ho would you prefer representing you as a buyer? A real estate broker who also represents the seller? Or a broker who represents your interests only at no cost to you? That's right -- no cost to you. For whether you are represented by your own broker, or entrust your interests to the seller's broker, the brokerage commission remains the same and is paid by the seller. If you choose to be represented by Evans Investments, our fee comes from a 50-50 split of the commission which is paid by the seller to both agents. This is tradition in real estate transactions.

Remember, we can represent you in the purchase of any income property regardless of who lists the property. And unlike a listing agent, our loyalty is to you only. That means:

• We put your needs, your circumstances and your goals above everything else in helping you find and evaluate properties. We represent buyers only, which means we have no listings of our own to promote over others on the market. Our only agenda is to find the property best suited for you. This eliminates conflicts of interest that often arise from dual agency.

• We ask the hard questions that must be asked of a seller to ensure that you are fully informed about a property’s condition, its tenants, its existing leases and other aspects material to the purchase.

• We put your interests first when negotiating price and closing costs, as well as terms for seller financing, creative financing, assumable financing and 1031 exchanges. And buyer confidentiality is always preserved.

• We help you navigate the mazes that transactions often present for buyers. And we regularly work with buyers’ attorneys, accountants and other professionals to craft the best possible investments for our clients. This includes advising you on “after sale” issues.

• In the words of Consumer Reports: ""You can't have partial loyalty; an agent either works for you or for someone else."
