Information for Buyers
Accredited Buyer's Rep vs Buyer's Rep
ABR® vs. Buyer's Rep: A REALTOR® Designation
A buyer's representative (or simply buyer's rep) is a licensed real estate professional who represents prospective homebuyers in their property transaction. If you've formalized an agency relationship, typically by signing a buyer's rep agreement with a buyer's rep, you can expect him or her to:
Understand your specific needs and wants, and locate appropriate properties.
Assist you in determining how much you can afford (pre-qualify your mortgage).
Preview and/or accompany you in viewing properties.
Research properties, to identify any problems or issues you should consider.
Advise you in formulating your offer.
Help you develop your negotiation strategy.
Provide a list of potential qualified vendors (such as inspectors, attorneys, lenders, etc.) for other related services that may be needed.
Keep track of all the details throughout the entire transaction--to closing and beyond.
In other words, a buyer's rep should make your homebuying experience go as smoothly and successfully as possible.
But not all buyer's reps are equal. A buyer's rep who has earned the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®) REALTOR® designation has made an extra effort to raise the bar, with additional training and experience in serving you, the homebuyer. If you work with an ABR®, you can feel more confident that you'll receive the highest level of buyer-representation services
