 To be a CUSTOMER or CLIENT, that is the question. While it seems like a pretty easy decision to make as neither involves any cost, except for a token refundable fee, you should understand the difference before diving into the real estate market. Basically, when working with a CUSTOMER, a real estate agent represents the seller or, if the property is listed by another agency, represents neither the buyer or seller. When working with a CLIENT the agent always represents the buyer. A CUSTOMER may work with more than one agent while a CLIENT has an exclusive agreement with only one agent in a given geographic area and period of time. If you want "the inside scoop," professional advice, or a personal opinion on a property or community you want to be a CLIENT. If you prefer the freedom to go to any agent and are not concerned that the agent may be representing only the seller's interests then you want to be a CUSTOMER. Buyers often initially have a CUSTOMER relationship with their agent and later, as they develop a relationship with their agent and before they make an offer on a property, become a CLIENT. An agent's services are totally free to a CUSTOMER while a CLIENT pays a $100 fee, refundable when a purchase is made with that agent. As a fully licensed and accredited Buyer's Broker, I give my CLIENTS professional advice based on my 17 years of experience, offer opinions regarding future value of an investment property, and recommend clauses in a purchase contract that will protect their interests. However, I will be happy to work with you in the capacity of your choice. Let’s get to know one another and you can choose!
