We work for YOU!
If you are a Buyer, Skip’s Home Team will represent You.
Traditionally, Realtors® have represented only Sellers in a real estate transaction. During the 1980s, states across the country directed that agents must disclose to the Buyers that they legally represent Sellers. Buyers began asking, "Who represents me?" The result was the birth an subsequent growth of a new service within the real estate industry called Buyer Advocacy or Buyer Agency.
Simply stated, Buyer's Agency provides the buyer specific duties. They include fiduciary duties of loyalty, confidentiality, due diligence, and disclosure. You, the buyer, now have someone looking out for your best interest.
A Buyer benefits in several ways from representation. A Buyer Agent has no conflict of interest. For Buyers who don't know the marketplace, such as transferees and first-time purchasers, Buyers Agency can be very beneficial. It allows Skip’s Home Team to be the Buyer's advocate and to provide the benefit of decades of combined experience in the real estate business.
