Why does a seller only have one Agent? Why would a buyer have more than one?

When you drive around looking for a home to buy you will see several different "for sale" signs. You might see Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Windermere, Skyline and ReMax signs. Do you ever see a Windermere and a Skyline sign together on the same front lawn?  No, you don't because the seller only has one real estate agent. Why does the seller only have one real estate agent you ask, wouldn't it be better to have two or three?  The seller only has one real estate agent because they want the best possible service.  You do not get better service by having two or three agents.  One is not "the loneliest number" in the real estate business.  Do you think an agent would market a property to sell with as much time and commitment if they knew someone else was doing the same thing? Why would a real estate agent list a property not knowing if they were going to get paid?  Why would an agent commit to spending money to market a property when they may not receive a commission on it?  That is why you will only see one sign on a property for sale - commitment. 

Shouldn't you as a buyer want the same kind of commitment from your agent?  You want your agent to have the commitment to provide you their best service right?  How can you expect this if you have not committed to your agent?  Once you have made a commitment to your own agent you will find that you are receiving the best possible service when purchasing your home. 

Your agent knows this is now a relationship of respect and commitment.  Your agent knows that the valuable time they will spend discovering your needs, knowing the market area, understanding your finance options and listening to your dreams will be compensated at the close of the transaction as it should be. 

Ask yourself, "Would I want to work for free?", then answer honestly, "No, I sure wouldn't."  If you choose a buyer's agent you will get the best possible service.  You will not be "hounded" by 10 different agents whose commitment level might be low because they feel no commitment.  You have to remember that all agents have the same information sources for available properties in your area.  You want an agent that does more than just find homes; you want an agent to be your real estate consultant for more than just times of purchasing or selling, you want your agent to be apart of your total financial planning team. Choose one real estate agent and include them in your life's plan - today and in the future.
