We Would Like To Be
Your ‘Buyers Agent’

    Most likely you eventually will use the services of a Realtor to help you buy a house.

    So why not make an informed choice of the Realtor who will assist you in what may be the largest investment of your life rather than ‘falling in the lap of’ a Realtor at, for instance, an open house or at a casual event where the Realtor hands you his or her business card.

Your choice will consist of a number of criteria. Top of the list will be the type of agency representation you wish for yourself:

Exclusive representation where your Buyers Agent is loyal to you exclusively in your transaction and negotiates your best interests throughout the purchase of a home;

Partial representation where your Dual Agent shares his loyalty with the seller and does not negotiate your best interests only;

Transactional salesmanship where the salesperson’s only effort is to sell you a house without being loyal to or negotiating for your best interests. There is no Agency representation in this relationship, just salesmanship.

Most people intuitively expect the benefits of exclusive representation when they make such a big financial decision, even when they do not think these exact words. The benefit of exclusive representation is the safety net they hope to have.

Other criteria includes:

      Solid experience representing buyers. (Helen Hillstrom has been offering this service since 1979 when few other Realtors offered it. She is proud to be among those who ‘wrote the book’ on buyer agency and whose ideas are now the basis of most buyer agent training programs). 

         Up-to-date real estate brokerage tools.        

         e-Brokerage capabilities.         

         Excellent sources for financing, house inspectors, title companies.         

         Understanding that clients need to be kept informed, and that they need continual information along the way to understand the process.          

         Patience and enthusiasm for buyers’ objectives.

We at Hillstrom Real Estate pass all the above criteria, and more. We practice Single Agency which means that we represent only one party in a transaction.
