The Most Widely Misunderstood Service In Real Estate Today
The Buyer's Agent is probably the most misunderstood real estate service available to today's home buyer. It is essential that every home buyer understands "agency" relationships and how those relationships affect their home buying process. Lack of knowledge in this one area alone could cost you thousands of dollars and will definitely hamper your contractual abilities to a fair and equitable transaction.
The History of Agency Relationships in Real Estate
Prior to 1993 all real estate agents were bound under the common laws of "seller" agency to protect the seller in every transaction. Though the agent helped the buyer look for homes, find a mortgage, and guide them through the contractual process- he/she was at all times bound to the duties of agency as it pertained to the seller.
The old agency law recognized all real estate agents as either agents or subagents to the seller. This was mainly due to the fact that:
What Caused the Change in Local Agency Laws?
The number one problem that arose from "seller agency" was the fact that disclosure was not prevalent. In other words the buyer not only knew nothing about the property he/she was buying, other than what the seller's agent wanted them to know, but they also didn't realize that "their" real estate agent was really working towards the seller's interests. As a result, many legal cases and lawsuits were brought about due to the fact that the buyer was misinformed about the relationships in the real estate transaction.
In an effort to alleviate the "the buyer beware" structure of the real estate transaction two major changes came about:
Agency Disclosure, as required by most states, requires the real estate agent to explain to the customer or client (on the first "substantive contact") who they represent in the transaction - The Buyer or Seller. This is to ensure that the buyer understands right away who is or is not on his/her side of the transaction. That way confidential information doesn't get mishandled and conveyed to the wrong party.
The Seller's Disclosure Of Real Property requires the seller to complete a large questionnaire explaining features of the home and problems with the property, if any, (past and present). This too has helped the buyer understand more about the home they are purchasing and the property's history.
Of course all types of new services, inspections and tests, have become available letting the prospective home purchaser examine everything about a specific property. Some of these include:
Should I Hire a Buyer's Agent?
The answer to this question is a resounding YES. It's what type of buyer agent that is the difficult question. There are however some general things to be careful of.
Why a Written Buyer Agency Agreement?
For your satisfaction and protection. You are about to enter into one of the most important decisions of your life. Your home selection and purchase will not only impact you financially, but it will affect the way you and your family will live, and the lifestyles you will adapt for years to come.
When you hire a real estate professional, you need to understand that realtors are independent business people with business expenses. To accomplish your goals they need to know that their expenses will be eventually covered through the transaction.
Therefore, for your own protection and satisfaction, you want to work only with a real estate professional that is prepared to make a full commitment to you, your goals and your expectations.

Dear Jeff,
This is in regard to the sale of my home. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and diligence.
I was completely at a loss as far as dealing with a REALTOR®. I am so glad my sister-in-law, Heather, recommended you to me. She said you were honest and trustworthy and she was right. I met you and was instantly at ease with you.
Considering the present market situations that we were dealing with, it was surprising to me that the house sold in four months. Considering some of the problems we encountered during the transaction; you went above and beyond what was required of you. When you were able to take appointments and run out to the house for information because my schedule would not permit it was such an added bonus.
Other REALTORS® told me it was a bad time to sell, during winter and the holidays. Thanks to all of your campaigning and advertising, the house went a lot quicker than I expected. You have proven to be an honest and reliable REALTOR®. In my opinion one the best. I wish you and your family all of the best. Thank you again so much!
Sincerely,
My wife and I met Jeff McIntyre by means of fortunate chance. We had been researching the real estate market in Michigan from our apartment in New York and came across some listings in Owosso on Realtor.com. We had recently had some disappointing experiences with the home buying process and were, at that point, getting fairly down on the whole situation. Choosing at random from the many agencies listed we called The Home Office Realty and I spoke with Jeff McIntyre. He was very polite and courteous, as I had expected from a real estate professional. We arranged to meet.
Soon after our initial contact via telephone, my wife and I met Jeff in Owosso and discovered how much different he was from what we had expected. Jeff showed us several homes and told us a great deal about this community that he loves so much. Jeff was always pleasant and accommodating. He both walked and talked the concept of personal service. In fact, we feel that he went above and beyond for us every step of the home buying process. Jeff was more that we had expected from the real estate industry and we are grateful for his integrity and dedication to quality service.
Jeff showed us several homes and eventually he listed a home that seemed to him was perfect for us. Today, thanks to Jeff, we are living in that same home, happy and satisfied that we made the right decision both in real estate and in Realtors. We feel that Jeff is an asset to his company, his profession and his community and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with someone who so enthusiastically advocates for all three.
Thank you so much Jeff.
Sincerely,Michael & Kathryn Barrel Owosso
