Buying a home? Buyer's Edge Company, Inc. | BuyersAgent.com is the first Exclusive Buyer Broker Real Estate Company providing full representation to homebuyers in Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC since 1991.

We have been challenging the real estate industry status quo for over thirty years. As exclusive buyer's agents, we believe in doing real estate differently. We believe that consumers have a right to absolute protection and loyalty throughout the entire home buying process. A buyer shouldn't have to buy a home from a real estate company representing both sides of the real estate transaction.

This enormous conflict of interest was one of the main motivating factors when Stephen Carpenter-Israel and his wife, Wendy, founded their unique real estate company in 1991. At Buyer's Edge, we knew there had to be a better way to help consumers buy a home or condominium. All homebuyers deserve to be treated fairly and honestly. We dreamed that if we did it the right way, we could protect our client's best interests and help them purchase a home at the best possible price, terms, and conditions.

Challenging the status quo with this clear-cut, single-focus agency relationship has convinced many educated homebuyers that working with an exclusive buyer's agent when buying a home is the only way to go. Consumers now have a choice when purchasing a home in DC, MD, and VA. At the Buyer's Edge, we're all exclusive buyer's agents who believe in the mission of our buyer brokerage real estate company. We like to think of ourselves as home buying consultants. Our exclusive buyer's agents are not salespeople. We never list properties, so our buyer's agents have nothing to sell and no sellers who we are accountable to.  Over the years, we have changed how people buy homes in this area. Consumers now have a clear choice, employing a Realtor who works for them, without any conflicts.

“As full-time Realtors, we have chosen to work with buyers 100% of the time because we strongly believe that it’s the right way, and the least conflicted way, to help our clients buy their homes. For over 33+ years, we have looked at the home buying process differently than most traditional real estate agents. It doesn’t matter if our clients are first-time homebuyers or high-end luxury condominium buyers; we only work for buyers 100% of the time.”
— Stephen Carpenter-Israel, President/Broker, Buyer’s Edge

We work throughout the Greater Metropolitan Washington, DC area and the Baltimore, MD region.  We protect and represent our clients looking for Washington DC homes, townhouses, and condos.  Whether you are looking in Georgetown, Capital Hill, DC, McLean, VA, Alexandria, VA, Chevy Chase, MD, Bethesda, MD, or properties in any of the surrounding counties such as:

  • Montgomery, Frederick, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Prince George's counties in Maryland, or

  • Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties in Northern Virginia -- we can help you buy the home of your dreams.

Major Real Estate Shake-Up Alert! 🥞Buyer’s Edge | BuyersAgent.com brings you the lowdown on a game-changing DOJ settlement that is flipping the script on real estate commissions. This summer, buyer’s agent commissions must be negotiated separately, marking a $418M decision that is shaking the foundations of the industry. 🎇So, what’s the deal with the new regulations? For True Exclusive Buyer Agents, much will stay the same since we always had an agreement with our buyer clients on how we would be paid when they successfully bought a home. But it’s a whole new ball game for many other real estate agents working with traditional companies. They must now sign clear payment agreements with buyers, bringing in more transparency and potentially changing how we approach home buying. Payments can be direct, requested from the seller, or the traditional commission - but the key is clarity and choice. 🌞Impact? This ruling could reshape the landscape, affecting realtors, mortgage companies, and more. Dual agency practices are scrutinized to clear the fog around commission structures and ensure fair play. . . . . #RealEstateRevolution #BuyersAgent #HomeBuyingJourney #DOJSettlement #ʀᴇᴀʟᴇsᴛᴀᴛᴇɴᴇᴡs
