Buyer Agency on the North Fork, Long Island

WOW!

I was delighted to see another company opening on the North Fork of Long Island that understands the simplistic nature of buyer agency: defined lines of representation, to the benefit of BOTH sellers and buyers.

Could it be that we will soon, as real estate professionals, be waving good-bye to that absurd notion that both real estate participants in a real estate transaction need to "represent" (at the sellers peril- vicarious liability) a home seller?

Dare I think it- do we have a growing contingent of real estate professionals that not only understand the benefit of full disclosure in a method that benefits all consumers (rather than simply broker/owners) but also PRACTICE such an endeavor???

The answer is YES.

A new company with experienced North Fork, Long Island agents has recently opened.

Buyers Connections Realty, located at 95 Love Lane, Mattituck, NY has opened their doors. At the helm are Mr. Nicholas Planamento, and Mr. Joan H. van Heemskerck, seasoned North Fork Realtors.

Gentlemen, we look very forward to doing business with very forward thinking agents- integrity in real estate is not only an option, but an expectation- thank you for making it possible!

Making it happen for consumers makes it happen for ALL of us- best wishes in your new endeavor, and we look very forward to working with you!

Isn't this a strange time to be opening new offices?

No, it's actually a good time (in my opinion)- plenty of time to establish a method, get the word out, and interact with buyers seeking (ESPECIALLY now) representation- this is NOT the market in which to buy from a sellers agent (as happens here). A company with this focus will grab the buyers that "get it", as more and more do.

Great post Laurie. "integrity in real estate is not only an option, but an expectation," I love it!

Hi, Eugene- amazing that it's taken the east end so long, but better late than never! Hopefully, other companies will jump on board- it's just a shame that consumers are forcing the change, rather than companies (such as the company above) exerting their own sense of ethics.
