Why Would My Real Estate Agent Tell Me Not to Buy My Dream House? Is your buyer's agent in your corner? As an Exclusive Buyer's Agent, I help people find homes and purchase them. The search can be long, and the twists and turns in the process can sometimes be downright strange, but still, in the end, I help people find homes and buy them, except when I tell them not to buy them. Because that is an equally important part of my job – to let my clients know when I think a particular home is unsuitable for them.
