Member BenefitsTo EBA or Not to EBA?Today, real estate buyers are turning to EBAs more
than ever to locate properties, manage up-front property evaluations,
negotiate completely in their favor and provide all the coordinating
needed to profitably close the transaction for them. The result:
property purchased through an alliance with an EBA shows a 47% greater
appreciation in value—making even more real estate buyers sit
up and take notice of the financial value in working closely with
an EBA. Insiders have always known: "You make your money in
real estate on the 'buy' side." If you are a Realtor, making the decision to become
an Exclusive Buyer Agent may just be the best career move for your
successful future. Just about every real estate market is flooded
with "buyer" agents; but as an Exclusive Buyer Agent,
you stand head and shoulders above the crowd as the true expert
in real estate buying. Your membership in NAEBA gains you instant
credibility, ongoing support to help your clients, and our support
to help your clients find their way to you. As an EBA, you'll work
smarter, serve your clients better, and create a stronger career
path for yourself in the process. With NAEBA membership, you'll
have all the guidance you need to make your decision to become an
EBA; one you'll be proud of and your clients will appreciate. In
fact, a 2003 study conducted by the National Association of Realtors
showed the buyer agent-client satisfaction rate to be nearly 50%
higher than that of seller. So, as an EBA strictly representing
the buyer's needs, that satisfaction rate will go through the roof! NAEBA: Working with You Every Step of the Way If you are already an Exclusive Buyer Agent, joining

library not only provides information, but serves as an infomediary
