Most buyers start their real estate journey going at it alone. We don’t blame you; it’s a bit overwhelming, and agents can be a little pushy. Signing in at open houses and pushing properties on you, countless emails, phone calls and texts—ick! We feel the same way, so we operate a little differently. We believe it is part of the reason we’ve been so successful as a brokerage.

There’s no pressure or pretense here. We do care about our clients, though, and want to ensure their happiness. We work to establish a relationship with you, one that will last beyond the transaction. We’ve found that after the deal, clients often need help with painters, decorators, organizers, contractors, etc. We can help with that. We’re a full-service shop!

It is important to understand why you should hire a buyer agent. First, our buyers don’t typically pay us anything! In DC, Virginia and Maryland, the seller pays ALL agent commissions. We also don’t have any hidden fees. These are the first questions we get asked, so now that they’re out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff.

Advocacy and Representation

Hire a buyer agent so you have your own advocate and representative in the transaction. An agent has specific duties and responsibilities governed by the local real estate commission that they are required to fulfill. If you are working with an agent where you don’t have an official agreement, then they are not required to perform all these activities and may not be looking after your best interest. We usually tell folks to interview at least three agents and feel them out. See if it’s a person with whom you mesh and would like to work. If you’d like us to suggest some questions to ask, let us know—at 4J Real Estate, we will do whatever it takes to make you happy!

Once you find “the one,” you can engage in earnest and start moving forward. If you elect to work with one of us, you’ll learn that we have years of experience helping buyers just like you. We know how to locate properties that match your wish list and negotiate the best deals. (No auto-searches here, folks!) We tailor the search to meet your specific needs. It's our job to understand the latest market conditions, government regulations, and upcoming developments so you don't have to. Ask us anything!

As your agent, we make the process of house hunting easy and efficient. It’s never about the transaction; it’s about creating an experience tailored to your specific needs. Does anyone else out there do that? 

Our services include the following:

  • Understanding local neighborhoods, property types, and hidden gems so you buy your home exactly where you want to live.
  • Preferred professionals, including lenders and home inspectors.
  • Door-to-door service while scouting homes.
  • Tailored searches for the properties that meet your specifications. 

Now, we have other services specific to our buyer clients. They are deeply rooted in our Realestationship™ philosophy, which truly separates 4J Real Estate from any other brokerage. 

Working with a 4JRE trusted agent will save you valuable time. Once you find a place that catches your eye, we’ll work to get you the best deal possible with the most favorable terms. It's our job to look after your best interests, and we will do so at no cost to you as a buyer. Heck, we’ll even beat any other competitors’ gimmicky terms or incentives. Yup, that’s right! Why? Because we know we are the best.  We were founded on the idea of exceeding all service expectations and work tirelessly to do so.
