Read what various consumer advocates say
about home buyer representation:
"Get an
advocate on your side. It's commonplace now for buyers
to sign up their own agents to represent their interests in a deal. Look for a buyer's broker who will represent you -- and only
you."
Kiplinger's
Personal Finance Magazine
©1998
"A buyer who relies on the seller's agent or on dual agency does not receive the same degree of legal protection as that afforded by an agent acting solely on behalf of the buyer." Oklahoma Supreme Court, 1999 "Enroll in a homeownership counseling course and use an agent or broker. Look for an exclusive buyer agent, if possible, who will have your interests at heart and can help you with strategies during the bidding process on the home of your choice." A,B,C's
of Buying a Home, Dept of HUD brochure, 2005
"Buyer representation is not the exception anymore, it's the norm,..... "Consumers now know they have the right to be represented....."You can also engage what's called an "exclusive buyer's agent." This is the purest form of buyer representation......" ...the Washington,D.C.-based Consumer Federation of America says because many consumers aren't even aware they have a right to know by whom and how they are represented, they are under represented to the tune of $10 billion a year in higher home costs.

With consumers' increasing awareness of buyer representation, more brokers like the DiFulgentizes -- though still a small minority of licensed real estate agents -- are giving up residential listings and avoiding the potential confusion and conflicts of interest that can occur when brokers in the same office are representing both buyer and seller.
