Buyer’s Edge Company, Inc.

Specialties

Buyer’s Edge Company, Inc. has been challenging the real estate industry status quo for over twenty-​four years in the Washington, DC metro area. As exclusive buyer’s agents, we believe in doing real estate differently. We believe that consumers have a right to unconditional protection and loyalty throughout the entire home buying process. A buyer shouldn’t have to buy a home from a real estate company that represents both sides of the real estate transaction.

This enormous conflict of interest was one the main motivating factors when Stephen Carpenter-​Israel and his wife, Wendy, founded their unique real estate company in 1992. At Buyer’s Edge, we knew that there had to be a better way to help consumers buy a home or condominium. All homebuyers deserve to be treated fairly and honestly. We dreamed that if we did it the right way, we could protect our client’s best interests and help them purchase a home at the best possible price, terms and conditions.

Challenging the status quo with this clear-​cut, single, focus agency relationship has convinced many educated homebuyers that working with an exclusive buyer’s agent when buying a home is the only way to go. Consumers now have a choice when buying a home in DC, MD, VA. At the Buyer’s Edge, we’re all exclusive buyer’s agents who believe in the mission of our buyer brokerage real estate company. We like to think of ourselves as home buying consultants. Our exclusive buyer’s agents are not salespeople…
