The NAEBA and CEBAA Story

The National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents (NAEBA) and the Colorado Exclusive Buyers Agents Association (CEBAA) are for profit corporations that set standards, provide education, and attract leads for their members. They charge the members a 15% referral fee which supports the organization.

Nothing wrong here. But they compete with the member for prospects. Most Exclusive Buyer Brokers have significant overhead to maintain their own websites and place well with the search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo and the like). Their websites attract potential home buyers, but so do the NAEBA and CEBAA websites.

NAEBA charges the member $300 annually for dues, and CEBAA $100. Together with the referral fees, it’s a lot of expense for an entrepeneur like me to incur.

I’ve heard from several NAEBA and CEBAA referrals lately that if they had known all this they would have come to me through my website. They said they had been looking at my website, which has a lot of information for home buyers, for months. But being diligent consumers they wanted to find an agent who was referred to them through a reputable organization. And both NAEBA and CEBAA are certainly that.

I’ve been a member of NAEBA and CEBAA for several years. What I’ve decided to do is to offer a 10% REBATE TO YOU, the home buyer, if you select me as your agent without going through NAEBA or CEBAA, and the transaction is successfully closed.

For more details, give me a call at 303-587-3509 or email me at Judith@Buyers-Advantage.net and I’ll send you the rebate schedule.
