers and has developed practices, procedures, forms and attitudes tailored just for buyers We will show you all available homes, point out their features (good and bad), provide financing advice and submit the offer in the best light for you.  A listing agent cannot even tell you whether the seller would accept a lower price – you have a right to know that! What We Aren’t NO DUAL AGENCY Many companies whose agents are permitted to practice what is called “dual agency” tell you there is no problem with their agents being on both sides of the transaction. Except that the duties of full disclosure and confidentiality are in direct conflict. Which one do they choose? Do they tell the seller that you need to move by year-end? Won’t that affect the price? TRUE CONFLICT – FREE REPRESENTATION If you sign up with a large company, the house you go to see may be listed with one of their agents. A friend of your agent, perhaps. Or maybe the listing agent also may want to represent you. This is very likely not a benefit for you. A recent survey found that most home buyers felt this was a potential conflict of interest and might hurt them. We know that can happen – we have seen it. Don’t let that happen to you. Call Sage for conflict-free help. What We Do For You With Sage, you get top quality service from a skilled Realtor® who is a licensed broker, trained real estate attorney and specialist in representing buyers.

EXCEPTIONAL CARE Think of the buyer’s agent as the only real estate professional who is required to treat your deal as if it were his or her own purchase. And it usually costs you no more than if you used the listing agent – they just share the same commission amount from the seller.
