Orange County NY Homes: Home Buying

Under this system the selling Real Estate Broker represents and works for the Buyer in the purchasing of a home - as the Agent for the Buyer - and has a duty to represent the Buyer's best interests, including:

•	Negotiating the right price for the Buyer, and
•	Structuring the transaction to the Buyer's advantage

Here are three of the most important ways Buyer Agency works for you.

•	Meaningful Savings are Possible We will help you negotiate to obtain the right price, terms and conditions.
•	You are Represented Our Buyer Agent will do a comprehensive market analysis on the property you select. This will help you establish fair market value before an offer to purchase is made.
•	You are Exposed to a Larger Market In addition to MLS listed properties, our Buyer Agency System allows us to show you a wider variety of available homes, including unlisted properties -- for sale by owners, foreclosure sales and homes not yet on the market. In other words, you will have access to the TOTAL market.
