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

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, thank you for all of your “first-time homebuyer” advice – we needed it. Thank you both for helping us get our dream cabin in the wood!
“Steve and Kathy have the patience of saints, with great determination. They were able to assist us in finding a financing option for our dream home despite great challenges. We appreciated their skill and foresight in being prepared for any obstacles that were thrown at us. Steve and Kathy are a great team and surround themselves with folks who get the job done. We will most certainly recommend them to other buyers!” Kenn, Mary and Jayne Bates
“I am very thankful that I was referred to Steve. I am from Texas so finding the right property could have potentially been very stressful. He made my trips to Durango efficient and he was very patient with the ever changing qualities I was looking for in some land. This was my first real estate purchase and he explained the process very well and kept me informed at all times during the negotiation process. Probably the most important aspect of his service was his ability to negotiate with the s… Read more
As a new home buyer I was a very nervous about buying a home. I was not exactly sure how things worked or even how to start. I was so grateful to have found Kathy and Steve, they supported me every step in buying my home. They made feel comfortable, answered all my questions and most of all they never pressured me to buy. I needed to take the time and they gave me that time. Steve would talk through the pros and cons of each property and really spend time with me. Steve and Kathy are profess… Read more

Hi Steve, We’ve been impressed with the job you have been doing for us!  We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know looking for a Realtor/Broker/Mortgage Loan Originator. Your combination of skills is really an asset to buying a home.  Adelle Anderson

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
Steve (and Kathy) were fantastic!  I am from Texas and found Steve while looking for an agent.  Most importantly, he knew his stuff.  I have negotiated multi-million-dollar deals so I knew complexity could be a challenge.  Not for Steve and Kathy.  From market analysis to small details- Steve always had incredibly helpful input.  He was very responsive and patient as we navigated the real estate market.  We (eventually) found a great property and the closing went by smoother than I antici… Read more
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work! You both ROCKED it! Bill Wilson
