The Benefits of an Exclusive Buyer's Agent

You can save thousands on any home for sale by choosing exclusive buyer representation.

Almost all real estate brokers work for both buyers and sellers (and sometimes just to benefit themselves). The only way you can be certain that your interests as a buyer will be fully represented and that you’ll have an advocate with a fiduciary duty only to you is to choose an exclusive buyer’s agent.

If you want great service and the rock-bottom price, you need a tireless advocate on your side. I’ll work exclusively to further YOUR best interests, not the Sellers’.

I’m Steve Setka, Southwest Colorado’s exclusive buyers’ agent. I only represent buyers and work hard to get my clients the best possible price on their home or other property. Check out the reviews from my past clients.

There’s a big difference between traditional brokers and Buyer’s Agents:

Services/Duties Always Provided Buyer's Agent Traditional Broker
Arrange property showings
Provide lender information
Provide property information
Explain contracts, forms, and agreements
Coordinate the buying process to closing
Inform Buyer of all properties for sale – no preferences
Prepare market analysis and give advice on value
Promote and protect only the Buyer’s interests at all times
Provide financing alternatives and advice
Disclose information known that benefits Buyer’s position
Negotiate best price and terms in favor of the buyer
Insert maximum contingencies and timeframes in contract
Keep your motivation and negotiating position confidential
Never have a conflict of interest with the Seller

As my Buyer client, here’s my commitment to you:

  • I’ll have a fiduciary responsibility to represent only your interests.
  • I will provide you with honest and unbiased facts, observations, and information relating to all properties you consider for purchase.
  • When you find a home you like, you will get a detailed market analysis with information on all similar available homes and those that have recently sold. I will establish a value range and provide other data for you to consider.
  • You’ll benefit from my 23 years’ experience representing buyers exclusively, including superior negotiating skills that will result in you getting the home you want, at the rock-bottom price.
  • In addition to listed homes, I will identify homes that are not currently listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for you to consider. Including bank owned, distressed, and foreclosure properties.

You can certainly buy the home of your dreams at the lowest price possible! Call me with questions or for more information.

Testimonials

We purchased a home in Durango though we live in the Phoenix area. It was a wonderful experience with the Setkas. They assisted us in finding everything from inspectors, to contractors, to a mortgage. They were friendly and helpful, but most importantly to us they showed great integrity. If we were to purchase another property in Durango, we would definitely contact the Setkas first.
Dear Steve and Kathy, Ron and I want to thank you for continuing to show us properties for the 3+ years it took to make a purchase. You were so quick to get our questions answered and keep us informed.  We enjoyed our time with you and appreciate your help. Thanks, Ron and Nancy Knaack

Thank you so much for helping us learn about the home buying process and going house hunting with us! Kathy, thank you for all of your hard work getting the financing in place for us.

Steve is a wonderful buyer’s agent.  He always took the time to explain the important details of the buying process and the contract.  He was willing to accommodate my hectic schedule, which was very appreciated.  He also listened to my wants and concerns, and he helped me find a home that fit my needs and budget.  I’m very happy with my new home!
