Welcome to Be Better Realty
A Boutique Property Consulting Firm Designed for You
What Separates Be Better Realty From the Rest
Be Better Realty was established as a Single Agent Agency Boutique Property Consulting Firm with a singular mission: to empower our clients by offering fully customizable real estate services. Whether you’re looking to sell your property without the burden of commissions through our "commission-free à la carte" services, packages, or create your own solutions” or if you prefer our luxurious, commission-based ‘White Glove’ experience, we provide the flexibility you need to achieve your goals.
As a Single Agent Real Estate Brokerage, we go beyond the standard transactional brokerage/agent approach. We are legally bound to uphold the highest standards of loyalty, confidentiality, obedience, and full disclosure. This commitment to our clients’ best interests sets us apart from Transaction Agency Real Estate Brokerages as the name suggests. At Be Better Realty, our focus is solely on you and ensuring that your real estate experience is not just satisfactory, but exceptional.
Our journey in real estate is backed by over forty years of deep, hands-on experience in every aspect of property construction. We understand the intricacies of building from the ground up, whether it’s the structure itself, plumbing, electrical systems, heating, cooling, or advanced intelligent structure solutions. We’ve dealt with it all—windows, doors, roofs, flooring, landscaping, irrigation, design, engineering, and more. If it’s in, on, or has anything to do with a property, from concept to completion, we’ve likely encountered it and mastered it.
But our expertise doesn’t stop at construction. For over thirty years, we’ve collaborated with top architects, designers, builders, executives, and property owners across various sectors. While our primary focus has been on luxury residential and marine properties on a global scale, we also bring valuable insights from our work in commercial, educational, governmental, and industrial projects. This vast experience sharpens our ability to envision what others might overlook, giving us a keen eye for potential and a critical understanding of what can elevate a property’s value.
At Be Better Realty, our comprehensive background allows us to assess properties from multiple viewpoints, giving us a distinct edge over others in the industry. We don’t just see a property; we see opportunities, potential pitfalls, and the best ways to maximize your return on investment. This approach is especially beneficial for first-time buyers, sellers aiming to optimize their profits, and those purchasing from out of state who need a trustworthy guide through unfamiliar territory.
With decades of experience in negotiations and a history of serving luxe clientele, our expertise extends beyond real estate into the realm of superior customer service. Before entering the real estate sector, we honed our skills through countless conversations with discerning clients, culminating in a track record of success. For example, we negotiated an impressive price reduction for one customer, and many times exceed sales expectations for our sellers.
For properties with advanced technological integrations like Crestron, Lutron, AMX, and Control 4, we have either the experience or the resources needed to handle these sophisticated systems effectively.
Embarking on a real estate journey is a significant step, and we’re here to ensure it’s a successful one. We invite you to explore our website to discover more about our services, and to delve into our testimonials to hear firsthand from our satisfied clients. Their stories reflect the level of dedication and expertise that we strive to bring to each and every transaction.
What is the Brokerage Relationship Disclosure

This disclosure is essential for ensuring transparency and helping clients understand the duties and obligations their real estate professional owes them.
Single Agent Notice
Single Agent: A single agent represents either the buyer or the seller, but never both in the same transaction. They have a fiduciary duty to their client, which includes loyalty, confidentiality, full disclosure, obedience, and accounting.

Transaction Broker
As a “transaction broker”, ___________ and its associates, provides to you a limited form of representation that includes the following duties:
Dealing honestly and fairly;
Accounting for all funds;
Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction;
Disclosing all known facts that materially affect the value of residential real property and are not readily observable to the buyer;
Presenting all offers and counteroffers in a timely manner, unless a party has previously directed the licensee otherwise in writing;
Limited confidentiality, unless waived in writing by a party. This limited confidentiality will prevent disclosure that the seller will accept a price less than the asking or listed price, that the buyer will pay a price greater than the price submitted in a written offer, of the motivation of any party for selling or buying property, that a seller or buyer will agree to financing terms other than those offered, or of any other information requested by a party to remain confidential; and
Any additional duties that are entered into by this or by separate written agreement.
Limited representation: Limited representation means that a buyer or seller is not responsible for the acts of the licensee. Additionally, parties are giving up their rights to the undivided loyalty of the licensee. This aspect of limited representation allows a licensee to facilitate a real estate transaction by assisting both the buyer and the seller, but a licensee will not work to represent one party to the detriment of the other party when acting as a transaction broker to both parties.
