display the REALTOR “®” logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature.

REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.

The Only Whidbey Island Exclusive Buyer Brokerage

PARADIGM SHIFT “Nader again held up exclusive buyer brokerage as the only legitimate option for the home ralph nader - agency law quarterly buying public.”

“Unlike traditional agents who look out for the seller, an exclusive buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you to find the home you want, then negotiating the lowest possible price." money magazine

"The balance of power is changing as the number of brokers who serve only buyers grows. A conflict of interest is more likely when a real estate firm that represents sellers assigns you one of its agents as a buyers' agent. That's why many people believe an exclusive buyer business week broker is preferable."

"The only way to get an agent really on your side is to use an exclusive buyer's agent.

I wholeheartedly suggest you look for one when you get ready to buy." tips and traps when buying a home - by robert
