What experts say about using a
buyer's broker...

From Money magazine January, 2009:

"WORK WITH AN ALLY
Normally, real estate agents are legally bound to work on behalf of the seller to land the highest price. But you can choose instead to work with an agent accredited to represent the buyer; in this case the legal obligation is reversed and the broker is compelled to use her understanding of the seller and the property to extract the lower price on your behalf."

"Buyer-brokers have emerged as an alternative to an agent representing a seller." "Look for buyer-brokers who have an Accredited Buyer's Representative designation."
...Investors Business Daily

" If you're about to start shopping for a house, be sure you know whether your agent is really working for you or the seller."
...Consumer Reports

"Buyer brokers: agents that buyers can call their own."
"Buyers no longer have to fend for themselves.".
...U.S. News & World Report

"Agents: How to hire one for your side."
"Most agents who show you homes don't represent your interests."
...USA TODAY

"A buyer's broker, representing only the buyer, may
be able to secure a better price and better terms."
...Good Housekeeping

"The rise of the buyer's broker means that you can
be assured an agent will be on your side."
...Jean Chatzky, editor at Money magazine, Today Show

"One credential to look for is the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR)
designation from the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council..."
...Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine

"To Buyers: If you want representation, work with a buyer broker. They are legally obligated to represent your interests in any negotiations with sellers."
...The Consumer Federation of America

Groups such as the Consumer Federation of American and AARP recommend using buyer's agents.
