Before the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) came along, buyers did not enjoy the same representation that sellers received in the real estate market. Today, however, Tri-City home buyers can enjoy the representation that treats them as a client, not a customer.
Before the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council was formed in 1988, only sellers received full representation and full fiduciary responsibilities from their agent in real estate transactions. Buyers received assistance from licensees who acted as agents or sub-agents for the seller, often times resulting in conflicting interests that negatively affected the buyer.
Buyer representation makes sure that buyers are protected from these conflicting interests and results in a much better home buying experience. REBAC continues to focus on real estate buyers across the country by providing valuable resources and assistance.
As an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), I would love to help you find the home of your dreams in the Tri-City area. Contact me today at 866-723-6044 to learn more about hiring me as your buyer’s representative to protect you when buying a home.

Great points, thanks for sharing. The listing agent is working for and representing the best interests of their client – the sellers. Buying a home is generally one of the largest financial decisions a person will ever make. Put a “buyer’s agent” to work and have the benefit of an experienced professional on your side. Your buyer’s agent is your advocate, your advisor, your negotiator, and your confidante throughout the buying process.
Dan,
Thank you for your comment and insights – I could not agree more! I believe this is a point that many buyers may not realize if they enter the market without an agent representing their sole interests.
Please feel to comment on future posts as well!
Best,
Eunice
