Why Use Our Services?

We work exclusively for you -- not the seller.
We protect your time, your assets, and your privacy. As your buyer agents we put your interests first. Always.

Knowledge is Power
Our analysis of relevant, past real estate sales and their relationship and comparison to the property which you select IS the most critical element in sorting out fair market value vs. asking price. Sound value can only be achieved through sound knowledge!

We save you time and aggravation in finding the perfect property.
Based on your detailed requirements, we do a complete and unbiased market search for you -- including MLS listings from every agency, properties that are For Sale by Owner, "quietly" on the market, or about to be listed. Due to our reputation for working with serious and qualified buyers and for our discretion in negotiating fair market value transactions, we often are informed of many available properties that never make it to an MLS listing. Once our search is complete, we pre-screen properties to show you only those that meet your stated criteria.

We save you money.
When you have selected a property that interests you, we conduct a complete comparative market analysis to find out what the property is actually worth. Because we represent only you, we also aggressively search for and fully disclose germane information about the listing such as the seller's situation, the surrounding neighborhood, the property's title history, or applicable environmental, permitting and zoning concerns that are pertinent in negotiating the lowest price and best terms for the home you want.

In short: We give you our reasoned, professional opinion of what a home is worth and we show you a comparative analysis explaining exactly why. Our knowledge puts you in the driver's seat when negotiating the final sale to get you the best property value on the market, typically saving you thousands of dollars. Because we don't represent the seller and have no interest in "selling" you a particular property, we even have steered clients away from making costly or unwise buying decisions, based on information discovered about a listing.

Environmental Awareness
Whether your plans include building, expansion or remodeling, it pays to have a team of professionals on your side. Because in these times of changing environmental protection laws, your purchase could be affected by the following:

• Wetlands Protection Act

• HDC regulations

• FEMA coastal issues

• Endangered Species Act

• Title V septic code.

We protect your privacy.
When you share necessary personal information to aid us in our search for your perfect home it is kept in the strictest confidence and can never be used against you in the negotiating process. Our reputation rests on representing you and your interests exclusively.

We can act as your relocation specialist,
arranging contacts with service providers such as real estate attorneys, civil engineers, home inspectors, contractors, and other consultants who have a proven track record with us.

We provide you with every advantage at no additional cost.
There is no added cost to our representation because our fee is paid from the proceeds of the negotiated transaction, similar to a typical co-broker commission split.
