Not so. If the buyer doesn't put the money down, there is no sale and no realtor getting paid by the seller, which means the buyer is the one who is really funding the transaction. In addition, there is nothing to preclude you from offering your own incentive to have your realtor on your side. Hence, a buyers agent. Also, states have started passing statute law creating buyer's agency. There are even a Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council and a National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents. See: http://homebuying.about.com/od/buyingahome/qt/071907-buyagt.htm http://homebuying.about.com/library/glossary/bldef5.htm?iam=metaresults&terms=buyer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer's_agent http://www.rebac.net/Content.aspx?PageName=whyuseABR.htm The Real Estate BUYER'S AGENT Council, REBAC, was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer representation skills and services. An affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS since 1996, REBAC's membership now numbers well over 40,000 and is the worlds largest organization of real estate professionals concentrating on buyer representation. Members who meet all course and professional experiential requirements are awarded the ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) and/or ABRMsm (Accredited Buyers Representative Manager) designation(s). Both are the only designations of their type recognized by NAR. The ABR designation is geared towards agents who wish to enhance their buyer representation skills, and provides proof to prospective buyer-clients of their proficiency at servicing the special needs of buyers. The ABRMsm designation, on the other hand, is intended for owners, brokers and managers who have or intend to incorporate buyer representation into their company's service offerings. http://www.buyersagent.net/ http://www.buyer-agent.net/ http://www.forbuyers.com/ http://www.naeba.org/ National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents http://www.ourfamilyplace.com/homebuyer/buyeragent.html http://money.howstuffworks.com/house-buying11.htm and many, many more on: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=buyer%27s+agent&btnG=Google+Search and http://www.goodsearch.com/Search.aspx?Keywords=buyer's+agent Craig _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
