It’s a small investment compared to the cost of getting a major property decision wrong-financially, legally, and emotionally.
Because:
We work with a small number of serious buyers at a time. Exclusivity allows us to:
“If we weren’t exclusive, we’d have to hold back. Our clients deserve more than passive property tours – they deserve full advocacy.”
Fair question, and we’re open about the fact that we earn a commission. But in reality:
“If the commission is paid by the seller, isn’t your loyalty with them then?”
Yes, there is a commission that’s part of the sale price—and it is commonly paid by the seller for tax structuring reasons. But here’s the key difference:
We’re hired by you, not the seller.
That means we owe our legal, strategic, and fiduciary duty entirely to you.
Your best deal is our best outcome. “Our loyalty is defined by our contract—not by who issues the payment.”
Whether that commission comes via the seller or not doesn’t change that.
What matters is that we have a signed agreement with you, and our only goal is to protect your interests, not to ‘make a sale.’
In fact, we regularly advise our clients not to proceed with properties – because we’re paid to protect, not push.”
“Many of our clients had the same concern at first. And by the end, they told us they were relieved to have someone who wasn’t trying to ‘close the deal’—but was trying to protect them from the wrong deal.”
“Think of it like hiring a lawyer who’s paid through a settlement, or a financial advisor whose fee is embedded in an investment product.
What matters is who they work for and what they’re contractually obligated to do.
We’re your representative, not a middleman in the transaction. That’s why our clients feel protected and why sellers often find us inconvenient.”
You only see what listing agents want to sell and is on their own portfolio. This leaves you having to contact many agencies.
