One of our favorite quotes:
"Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer
broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want and
then negotiating the lowest possible price. The best buyer brokers are
so-called exclusive agents - that is, they represent only buyers, never
sellers..."
--Money Magazine

"You have a whole new evolution of practice in the marketplace" said Sharon Millett, a Maine real estate broker who headed the 22-member NAR task force that issued the report. Millett said that recommendations are designed to give homebuyers and sellers easier access to the "kind of representation they want".
"Buyer brokers: agents that buyer's call their own..." "If your real estate agent isn't a buyer broker, he works for the seller." "Buyers no longer have to fend for themselves"		"Agents: How to hire one for your side." "Most agents who show you homes don't represent your interests. They work for the seller, and their object is to sell the house at the highest possible price."
