Some Great Savings for Home Buyers

The Real Estate Savings Center features Buyer Benefits through Buyer’s Brokers and Accredited Buyer Representatives (ABR). One of the Major Benefits is having a top Network Realtor working as your personal Real Estate Advocate rom contract through closing.

Since the mid-1980’s there have been a number of Independent Surveys completed comparing the advantages and buyer benefits of using the services of real estate Buyers Brokers or Buyer’s Agents vs. the Traditional real estate sales agents. Perhaps the best is this whitepaper put forth by the Consumer Federation of America.

And here are some other tidbits compiled by The Real Estate Savings Center and Shelby Majors, an Accredited Buyer Representative with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in Fort Collins, CO.
