How We are
Paid /FAQ's
The traditional system works for the seller, not you. I
don't make this up. Wisconsin state statutes say that if you don't
have a contract with an agent, the agent works for the seller.
So, on one side of the transaction are the seller, listing agent
and selling agent - all working for the seller. On your side is
you. It's time to level the playing field. Use Homebuyer Associates
exclusive buyer agent services to work for you.
We can
save you money. The recent average list price to sale price
for the four county area was 96.5%. That means if the sellers
listed their home for sale for $150,000, their home sold for $144,750.
Homebuyer Associates' average purchase price for the 4-county
area is 93.5%. That means if the sellers listed their home for
sale for $150,000, our clients bought their home for $140,250
- a savings of $4,500 to our clients.
We are
Exclusive Buyer Agents. All companies can now offer buyer
agency but only Homebuyer Associates can offer you Exclusive Buyer
Agency. A simple buyer agent typically works in a company that
sells homes 90% of the time and works for buyers 10% of the time
- in effect - working at cross purposes to the company's main
goal, selling homes for the highest price possible. Hmmmmm? We
are exclusive buyer agents. That means we work only for you.
We have
a process to search for homes for you daily. We will search
the MLS and For Sale by Owner market for homes which meet your
wants and needs. Our search is conducted daily and the results
are provided to you by e-mail, fax or mail - your choice. We call
it, "the boring, methodical way to buy a home."
We may
recommend not to buy certain homes. Years ago we suggested
a client not buy a home we had looked at because our research
said a two lane road in front of the home may be widened to 4
lanes in the future. Our client continued looking and eventually
purchased another home. That client called us 3 years after the
fact and said, "Thanks for recommending we not buy that home
we looked at early on. We drove past it the other day and there's
now a 4-lane road in front of it."
