best price: 5 Reasons to use an Exclusive Buyer's Agent (EBA) when Buying a Home

1. You Become A Client (Not A Customer) According to the National Association of Realtors, If you work with the seller's agent, you are not a client, you are a customer.

best price: Why is Signing a Buyer-Agency Agreement That Important?
- 05/07/07 05:02 PM
Our Buyer-Agency Agreement requires us to be legally responsible and accountable to you.

This can hurt your bargaining power and cost you money. We work in your best interest. We are obligated to get YOU the best price and the most savings possible. In Utah, if the listing agent tells you she will work with you as your "buyer's agent", you will be asked to sign an agreement limiting your representation.
