Buying a home may be the largest and most complex financial transaction you ever undertake. If you’re ready to buy a home, wouldn’t you prefer to work with the most qualified real estate professional you can find?
An Accredited Buyer’s Representative stands out in the crowd. As your REALTOR® I hold the ABR® designation, you can trust that I have the extra edge when it comes to KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.
Why Work with an Accredited Buyer’s Representative?
The ABR® designation is only awarded to licensed real estate professionals who complete specialized training that gives them the edge in understanding a buyer’s perspective and protecting and promoting their buyer-clients’ interests. Before earning the ABR® designation, buyer’s reps must also demonstrate proven experience in representing buyers. Further, they are committed to maintaining their professional edge by staying current on the latest issues and trends in buyer representation.
When you work with me as an ABR®, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become my interests. I will make your home buying experience go as smoothly and successfully as possible.
You can expect me as your ABR® to:
- Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties.
- Assist you in determining how much you can afford (pre-qualify your mortgage).
- Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties.
- Advise you in formulating your offer.
- Help you develop your negotiating strategy.
- Provide names of qualified vendors (inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other services you may need.
- Keep track of every detail throughout the transaction.
Not all buyers’ representatives are equal. Only a buyer’s rep who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative designation has made the extra effort to raise the bar, with additional training and experience. If you work with an ABR®, you can feel confident that you’ll receive the highest level of buyer-representation services.
The ABR® designation is awarded by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).
