Do You Need a Buyer's Agent to Buy a Home in the Washington, DC Metro Area?

About Us
Buyer’s Edge | BuyersAgent.com
At Buyer’s Edge, we don’t believe real estate should be about sales—it should be about people. About listening closely, guiding honestly, and always putting our clients first.

Since 1991, we’ve been proud to serve as the first Exclusive Buyer Brokerage in the Washington, DC Metro Area, founded on a simple but powerful idea:
Homebuyers deserve someone on their side. Only on their side.

We never represent sellers. Never take both sides of the deal. And never compromise loyalty for commission.

Our team is made up of experienced, licensed professionals who advocate with integrity, negotiate with heart, and walk beside our clients through every decision. Whether you’re buying your first condo in Dupont Circle, downsizing in Bethesda, or relocating to Northern Virginia, we bring knowledge, clarity, and genuine care to the process.

Our Mission
At Buyer’s Edge, we believe that buying a home isn’t about sales—it’s about love.
It’s about helping people find a place where their lives can unfold with comfort, security, and meaning.

Since 1991, our mission has been simple and unwavering:
To represent homebuyers with honesty, loyalty, and care—without compromise.
We don’t believe in playing both sides. We don’t believe in pressure.
We believe in protecting people—because home is too important for anything less.

Everything we do begins with that belief:
That real estate should serve people, not the other way around.
That good faith matters.
That trust isn’t earned through promises—it’s earned through presence.

We’re here to walk alongside our clients, not to close deals, but to open doors.
To homes. To peace of mind. To what comes next.

What is an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent and Why Homebuyers Should Care?

Seller’s Edge - Top Tips for Selling Your Home and Finding the Best Listing Agents in the DMV for Marketing Your Home

Here’s a Quick Overview to Understanding Real Estate Agency. What You Need to Know Before Hiring a Buyer’s Agent in the Greater Washington, DC Metro Area. Not all Buyer’s Agents are the Same.

Stephen Carpenter-Israel launched the Buyer’s Edge in 1991, creating the first real estate firm in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area to exclusively represent home buyers. The idea grew out of conversations with his family and friends who were buying their first homes about the shocking lack of representation for buyers in home buying transactions. He founded the Buyer’s Edge to provide a consumer-oriented approach to home buying, eliminating the implicit conflict of interest when two agents from the same firm are representing the buyer and seller in the same transaction. A licensed broker in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, Steve has spent the past 27 years in the real estate and construction industries. Prior to founding the Buyer’s Edge, Steve spent ten years working in the commercial construction business as a project manager and then running a small company that specialized in shopping center construction and high-end office remodeling. Born and raised in Washington, DC, Steve grew up in a real estate household where his father was an appraiser. He currently lives in Bethesda, Maryland with his wife.

As the only Exclusive Buyer’s Broker in the Top Agents group, it is especially gratifying for Stephen Carpenter-Israel that his clients see the value of working with a Realtor and a real estate company that chooses only to represent homebuyers in every real estate transaction.
