The Buyer’s Agent of Huntsville

The Buyer’s Agent of Huntsville Real Estate Company is unique among real estate companies because we do not list properties for sale. We do not represent sellers or their properties; we represent buyers and their needs. As a result, there is a clear separation between Buyer and Seller Agency through the defined and single-minded dedication to the interests of the buyer. The buyer is in charge, and our fiduciary responsibility is solely to assist and protect the buyer.

For decades, real estate agents in the state of Alabama have operated under the premise, "Buyer Beware". The buyer thought, or was led to believe that the real estate agent, or realtor as some people generically refer to an agent, showing them property and with whom they were spending so much time with was their agent and friend. In fact, that agent owed a prescribed loyalty to the seller. Many times, it was only after the transfer of Title that the buyer learned, at a cocktail party or in conversation with their new neighbor, the good real estate investment decision they thought they had made was not that good after all, E.G., they could have paid less!

Alabama, among many other states, has taken steps to clarify the Law of Agency by requiring all licensed real estate agents to present a Mandatory Agency Disclosure Form to a prospective buyer at the first formal discussion of a particular property. I do not believe many buyers or agents fully understand the gravity of the obligation that this implies, especially because it is not a contract. Despite the changes in the Law of Agency, I still think the buyer must beware. I think the consumer remains guardedly pessimistic and assumes that the real estate agent's roll is that of a facilitator; the agent just wants to get the deal done and move on, even though the terms of the deal may not be in the best interest of the person they are representing. Did you know when you contact a real estate company inquiring about one of their listed properties, the Broker represents the Seller, not you?

Clearly, not all real estate agents are the same. A buyer should interview the agent(s) they are considering, just as the agent will interview the buyer to see if they are compatible.  A buyer should not only consider the agent's experience and commitment to the business, but also the sincerity that the agent conveys. Decide beforehand what services you want, and take your time talking with the agent. Ask for references and see what other people say about the experience they had during their property search.

I do not believe that one can serve two masters. At The Buyer’s Agent Real Estate Company, we serve the Huntsville/Madison real estate buyer 100% --- 100% of the time. We are not conflicted in our responsibility and allegiance to the buyer. The buyers we’ve assisted in the purchase of real estate in the Huntsville/ Madison area and are happy and confident that the decisions they made were empowered through knowledge and were the best decisions for them at the time.
