Since we are an exclusive buyer’s agency (we work only for buyers, never list and never work for sellers) we always meet with buyers in our office.

At that point if we can show them the value we bring and the loyalty they receive, the consumers are confortable signing an agreement with us.

We would love to have buyer's reps in everycase, but most leads we get from our website are initially reluctant to sign something with someone they just met. We've found a simple way to keep the new client comfortable while protecting our agents. We use a "specific property" buyer agency agreement. When we get a new client or lead from our website that wants to visit a home, our policy is to ask a them to sign a buyer agency agreement that's limited to just the one or two homes they want to see. We explain to the new client that we want them to be comfortable using us to see a couple of homes without being tied to us for a longtime unless they decide purchase one of the initial homes they see. Typically, after the first outing, the new clients are satisfied that they have a found a good agent to work with and will go forward with a broader buyer agency agreement.
