What Brought Us to Tri-Cities TN/VA Area: Johnson City- Kingsport, Bristol TN/VA?

Twenty Eight years ago, my husband and I were looking for the PERFECT place to relocate: to live, to work, and to raise our children. Little did we know that we had also found the PERFECT place to retire in the future!Kingsport, TN was advertising for a Neurologist, but Johnson City, TN, was not at that time. Never having been to Tri-Cities, TN, despite living in NC for many years, we visited Kingsport and found a lovely town, but were particularly drawn to the people, the beauty of the area, and the outstanding medical community as a whole! Tri-Cities people are warm and accepting, the schools are good, the weather provides 4 moderate seasons, the job market is excellent, the shopping is diverse, and there are so many free and exciting outdoor opportunities, festivals and ‘artsy-crafty’ activities within a short drive. While we chose to live in Johnson City, as it suited our needs better at the time, the entire Tri-Cities area soon became our “heaven on earth!”Our sons are grown now and we are looking ahead to our retirement years. There are many activities that we enjoyed when our children were young, that we will enjoy once again, from a NEW perspective, when we retire in a few years. We look forward to those days and continue to be thankful for the day we learned about “THE Best Kept Secret in America”…….. the Tri-Cities TN/VA area, also known as “THE BEST PLACE in the U.S. to live AND to retire!”Call A Buyer's Best Choice Realty® to find out more about relocating to one of the several larger or smaller communities within Tri-Cities TN/VA. Having been recognized as “The Best Place in the U.S. to Retire,” “The Best Place in the Southeast to open a new Restaurant,” the first ever “All American City/Region,” among so MANY other awards that are meaningful to relocating families, college-bound students, and job-seekers, it is no wonder that we have so many Buyers looking for a real estate agent (or Realtor®) who does NOT have a conflict of interest…. an agent who NEVER represents Sellers, one who NEVER lists properties or homes…… the EBA or Exclusive Buyer Agent.

What is being said about Exclusive Buyer Agents & Exclusive Buyer Representation: Buying a Home, Lot, Land, Acreage, Investment, or other Real Estate

Buyer Agents and Exclusive Buyer Agency is NOT a new concept. Since the mid 1990's many news publications have touted the importance of hiring your OWN buyer agent, and particularly recommending Exclusive Representation from a 'True Buyer's Agent,' the 'Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA)'.

If you plan to purchase a home or buy land or other real property, you may want to become more informed about the type of buyer brokers and agents available in your area you are interested.

Here are just a few news quotes found during the early years. Come back to our site later and we will give you some later quotes and their sources.

"Unless the agent is an exclusive buyer's agent..... there is a potential conflict of interest"CHICAGO SUN TIMES JUNE 22,1997

"Hiring a buyer's broker costs the home buyer nothing extra"CHICAGO TRIBUNE MAY 31, 1997

“Exclusive agencies are best. They remove any conflict of interest, which is the main reason for considering a buyer broker in the first place."

"Exclusive buyer's brokers work only with buyers and don't take listings. They're obligated to help you find the best deal and lowest price."Kiplinger's

"Many people don't realize that, unless specifically stated otherwise, brokers are legal representatives of sellers. A buyer's broker, representing only the buyer, may be able to secure a better price and better terms."Good Housekeeping

"Nader again held up exclusive buyer brokerage as the only legitimate option for the home buying public."RALPH NADER - AGENCY LAW QUARTERLY AUGUST 1996

"Exclusive Buyer's Agents work only for consumers and often can save them money"LOS ANGELES TIMES JANUARY 7, 1996

"Only by using an exclusive buyer agent can a buyer be sure all information is kept confidential. Only an exclusive buyer agent can give the buyer an objective, experienced opinion of the homes viewed to ensure the buyer gets the right home, in the right location, at the right price."Mobility Magazine

"But consumer advocates say it cheats both buyers and sellers, denying them an agent's allegiance and undivided attention at a time when they're making a major financial decision."You're either loyal or you're not. It's like being slightly pregnant," says Maureen F. Glasheen, former counsel to the New York secretary of state, who opposes dual agency. "Wall Street Journal

"Unlike the traditional agent who looks out for the seller, a buyer broker acts as your advocate, helping you find the home you want, then negotiating the lowest possible price."MONEY MAGAZINE MAY 1995

"consumer groups strongly endorse the use of buyer's brokers to avoid conflicts of interest"ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER JULY 14, 1996

" Exclusive buyer agents make every effort to get the lowest possible price for their buyers"THE SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER MARCH 23,1997

"If your real estate agent isn't a buyer broker, he works for the seller."US News

"Groups such as the Consumer Federation and the American Association of Retired Persons recommend using buyer's agents... the reason is they work"SMART MONEY JUNE 1995

"The only way to get an agent really on your side is to use an exclusive buyer's agent. I wholeheartedly suggest you look for one when you get ready to buy."TIPS AND TRAPS WHEN BUYING A HOME / by Robert Irwin

"Until recently, all residential real estate agents and brokers represented the sellers, a fact lost on most home buyers. Now... a new breed of brokers has emerged to fend for them." THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

"You save big bucks by hiring a buyer broker"MONEY MAGAZINE JULY 1996

ABuyer's Best Choice Realty: Washington Co. RATED 2ND HIGHEST IN STATE OF TENNESSEE For Technical Jobs/Also One Of The Most Desirable Places To Retire

According to a survey conducted by UT and announced December 2004, Region 11 (which includes Washington County) was rated second highest in the State for volume of technical jobs. Combine this with the reasons which make this area such a great place to live and retire, and we have even more potential for growth which makes the Tri-Cities a highly desirable place to relocate for technical jobs or for finding a niche to fill with a new technical business or service. For more information on the Technical Ranking, See the December 2005 issue of Johnson City Business through the Jonesborough/Washington County Chamber of Commerce, or contact us through our web site at www.TNBuyerBroker.com
Johnson City and the Tri-Cities area has also been written up as one of the most desirable places to retire in the Country. With our full four seasons (generally mild), and the great cost of living, including no state income tax, many people have found our area to be most appealing. We have clients who originally had considered Asheville, NC , which is only 45 minutes from here, decide to move here for these reasons as well. Many retirees, and those wanting a better "family environment" have relocated to Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Jonesborough, Elizabethton, and areas in between. A Buyer's Best Choice Realty ( http://www.tnbuyerbroker.com/ ) has been able to provide quality service in the informational forum, the process of getting to know our area, finding a suitable home or lot to build on, and helping Buyers through the home buying process.Check us out our web site, maybe give us a call, and come join us in our beautiful part of the country, with activities to suit all tastes!
