BUYER AGENT'S
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

In an effort to protect the consumer from the growing trend toward "Disclosed Consensual Dual Agency" among leading real estate brokerage firms, Buyer Agency proponents are urging consumers to make certain that before entering into a business relationship with a licensee, they commit that licensee to this pledge of exclusive, fiduciary representation and fidelity. This pledge will allow buyers to separate real buyer agents from look-alike "Dual Agents", by asking the Agent to sign this "Pledge of Allegiance" as a "money-back guarantee" that the Agent they hire will always represent their best interests.

THE PLEDGE

I, Paul E. Kelley, hereby guarantee that I will use my expertise and best judgement to advise, protect, assist and represent you, "The Buyer", in making informed choices concerning the purchase of your home. I will put your interests before all others, including my own, when conducting business on your behalf. Specifically, I pledge to:

ALWAYS

Educate you, the buyer about the difference between the asking price and what the property is really worth;

ALWAYS

Review your financial qualifications with a mortgage banker: and hold all personal and financial information in absolute confidentiality;

ALWAYS

Search the entire market - including For Sale By Owner and builder properties - and submit all your offers in writing;

ALWAYS

Negotiate on your behalf for the best price, terms, and conditions;

ALWAYS

Be with you at every step of the process, including loan application, contract presentation, home inspection, final walk through, and settlement, to protect and further your interests;

ALWAYS

Request Megan's Law protection and disclosure from the seller and law inforcement agencies as it regards confirmed presence of Class III Registered Sex Offenders (RSO) in the neighborhood of choice.

NEVER

Represent the buyer and the seller in the same transaction - EVER;

NEVER

Try to sell you any of my own properties - EVER;

NEVER

Accept any gifts or fees to influence you;

NEVER

Advance my own interests or that of anyone else, specifically that of my family, friends, company, or other businesses;

NEVER

Seek your consent to waive these promises.
