Listing agents are required to represent the best interests of the seller. A buyer's agent works with you to represent your best interests and usually requires a buyer's broker agreement to be able to represent you exclusively and be guaranteed compensation for their hard work. Compensation is most often not paid by you, the buyer, but by the seller's MLS listing agreement.

TESTIMONIALS ABOUT WORKING WITH DAVID BROWN A BUYERS AGENT

from Grant and Christine C., West Linn who bought a home near Dallas, OR (Salem area)

"To Whom It May Concern:

My wife and I recently went through the process of purchasing a rural property. In our quest, we were fortunate enough to have no restrictions on where we could live, and were able to actively investigate areas from extreme southern Oregon to southern Washington. A large task, to be sure!

Along the way, we worked with nearly a dozen buyer's agents. Of all the agents we met, only one stood out: David Brown. It wasn't because he was gaudy or obnoxiously extroverted; it was because he was quiet, thoughtful, and really knows real estate and the buying process.

He was the only agent who was fully prepared from the first time we shook hands. He came with folders holding more information on the properties we viewed than anyone else had even thought about supplying. In fact, it was astonishing how well he'd done his homework - right down to visiting the neighbors ahead of our showing! 

We ended up selling our existing property and purchasing the new one simultaneously. We had a listing agent and a buying agent on each property, which meant a total of four involved agents. 

Of the four, David was (not surprisingly) the standout. He had his finger on every detail; everything was done on time, exactly as required, and completely professionally. My wife commented that she wished we'd been able to have David sell our old house, as he was simply so much better at his job than the other three - none of them were even close. 

We can tell you from experience: if you need to buy a new home, David Brown is the only person worth calling. He's just that good."

"---David,
Thank you for your outstanding service as our realtor in our search for a house we could rehab. You listened to our criteria and found exactly what we were looking for without wasting our valuable time. Going above and beyond the call of duty, you even researched city ordinances, coordinated bank paperwork, and met with us on our time schedules (some times before the sun was up). We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail, and we look forward to working with you again in the future."
Don and Laurie Isaacson, Wilsonville
