Your Exclusive Buyer’s Agent
James Potenza,
James is a part of a very unique and specialized group of REALTORS ®.
When you buy a home from the listing agent, you have NO representation. They represent the SELLER. It is their job to get the SELLER the highest price and the most favorable terms. They present you with a dual agency agreement and they owe their fiduciary duties to the SELLER.
They are REQUIRED to tell the seller anything that would benefit them in the negotiation process, including the highest price you are willing to pay.
Only Real Estate agents that work with a brokerage that does not list homes can truly be an Exclusive Buyer's Agent. Other agents focus their time as a listing agent and can enter into a intermediary relationship, which leave the buyer without representation. Working with an Exclusive Buyer's Agent ensures that the buyer will always be protected.
Our policy is to inform and represent our client's best interests, not sell homes. Our clients are completly amazed to find our representation to be more service oriented. We have extensive knowledge of residential home construction and use our negotiation skills to get the best price and terms for our clients.
We have proven to save our clients thousands of dollars when they purchase a home.
Unlike most Real Estate Agents, James does not list properties for sale. TEXAS HOME-BUY Realty does not list any homes for sale. That allows James and his team much more time and devotion to his home buying clients. James is a member of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer’s Agents, which enables him the resources to assist home buying clients more effectively.
Over the years, James has spent a lot of time with home inspectors. He has learned how to "pre-inspect" homes by pointing out potential problems to his clients. He feels there is no reason to spend time on a house that has too many costly defects. Some of his clients are pleasantly surprised and sometimes shocked to have a Realtor immediately point out problems to be concerned with.
James is the broker and owner of TEXAS HOME-BUY Realty located in Friendswood Texas, Just south of Houston. James is also a relocation specialist and has undergone specific relocation training. Through his training and experience, he understands the time sensitive needs required by corporations, third party relocation companies, and especially the relocating client. James also understands the need to help relocating clients "buy right" so that the new home will remain marketable and to have several backup plans in place so that there is no interruption in the relocation process. "Communication is the key to a successful relocation. I keep the entire "team" up to speed on the progress of locating and purchasing a home and carefully listen to the needs of my clients and their corporation."
James holds an Electronic Engineering Technology degree and implements his analytical and methodical skills to enhance the home buying process for his clients. James provides the necessary data and property analysis to his clients so they can make an educated decision. “Without question, my clients know exactly what they are buying.” James also brings over 20 years in customer service and management skills to the negotiation table for his clients. James has attended many negotiation courses and combines his knowledge and experience to get the best deal for his clients. He started his Real Estate Career in 1997, as an investor, which taught him the creative financing, buying, and selling aspects of Real Estate. Now, James integrates all of his experience and skills into a complete and highly specialized Real Estate Agent for his home buying clients. He considers himself an expert negotiator for his client's behalf and always has his client's best interest at heart. James takes great pride in finding potential flaws in construction or lack of maintenance in all of the homes he sees.
"Anyone looking to buy a home will benefit from having someone with the experience and skills that James has on their side."
James has lived in the Houston area all of his life and has lived in the Pearland/Friendswood area since 1990. James is a proud father of a beautiful girl that attends Middle School in Pearland ISD. His wife, whom he has been married to for 15 years, is also in the Real Estate industry and is his supportive coach and a wonderful mother. The Potenza's are active members of New Life Lutheran Church in Pearland.
"My clients expect the best and that is what I give them, 100% loyalty and commitment”
James has undergone numerous training courses specifically designed to provide better representation as an Exclusive Buyer's Agent and continues to increase his knowledge in the Real Estate industry.
