Buyer RepresentationWHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU, THE BUYER?Most real estate companies work with both buyers and sellers and the Florida real estate licensing law presumes that we work as Transaction Brokers. This is a very efficient way to get the job done, where an agent works with one (or even both) parties to facilitate the transaction and ensure the deal gets done as smoothly as possible. As a Transaction Broker, licensees have a duty to treat all parties honestly and fairly and not represent one party to the detriment of the other, but neither party working with a Transaction Broker has the right to the undivided loyalty or full confidentiality of the agent. Although at Dolby Properties we do work with sellers, we have a long tradition of working mainly with buyers, almost exclusively international and out of State buyers. In fact, most of our agents have the designation of ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative). This means that you will be working with an agent who is working towards or has successfully completed the specified educational and practical experience criteria of REBAC (Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council).
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF WORKING WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER BROKER AGREEMENT? We will be happy to work with you as a buyer with or without an agreement, but you will need to understand that legally we can only fully represent your interests and negotiate on your behalf, giving you full confidentiality and undivided loyalty, if you are working with us as your Buyer Representative with an agreement.
In addition, when you work with us under an Exclusive Buyer Broker Agreement, we will be happy to help you not only with properties listed in the MLS, but also with unlisted properties, FSBOs (For Sale by Owner) and bank owned properties, which gives you a broader range of available properties to choose from. JUST A SIDE NOTE........ We always see a lot of potential buyers who have been driving around and looking at For Sale signs, or else have seen a listing on the internet and contact the listing agent for information on that individual property. Please be advised that: 1) Since all Realtors have access to all properties listed for sale via the MLS, there is no need to contact each individual listing agent about a property. 2) A listing agent cannot represent your best interests over those of the seller. So, it is in your best interests to hire a Buyer's Broker, who can not only help you with any available property, but who is the only one who can protect your interests and only YOUR interests. In the vast majority of cases, this comes at no charge to you, the Buyer, so why not take advantage of this and have your own agent look out for YOU!
