The Accredited Buyer Representative designation is the benchmark of excellence in buyer representation.  It is a designation held by less than 5% of all members of the National Association of Realtors. There are 4 requirements that must be met in order to receive this designation but being a good buyer ' s rep in the Northern Neck means more than meeting those 4 requirements. Most of my clients are looking to buy waterfront property.  They need an agent who really knows the water and what waters are navigable.  Just because a property has a pier and there is 5 ft. of water at the end of that pier does not mean that you will have good navigable water to the river or Bay.  There are many creeks here in the Northern Neck that have good deep water. Some of these creeks have very limited access in reaching the open water of a river or the Bay. Some are so limited that you would be lucky to float a bar of Ivory Soap at low tide into the open water.As most people who visit this site know I am an Accredited Buyer Representative who knows the waters here in the Northern Neck and Bay.
