Kathleen Baylies

As Broker-in-Charge of Just For Buyers Realty, Southeast NC's only Exclusive Buyers Agency, Kathleen invests much of her time spreading the word about Exclusive Buyers Agents. The majority of people don’t understand the real and substantial benefit of engaging a buyer’s agent who works for a company that does NOT work with sellers. “Many people believe they can save money by acting without their own agent and going directly to a listing agent or a builder,” Kathleen explains. “They don’t understand that the seller has already committed to pay a set amount to the listing agent when the home sells. That amount is the same whether or not another agent is involved in the transaction. The only thing that changes is that the listing agent keeps all of the commission if there is no buyer’s agent or, if there is, he splits it with the buyer’s agent.” In one scenario, the buyer has someone looking out for his best interests. In the other, he doesn’t. Either way, the commission is the same.
