Your Negotiating Partner
As your advocate, responsible only to you, an exclusive buyer agent can be a powerful negotiating partner. With a practiced eye, an Exclusive Buyer's Broker can share whether the home is overpriced. He or she knows the tell-tale signs that reveal a motivated seller.
In case you're wondering why an Exclusive Buyer's Broker working for a percentage of the sales price would want to you reduce the commission, let's put things into perspective.
Say your exclusive buyer agent helps you knock a full $10,000 off of a home's asking price. That favor, if you consider a commission of three percent, cost him or her $300.
You're agent just bought $10,000 worth of word-of-mouth advertising.
Additional Benefits of Selecting:
MetroStar®, Realtors® as Your EXCLUSIVE Buyer's Broker
Your Interests are finally professionally represented.

Dual Agent
Seller's Agent

Something each Buyer should consider:
In the case of SNIDER v. OKLAHOMA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION,
June 1, 1999
The OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT said:
"Sellers' agents and dual agents do not and cannot by law give a buyer the same degree of loyalty as an agent who acts on behalf of a buyer. Sellers' agents owe their allegiance to the seller. Dual agency invites a conflict of interest. A buyer who relies on the seller's agent or on dual agency does not receive the same degree of legal protection as that afforded by an agent acting solely on behalf of the buyer".
Dual agency: The illusion of individual savings & the real cost to society

ULTRA-PROFESSIONAL
Just follow the law, by knowing the law.
We are not attorneys!
However, that does not excuse the buyer from not using a broker that tries to understand and follow, as a layman, what the law requires -- the best we can.
Always, consider seeking professional legal, tax and accounting assistance in any transaction to protect your interests and understand your risks.

Missouri Revised Statutes
Chapter 339 Real Estate Agents, Brokers, Appraisers and Escrow Agents Section 339.190 August 28, 2008
“Real estate licensee, immunity from liability, when.
339.190. 1. A real estate licensee shall be immune from liability for statements made by engineers, land surveyors, geologists, environmental hazard experts, wood-destroying inspection and control experts, termite inspectors, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, or other home inspection experts unless:
(1) The statement was made by a person employed by the licensee or the broker with whom the licensee is associated;
(2) The person making the statement was selected by and engaged by the licensee; or
(3) The licensee knew prior to closing that the statement was false or the licensee acted in reckless disregard as to whether the statement was true or false.
2. A real estate licensee shall not be the subject of any action and no action shall be instituted against a real estate licensee for any information contained in a seller's disclosure for residential, commercial, industrial, farm, or vacant real estate furnished to a buyer, unless the real estate licensee is a signatory to such or the licensee knew prior to closing that the statement was false or the licensee acted in reckless disregard as to whether the statement was true or false.
3. A real estate licensee acting as a courier of documents referenced in this section shall not be considered to be making the statements contained in such documents.”
That’s the question that we need to be asking potential buyers who are “on the fence” regarding a home purchase decision.
Waiting for lower mortgage rates?They’re already lower than they have been in recorded industry history!
Waiting for home prices to go down further?There are tremendous “bargains” out there right now.But only the buyers who make a move will benefit.
Will rates go down a half point further?Not likely, but what if they do? On a $100,000 loan, the difference between 4.5 percent and 5 percent amounts to just $30 per month—or $360 per year.Considering the fact that interest payments are tax deductible and rent is not, delaying just six months could take years to make up the difference even if the rates did go down further.
Will prices slide even further?Doubtful, as they’ve pretty well stabilized in many markets. And, unless you have a financial crystal ball, you’ll never know where the “bottom” really is until you see the rates or prices beginning to creep upwards.And by then it’s too late:you’ve missed the bottom!
There’s so many reasons for buyers who are ready and able to purchaseright now.We just have to make those reasons known!
In the previous “boom” years, with rapidly escalating home prices, people jumped to get on the buying bandwagon without much need for facts and figures.In today’s “after-shock” market, we need to be armed with the real facts and figures—not the doom and gloom that’s hyped by the media.And, strangely enough, the real facts and figures make a very strong case for buying now.
I tell my clients as my Dad told his: "You Buy the Neighborhood, You Live in the Home." sm This motto of our company has proved its weight in gold.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.

MetroStar,® Realtors®
WE PROMISE AND GUARANTEE
To put client interests before our own. As an Exclusive Buyer’s Broker: No conflict of interest. No steering towards or away from in-house listings. No hidden fees or profits. Unlike many, we don’t have in-house loans, escrows or have a hand in making money off of providing title services. We always want the freedom to recommend the best services and most competitive rates for our clients—and we do. This can result in savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars for our buyers.
To earn our fees, and make nothing if we cannot perform. We charge no up-front fees, no advance fees, and no transaction fees. In 99% of the case, the seller or bank-owned servicer pays our normal buyer-side real estate commissions. We openly disclose what are being paid on each property including any selling broker bonuses that may be offered on certain properties. We pay for all our home finding costs, (gasoline, printing, ink/paper, etc.) and still search for ways to save our clients both time and money.
To skillfully negotiate on our client’s behalf. For the buyer, we work hard to package financing, pricing and timing to create a successful transition into their new home. We strive to maintain our reputation for “Center-Masterpiece Transactions.”
To expertly manage your transaction from beginning to end. This will include the coordination of appraisers, inspectors, insurance underwriters, escrow demands, disclosures, legal requirements and the other unexpected events to come with the territory.
To talk to you! Like you, we tire of voice mail and touch-tone mazes. If you are represented by one of our professionals, you will almost always be able to speak with a responsive person 24/7/365. It could be as simple and frustrating as a buyer who has hit a loan-qualifying hurdle.
We listen to you! Give us a call and tell us where you would like to be in the next three months. We promise to listen and to help guide you toward your desired housing and home investment goals.
