Sarasota Buyer’s Agent

Buyer’s Agents Come to Sarasota

Prior to 1989, there were no Sarasota Exclusive Buyer’s Agents to assist Buyers in residential real estate transactions. In 1989, the Buyer’s Broker of Southwest Florida opened its Sarasota office, bringing to Sarasota the first Exclusive Buyer’s Agents. In 1992, The Buyer’s Broker opened in Naples, introducing the first Naples Exclusive Buyer’s Agents.

Oddly, at that time in Florida, except for the Buyer’s Broker and their Buyer Agents, real estate agents in both Sarasota and Naples represented the sellers. Of course, many agents allowed their Buyers to wrongly believe they were working with them. After days in the car looking at property, it was often correct, but it was illegal. They were never their Sarasota Buyer’s Agent. Nationally, there were large class action lawsuits, brought by both Buyers and sellers. They claimed they should have paid less, or made more, that they should have received better prices for their properties. They were successful lawsuits and the Buyers and Sellers prevailed. It became obvious with an FTC, Federal Trade Commission report that a large percentage of home Buyers did not know their real estate agent was not working for them. The FTC called it misleading.

Meanwhile, throughout the United States, real estate Buyers were being educated about Buyer’s Brokers, and their Exclusive Buyer’s Agents. The FTC, Ralph Nader, Money Magazine, AARP, the Consumer Federation of America, etc., and the national media in general, were busy advocating that real estate Buyers should seek out and work with a “Buyers Broker”, and their team of “Exclusive Buyer’s Agents”, to help Buyers find the home of their dreams, at the lowest price and best terms.
