Broker Roy Grimm Interviewed by iSuceed's CEO Bill Shue
Sedona, Arizona, April 2005- Real Estate Broker and Agent Roy Grimm, of Buyer Brokers Realty of Sedona, is featured this week in an interview with iSucceed's CEO Bill Shue on RISMedia. Founded in 1980, RISMedia is considered to be the leading independent provider of news, information, reference publications, high-level events and consulting services in the real estate and relocation industry. The interview focuses on a growing trend in the real estate industry - the exclusive buyer's brokerage.
Three and a half years ago Grimm shifted to Exclusive Buyer Agency from his role as a conventional buyers agent with a traditional real estate firm in Sedona. Exclusive Buyer's Brokerages do not accept listings and serve only buyers. It was a profitable decision; last year he and his team closed 104 buyers' side transactions and had a volume of over $40 million.
As RISmedia notes, Grimm has taken the buyer agency to new heights. His team's commitment to function as "personal consultants" to the luxury real estate purchaser in the Sedona market has given him a distinctive edge in this affluent area. Grimm sees himself as a maverick within the industry.
"We effectively removed all the conflict of interest typical of dual agency." Grimm says "Essentially, by exclusively catering to our clients needs we are able to provide an unparalleled level of service. They, in turn, have responded enthusiastically."
Considered by many within the industry to be the next Aspen, the luxury Sedona real estate market has been growing exponentially in the last few years. Currently, Buyer Brokers Realty of Sedona is the only Brokerage in northern Arizona representing buyers exclusively.
In his interview with Shue, Grimm discusses his unique viewpoint on buyer agency and how he positions himself as the premier buyer advocate in his market.
