Buyer Broker
I work as a buyer broker or what may be more accurately termed a tenant representative. You qualify for this service if your office premises are or will be over 3000 square feet of office space. If you have less than 3,000 square feet of space you may qualify for my telephone consulting services or you can purchase my Home Study Manual "The Ultimate Guide to Real Estate Leasing for Smaller Tenants". My company does not take listings from landlords and in addition to my diligent study of commercial leases and how to negotiate them - this is what distinguishes me from my competitors. Although it may be advantageous from a financial standpoint to work both sides of the street, I have elected to work just for tenants. If you want this type of representation and are at least a 3000 square foot tenant, you can call me at 416-410-1080. I believe this is the best representation for my clients and really almost a no brainer. But you don't have to believe me. Well known consumer groups and even the New York State Counsel recommend this type of representation. "To protect themselves, Real Estate buyers can retain their own exclusive representative called a "buyer broker". Your local agent may offer such services, but be aware that the agents who also work as sellers' brokers can sometimes end up on both sides of the deal." Business Week The best solution, he says, is to enlist a who has no listings axe to grind. Small Business Visa Article quoting Anthony Dyson The Real Estate Advisor Your goal should be to engage an agent who will represent your interests. Not just a buyer broker, but an exclusive buyer broker. Make sure that is what you are getting." Joseph Eamon CumminsAuthor, NOT ONE DOLLAR MORE! The best brokers are so-called exclusive agents - that is, they represent only buyers, never sellers..." Money Magazine "Groups such as the Consumer Federation of America and the American Association of Retired Persons recommend using buyer's agents...The reason is that they work." SmartMoney "Only by using a buyer broker can a buyer be sure all information is kept confidential. Only an exclusive buyer agent can give the buyer an objective, experienced opinion... Mobility "To buyers: If you want representation, work with a buyer broker. They are legally obligated to represent your interests in any negotiations with sellers." Consumer Federation of America "Exclusive Buyer's Agents only work for consumers and often can save them money - and they don't cost more to hire...Buyer's agents are not tied to any particular property or agency..." Los Angeles Times "Hire a buyer's broker.. the best defense is a strong offense." Worth "Significantly, by consenting to dual agency, you are giving up your right to have your agent be loyal to you, since your agent is now also representing your adversary. Once you give up that duty of loyalty, the agent can advance interests adverse to yours. For example, once you agree to dual agency, you may need to be careful about what you say to your agent because, although your agent still cannot breach any confidences, your agent may not use the information you give him or her in a way that advances your interests."
