If you want a real buyer agent in Milford Michigan

As I was driving up Pontiac Trail to Milford last Friday I had an interesting thought. I think that our office might be the only major firm that provides buyer agency for Milford real estate buyers.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of real estate people who say "I can be your buyer agent", but what they really offer is designated buyer agency. That is a different animal.

If someone wants to tell you the difference it is really fairly simple:

In buyer agency the brokerage and everyone in the brokerage is on your side. Anything anybody knows about the seller or the property is shared with you.

In designated buyer agency only the individual licensee is on your side. Often the more experienced people in the office are representing sellers. Often the seller of the house you want. (In this case the company and all the supervisory brokers are acting as a dual agent, but that is another story.)

It bothers me that so many real estate agents misrepresent their role to consumers!
