Herring is the broker/owner of West Ridge Realty which is centrally located between Monroe and Orleans Counties. There are few Certified Buyer Represenatives in the state of New York and George Harring is now one of them. When asked about being a buyer or a seller representative, George said, "I'll work for you and get the job done right." Propelled by knowledgeable home purchasers, legislative action, and consumer watch dog groups, home buyers representation has gained momentum in the residential market in recent years and is now available nationwide. A Buyer Representative is a cooperating agent who legally represents the real estate buyer. They generally do so under an exclusive buyer representation agreement, much like a traditional real estate broker represents the seller under an exclusive right to sell listing agreement. A Buyer Representative limits the seller's liability, since the buyer's own agent becomes responsible to the buyer, rather than the seller's agent. In addition, a Buyer Representative is often a professional agent representing qaualified and highly motiviated purchasers.
