Why Use an Exclusive Buyer Agent?

Who Is Your REALTOR Working For?
  • Only an Exclusive Buyer Agent (often called an Exclusive Buyer's Broker) can GUARANTEE to represent you in your home purchase.
  • Only an EBA can GUARANTEE to negotiate on your behalf.
  • An EBA provides the true facts as to value, market/neighborhood conditions, and obvious physical defects.
  • The high level of negotiation training and expertise of an EBA truly levels the playing when it is time to make an offer on a property.
  • Because an EBA only represents you, the buyers, a seller is always unaware of the price buyers are willing to spend during the negotiation process, bringing the advantage back to the buyer and the buyer's wallet. For this reason alone, it is very common to save thousands of dollars during the critical negotiation process.
  • An EBA will insist that the buyer utilize a qualified home inspector who will treat the buyer as their client, and not as a customer.
  • Listing agents (the ones with the sign in the front yard) and the company that they work for represent the SELLER, not the buyer. Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price on the best terms.
  • An EBA's job is to get the BUYER the lowest price on the best terms.
  • EBAs will do a better job for transferees that anyone else. They will give you the facts, good and bad.
  • A listing agent cannot tell you about many things that would be detrimental for the BUYER because they work for the SELLER.
  • An EBA will help you with your financing alternatives. They may advise you to be pre-approved by a lender. Why? Because a fully approved loan makes you a cash buyer.
  • EBA’s have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interests first!
  • It just makes sense!

    TESTIMONIALS

    Paul, Thank you for such a nice experience purchasing a home out-of -state. Your web-site, the daily listings were most helpful. We love the house and we are still in shock that it is even ours. Thanks so much to Rocky for the blow-up mattress and the great beach gifts for the kids...we put all to use yesterday.(Labor Day) We love the neighborhood and we have already met lots of nice neighbors. I hope that you enjoyed your BBQ on Sunday. We are sorry that we couldn't make it. I really wanted to thank you in person. Let's touch base soon. Thanks again, Lisa and Lisa Grimes

    Hi Paul and Doug, We really had a positive experience with you guys. I tried to warn Doug that we were ready, and I'm not sure he understood how ready we were. It was fast and furious, but, working together, we pulled it off. Thanks to all!!! Larry was great! All in all, very positive feedback. Best of luck to all of you. Many thanks, again and again, for helping us. We'll keep in touch.

    After unpleasant experiences with more than a few real estate agents, we finally contact Paul. I regret we didn’t contact him initially. We’ve already been using his excellent website and newsletter for up to date information, but unfortunately, we always called the broker whose name was on the For Sale sign whenever we drove around Michigan, previewing property. We will never make that mistake again! Even though we've purchased and sold several properties in the past [Illinois], we never appreciated how beneficial it would be to have a real estate agent who was working on our behalf. Paul's approach was unlike any we've ever encountered before. I wholeheartedly agree with the comment by TD. He is brutally honest, even when what he was conveying was difficult to hear. In the end, we are confident we made a great investment and it was a opportunity we would not have even been aware of had we not contacted Paul. I enthusiastically recommend Paul Zubrys to anyone in need of a Michigan real estate broker. Don’t waste valuable time. Call Paul first.

    Paul did an excellent job helping us find and purchase the perfect home in Union Pier. He has insights about the Southwest Michigan real estate market that we were unable to find with any other agent. He follows up very quickly on voice and e-mails and his Website is superior to any real estate site on the Internet. We would use Paul concerning any future purchases in Southwest Michigan. Highly recommended.

    My wife and I very recently worked with Paul to find a getaway home for our growing family. Paul is very knowledgeable of the whole Harbor Country area and helped us quickly understand specific location pros / cons and property valuations. He was a quick email or phone call away throughout the buying process. This was the smoothest real estate transaction we’ve ever been a part of. We bought a wonderful property in Lakeside that we’re thrilled about. Paul was professional, responsive and an effective Buyer’s Agent through negotiations and close. He also exceeded expectations by assisting with local contacts and service providers. I’m certain we will stay in touch as we get settled into the community. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy�real estate�in Southwest Michigan.

    Paul recently represented us in purchasing a home. He has great indepth knowldege of the local market and a solid understanding of all the properties he showed us. His approach to finding our family a home was informative and focused. Combine these factors with his efficient and effective handling every step of the process and we can easily say he made finding and purchasing a home a great experience.

    With the help from Paul, my wife and I just purchased a home in Union Pier. Paul demonstrated knowledge, patience and honesty throughout the entire process. As if that were not enough, he makes himself available after the purchase is complete. I strongly recommend the services of Paul Zubrys.

    By Heriberto V

    Above and beyond the call of duty. Paul’s personality and approach made the entire experience of buying a second home fun and easy. He goes above and beyond the call of duty by helping you integrate into the community. I’ve got the home I love and a new friend in the process.

    By Nancy Koenig

    Paul’s style of doing business can best be�described as brutally honest. He will tell you what he really thinks, not what he thinks you want to hear. I’ve purchased, developed, and sold real estate all over the country. Paul is the only broker I would use in the midwest.
    .
    By T.D.

    Best website for lakefront property in Michigan. Nothing else is even close. As a buying agent,�Paul’s combined level of knowledge, expertise and integrity is refreshingly high in an industry which seems to have many agents that lack all three. He is the only buying broker I would use in Michigan.
