Many of the best deals never make it to the open market; they are sold as soon as they are listed, usually between brokers. Using a buyer broker allows buyers access to opportunities they otherwise would not be aware of, gives buyers another set of experienced eyes for due diligence, experience in negotiating the best possible price and terms, and a professional to manage the transaction and minimize surprises along the way. The best news for most buyers is there is NO FEE, as transaction costs are usually paid by the seller!
