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.
