Why
you should use an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR)?
Depending on the laws in your province and the business arrangement
you have with a licensed real estate agent, that agent may actually
be negotiating for the seller, not you the buyer. The best way
to be certain that an agent is working in your best interests
is by signing a buyer representation agreement with an agent.
A buyer's representative represents the consumer who is
purchasing property, not the seller. Although state law
varies, a buyer's representative usually works for and
owes fiduciary responsibilities to the real estate buyer.
It is the buyer representative that has the buyer's best
interests in mind throughout the entire real estate transaction.
Why should you look for the ABR designation before looking
for a home?
These three letters after a REALTOR's name tell you that
you will be working with a buyer representative who is
committed to your best interests. The ABR designation is
awarded by REBAC to those REALTORS who have met the specific
educational and experiential criteria needed to provide
the high level quality service required by REBAC (Real
Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council).
