Exclusive Buyer Agent Code of Ethics by Globella Buyers Realty

Posted by globella 03/15/2022

NAEBA Exclusive Buyer Agents Association

Globella Buyers Realty Code of Ethics

 


Highest Legal & Ethical Standards

 

Globella has adopted and follows the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA).Through integrity, professionalism, and Globella's commitment to the five main principles listed in the code, we serve our clients, our community, and our country. Find the Globella Buyers Realty Code of Ethics below:

 


Article 1: Fiduciary Responsibility

A buyer's agent owes his principal a duty to act in a manner that is trustworthy and which inspires confidence that the agent will always act in the principal's best interest.

1.01 An exclusive buyer's agent shall represent the best interest of the client and only the client while serving in the capacity of agent for the client in any matter related to the purchase of any real estate.

1.02 An exclusive buyer's agent shall not represent any client where a conflict of interest exists.

1.03 An exclusive buyer's agent shall not knowingly direct a client to any service which is less than what is in the best interest of the client.


Article 2: Duty of Accounting

An exclusive buyer's agent shall provide a true account of money and/or any other property entrusted to them, received by them, or paid out on behalf of the principal whenever requested.

2.01 An exclusive buyer's agent shall be employed by a client as evidenced by a written agreement which specifically states the services to be provided, the service fee structure, the method of payment for services, and the beginning and ending date of the agreement.

2.02 An exclusive buyer's agent shall not accept any compensation or gift resulting from expenditures made by or for their client not specified in the representation agreement.

2.03 An exclusive buyer's agent shall account to his principal by disclosing any referral income that might be received through referring that client to a listing agent.


Article 3: Duty of "Care" or Competence

An exclusive buyer's agent shall act on behalf of a client with diligence, professionalism, and reasonable technical knowledge.

3.01 An exclusive buyer's agent shall hold a valid real estate license issued by the appropriate state governing agency.

3.02 An exclusive buyer's agent shall be accountable for his/her actions and should therefore document all substantive events which occur during the agency relationship.

3.03 An exclusive buyer's agent shall assist in negotiating price and terms as directed by the principal.

3.04 An exclusive buyer's agent shall be responsible for researching a targeted property and its surroundings whenever possible to discover all material information.

3.05 An exclusive buyer's agent shall disclose to other agents or unlicensed individuals upon first contact that he/she is acting as the buyer's agent.

3.06 An exclusive buyer's agent shall not undertake specialized services for which they are not qualified.


Article 4: Duty of Loyalty

An exclusive buyer's agent shall remain loyal to their principal throughout any real estate purchase and will not reduce the level of that loyalty through "informed consent".

4.01 An exclusive buyer's agent shall be loyal, never doing anything which might jeopardize the client's bargaining position or other interest.

4.02 An exclusive buyer's agent shall keep all sensitive information concerning his/her client confidential unless authorized by client or required by law.

4.03 An exclusive buyer's agent must relate everything material he/she knows about the seller to the client.


Article 5: Duty of Obedience

Globella exclusive buyer's agents acknowledge and accept the agency responsibility to obey all reasonable, lawful instructions of their principal in regard to the manner of performing the real estate services contracted. While agreeing to follow the principal's instructions, it is also the agent's responsibility to counsel and advise his/her principal where the principal's action may be unwise based upon the agent's real estate experience and professional judgment.

5.01 An exclusive buyer's agent shall obey all lawful instructions of the client.

5.02 An exclusive buyer's agent shall obey all State laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which they do business.

Justin Gramm is the founder and principal broker of Globella Buyers Realty, your San Diego Exclusive Buyer Brokerage. He also writes this blog, "For San Diego Home Buyers."

Exclusive Buyer Agents do not list homes for sale and never represent sellers. They have no "inventory" to try to sell you. They can represent you in purchasing any home. They are specialists at representing buyers only on the buyers' side of the transaction. Exclusive Buyer Agents work to get buyers the best price and terms when they buy a home.


If you have excellent credit and plan to buy a home or condo in San Diego County within 90 days, contact Justin Gramm to hire an agent on your side of the transaction. Call Justin at 858-437-2662 or  E-mail.
