We are Exclusive Buyer's Agents for all Homes for Sale in Gallatin TN, Hendersonville TN and Nashville.  Actually, we work in neighborhoods all over the Middle Tennessee area.  Both Gallatin and Hendersonville are on Old Hickory Lake...with a great variety of residential lakefront homes!  The area is home to many national companies and growing rapidly with new business and manufacturing. If you read national publications, you will know that Gallatin, Hendersonville, Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin are always on a list of the best places to live and work in the entire country.  Why?  Because they are the best places to live and work...and raise your family!  The people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful and even though we have four seasons - the winters are short and mild!  Location?  With interstates I-65, I-40 and I-24 all converging in Nashville, it's an easy drive to Atlanta, Memphis, Knoxville, Louisville or St. Louis. 

We want you to enjoy the process of finding your new home.  But, since buying a home is such an important transaction - the largest investment most people make in their lifetime - we want to discuss a really serious subject before we get started.  And because it is serious, it's time somebody started explaining things.  You work too hard for your money not to take every opportunity to hold on to some of it.

 So Why Do You Need a Buyer's Agent?

Think about this!  When a seller lists his/her home with an agent, they contract with that agent's office to sell their home for the highest price and on the best possible terms...for them!  Of course, that's the whole idea.  Right?

Then, wouldn't it make sense for you to have that same level of representation when you buy your new house in Gallatin TN?...someone who has a legal and binding contract to represent only you - 100%?  Your own personal Exclusive Buyer's Agent working to help you buy your new home for the LOWEST PRICE possible?  Our service is Unique - No 'dual-agency'...no 'facilitator'...no conflict of interest!  

Remember, a listing agent is a fine person - one who works hard for their clients...but they simply cannot represent both sides of the transaction!  If you were involved in a legal situation, would you go to your opponents' attorney and ask that lawyer to represent you as well?  Of course not!  It wouldn't even be legal. 

Exclusive Buyer's Agents and the Legalities Involved when Buying Homes for Sale in Gallatin TN, Hendersonville TN, Nashville or Anywhere in Middle Tennessee!

Actually dual agency is not legal in real estate!  But the State of Tennessee has provided a remedy for this huge conflict of interest.  Want to know what that remedy is?  Since the agent cannot legally represent both sides - the State has decided that they simply cannot represent either side!  What??  Yes,  you read this right!  When the listing agent brings the buyer into the transaction - they must have a SIGNED DOCUMENT that releases them from their loyalty to the seller.  And also at the same time it releases them from any loyalty to the buyer.  Legally - they must revert to a 'facilitator' status, which means that they can only do the paperwork.  They are no longer allowed to advise either party!  And it must be signed by all parties involved in the transaction...the agent, the seller and the buyer.  Sadly, I don't believe this is explained to either side - because who would agree to something like this?  Especially when  you consider that buying a home is one of the largest transactions most people make in a lifetime!  This is why using the services of your own personal Exclusive Buyer's Agent is so important!  We urge you to interview buyer's agents to determine who is the best fit for your specific requirements. 

Do You Need an Exclusive Buyer's Agent when Buying a New Construction Home?

Yes, yes and yes!  Don't be fooled into thinking that you can get a better deal if you go into a new development and buy from the salesperson!  That salesperson works exclusively for the builder and the price is almost always the same whether you have your own agent or not.  The commission is built into the price of the home.  Many times, your Exclusive Buyer's agent can negotiate for more amenities or upgrades on your behalf.

What is the Cost of Hiring an Exclusive Buyer's Agent?

Would you believe 'nothing'?  The real estate commission is still paid by the seller.  As part of the listing agreement, the agent and seller agree on the fee to be paid.  Then that fee is split between agencies at closing.  If you feel the need to pay your own buyer's agents fee, that can be negotiated as well, but it isn't necessary.  Wouldn't you think that having that superior level of 100% loyalty and representation...with no additional cost to you...is a 'no-brainer'!

Another thing...we are not 'salespeople'!  Nor do we care to be!  You've already decided to buy a house - we don't have to 'sell' you.  We are here simply to make sure you have all the information you need to make the best possible decision for your family!  We offer you a critical view of any home and point out all the 'red flags' that we see from our years of experience.  We don't see a lot of homes in flood zones...but one of the first things we do is check the flood maps just to be sure you won't end up having to pay the high premiums for flood insurance.  The Nashville area flood maps were re-drawn after the flood of 2010 - but many times the flood certification isn't done until it gets to the title company.  But, by this time you have already spent money for the appraisal, home inspection, termite inspection, etc.  We believe in getting ahead of any problem to save you all the money we can. 

Homes for Sale in Gallatin TN and Hendersonville TN are our favorites.  We know the area and are here to serve you!  We can answer your questions and provide 100% loyalty to you - the home buyer.  We never put ourselves in a 'facilitator' situation..and we won't put you in that situation either. 

Please use this website to search for your new home in Gallatin, Hendersonville or any of the surrounding communities.  And be sure to call us for help!  You will be so glad you did.  We truly look forward to hearing from you soon!
