In the middle ages, it was customary for a person of nobility to appoint a ‘champion’ to fight for them in their stead.  Trial by combat ended around the 16th century, but the practice of ‘fighting’ or speaking on one’s behalf continues to this day.

Lawyers take up their clients’ causes to win justice for them.  Professional athletes are recruited to help their team achieve victory.  Superior craftsmen of every stripe are in high demand because their finished product is better.

Sellers’ and buyers’ objectives are different and usually opposing in nature.  In most situations there are two brokers involved in a single sale.  While there are sometimes legal agency distinctions, it is commonly felt that the agent on each side of the transaction is ‘championing’ their clients’ cause.  It is natural to want your champion to be the most capable person available.

Regardless of which side of the transaction you are on, your broker needs to be skilled in negotiating on your behalf–which is why we recommend buyers officially hire us as their agents.  Sellers want the most for their homes while minimizing expenses and avoiding delays.  Buyers don’t want to spend any more than necessary to get the home of their choice and want to be protected against issues that an inspection, an appraisal, title insurance or a survey might disclose. 

In today’s changing market, having an experienced champion by your side is more important than ever.  Every broker on Tupper’s Team has the advanced education, the credentials and the experience to champion whatever real estate transaction you participate in.  Call or email them to find out how they can best serve your specific needs.
