ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative):
The Accredited Buyer Representative designation, conferred by the Real Estate Buyer's Agent
Council (REBAC), confirms an agent's mastery of buyer representation.
The Accredited Buyer Representative, ABR, professional designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer agency services. Although more than 1,000,000 people in the United States are licensed to sell real estate, fewer than 1 in 500 have the higher skills necessary to earn the ABR designation.
As an ABR designee Michelle Storms will fully represent YOU, and safeguard YOUR rights in the purchase of your home.
Do I Need An Accredited Buyer Representative?
Buying a home is probably the most important purchase you'll ever make. Traditionally, all
residential real estate agents represented the home seller. No longer is that the case.
Buyers Now Have A Choice.
Now you, like the seller, can have someone on your side looking after your best interests.
Who Needs An Accredited Buyer Representative?
To ensure you're buying smartly, you need a buyer's agent. If you're a first-time buyer, relocating or unfamiliar with the local real estate market, or buying for investment and need negotiating help you'll be best served by a buyer's agent who puts your interests first - and Michelle Storms is that agent!
Can A Seller's Agent Help Me Buy?
Without a buyer's agent, you're legally on your own. The seller's agent is, in fact, working for the seller and is the seller's legal representative. This is also true of a sales person at a builders model - they represent the Builder - NOT YOU.
Who Pays the Buyer's Agent Fee?
I do NOT charge a fee to my buying clients for my services as an Accredited Buyer
Representative. My fee is paid from the seller’s commission - you receive the benefits of my service and it doesn’t cost you as the Buyer. What a deal!
GRI (Graduate Realtors Institute):
Graduate Realtors Institute (GRI) is a designation earned by completing a national program of specialized, advanced education for the licensed Realtor. It involves intense study, covering many special aspects of real estate such as residential marketing, cost basis, appreciation methods, investment real estate, construction, exchanges, capital gains, and various types of mortgage programs.
The GRI Designation is a continuing process which is your assurance that the agent is always up to date on the latest information concerning all aspects of the real estate market.
for all your real estate questions and needs.
