However, all buyer's agents are not the same. Only a buyer's agent who works for a brokerage/agency that does not take listings (does not work for sellers) can be an EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT. Only an EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT works 100% for the buyer. Only an EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT never works for a seller and never has a conflict of interest. An EXCLUSIVE BUYER'S AGENT is committed to getting the buyer the home he/she wants for the best possible price and/or terms.

Before selecting a real estate agent, ask all the agents you interview these questions:

Will you show me all the homes on the market that meet my needs, including For Sale By Owner properties or just the homes that are in MLS?

Will you guarantee than any information I give you will be kept confidential?

Will you guarantee my your undivided loyalty?

Will you guarantee me you will not try to change your relationship with me to "dual agency", "designated agent", transactional agent," or any other form of agency that offers reduced levels of service?

Will you guarantee that you will not be representing any seller at any time while you are working with me?

Will you point out all the negative aspects of each property as well as all the positive aspects so I will be fully informed when making my decision?

Will there be a written Exclusive Buyer Broker Agreement?

Will you tell me everything you can find out about the seller and their reasons for selling?

Will you provide information on comparable sales and help me formulate an offering price and negotiating strategy?

Do you have a list of lenders, home inspectors, insurance agents and other professionals that you recommend?

Do you, or the company you are with, ever list properties for sale? (If they say "yes", they are not an Exclusive Buyer's Agent.)

Do you spend 100% of your time assisting buyers?

Can you guarantee me 100% loyalty 100% of the time?

Will you put all that in writing?

	Home buyers have lots of questions, and REBAC wants to answer as many as possible. What happens when in the home buying process? How much will my payments be? Is there an easy resource that can answer all my questions? What does that term mean? Who else might have information that I might need?
