Why use a Realtor® to help you buy a new home?  And what does ABR stand for?

Buying a home is a complex process involving the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake.  A Realtor® does not just find people houses or help them with their home search, in today's world most buyers find the properties that they want to purchase online (unless it is a pocket or upcoming listing). 

A Realtor'sⓇ main job is to be an advocate for buyers and help protect, as well as, guide them through the home buying process with the least amount of stress as possible.  It's important to note that there could be negative legal and financial implications involved in buying a home, so having a knowledgeable agent on your side is crucial.  It could save you thousands of dollars in the long run.

What is a buyer's rep/buyer's agent?

A buyer's rep represents you and your interests, not the seller's, in a real estate transaction.  A buyer's agent who has earned the Accredited Buyer's Representation (ABR) designation has gone the extra mile and completed specialized training in delivering the best buyer representation services to their clients.  An agent who is an ABR is a trusted advocate whose training and experience helps them excel in helping clients search for homes, write and negotiate offers, and get the buyer to the closing table.  ABR's help clients find houses that become homes.

An ABR can help you:

  • Be an educated buyer.
