exclusive buyer agent: What Utah Buyers Should Consider When Viewing Homes that are "Staged" - 09/30/19 03:38 PM
When you see a staged home, what you see is a performance - a home that has been made to look better than it actually might be. Staged homes are nice to look at, but homebuyers need to be careful to not get caught up in the presentation and lose sight of what is "real" in the home.  Not all staging is done to "cover" something, but staging may strategically distract a buyer from seeing something undesirable.

exclusive buyer agent: Military Family Relocating to Utah Benefits by Hiring an Exclusive Buyer's Agent - 09/20/08 06:01 PM
Our family was relocating to Utah after 5 years in Japan. Although we had done lots of internet searching for houses we really had no idea as to neighborhoods, schools, shopping, etc. The "house hunting" experience was old even before we left Japan.
 
In doing our initial research into rates, lenders and trying to learn about neighborhoods we came across advertisements for an EBA (Exclusive Buyer's Agent). Although we have owned several properties both as primary and rentals, we had not heard of a Buyers Agent. I have always disliked the idea that the selling agent was also my buying … (0 comments)

exclusive buyer agent: Why you should always have an agent representing you in a real estate transaction - 1 example - 12/19/07 05:05 PM
Suppose you find a home of interest and the Listing Agent tells you they will reduce the price of the home by 3% if you choose not to use the Buyer's Agent you have spoken to, but have not yet signed a written agreement with.
