ABR, CBR, CBB
As a home buyer, you are my only concern. We never represent sellers, so I have no prior obligations, split loyalties or divided allegiance. My buyers can rest easy knowing I am working on their behalf 100% of the time.
Because neither Hugh nor I believe we could effectively represent both a buyer and a seller in the same transaction, we structured our business so we would never be put in that position.
We will never ask you to settle for Dual Agency or Designated Agency. (Dual Agency is when a real estate agent is representing both the buyer and the seller and can do nothing for either of them which would help the other one. Is that what you want?)
More About Carol…
I was born in Hickory, NC. We moved to Greenville, SC when I was two and then to Florence, SC when I was nine. I graduated from McClenaghan High School in Florence and attended Winthrop College in Rock Hill. I moved to Columbia in 1969 and have been here ever since.
Hugh and I opened Earth Available Realty, Inc. as partners in January of 1991. In December of 1992 we broadened our partnership to the rest of our lives by getting married – both partnerships have worked out extremely well! Between us, we have three children and five grandchildren (who are the delight of our lives!)
My favorite part of our business is meeting the wide range of discriminating people who become our clients. I have found that the people who give enough thought to what they do to recognize the benefits of Exclusive Buyer Representation are invariably insightful, interesting individuals.
