Melissa Juarez

Massachusetts Buyers Broker Agency, LLC

As a prospective home buyer, YOU have a RIGHT to equal representation.

Massachusetts Buyers Broker Agency (MBBA) is an exclusive buyer's agent company, owned and operated by Melissa A. Juarez. The philosophy of MBBA is simple: create a level playing field. As a prospective buyer, you may not be aware that seller agents do not represent you. At MBBA, we operate as YOUR exclusive buyer's agent, leaving no question as to whom we represent in a transaction. MBBA does not list properties for sale or represent sellers. You may encounter other agents who may be willing to act as your buyer's agent. However, if that agent or his or her office also lists properties for sale and represents sellers, there will undoubtedly be the potential for conflicts of interests. In Massachusetts, lawyers from the same law firm are ethically prohibited from representing both parties to a transaction. As a prospective buyer, do you really want the real estate firm you choose to work with act both as your agent and as an agent for the person whose home you are trying to buy?

You may also not be aware that seller agents owe you almost no duties. Although the purchaser provides the funds to close a real estate transaction, they often complete their purchases without the benefit of any representation. Lack of buyer representation puts the buyer at a distinct disadvantage as compared to the seller, who usually has the benefit of one or more agents working on his or her behalf and duty bound to look out for their seller-client's best interests.

At MBBA, your real estate broker is also your attorney. Legal advice will be given through our lawyers' law offices, at no additional cost. One of the most important advantages to having your real estate broker be an attorney is peace of mind. You are being represented by an experienced professional. The attorney-agent has experience negotiating to get you the BEST price and the BEST terms. You can be assured that our professionals will proceed with an unbiased showing of all homes listed or "For Sale by Owner" and give you competent advice on property strengths and weaknesses, including disclosure of material facts that the professional knows or can discover for you. This means that your attorney-agent offers you complete loyalty without any conflicts of interest because we are working for YOU!

The process begins when you contact us to let us know what type of property you are interested in. The attorney-agent will then send you information on available properties. MBBA is a member of the Multiple Listing Service, Property Information Network (MLS PIN). MLS PIN is the largest Multiple Listing Service in New England and one of the largest in the nation, with a database of over 64,000 properties for sale and more than one million off-market listings. As an exclusive buyer's agent, we can also show you properties such as those that are "For Sale by Owner", in addition to MLS listed properties.

Keep in mind, unlike other traditional real estate agencies where you might feel you are being "steered" towards a particular property, MBBA will only show properties YOU request to see. Remember, you are in control of the process. As a client of MBBA, we will be by your side every step of the way. We will search out and show you properties that meet your requirements, prepare and negotiate offers to purchase on your behalf, assist you with financing, appraisals, and home inspections. Additionally, your attorney-agent will handle the purchase and sale agreement negotiations, conduct a review of all closing documents and attend the closing with you. If need be, your attorney is experienced ready to resolve any potential issues that might otherwise disrupt, postpone or cancel your closing. MBBA will work diligently to ensure that your purchase transaction is as effortless as possible.
