A pure, consumer-driven auto broker usually works out of a small office or home office with a skeleton staff, charging flat-fee buying services to any customer who asks them to. But don't feel limited to hiring a broker in your immediate region. As the market for broker-represented buying has spread, many brokers have started working from Web-based traffic and taking on clients around the world.
If you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, wholesale clubs like Costco and auto clubs like AAA offer car-buying services similar to what brokers offer. Even a site like Carsdirect.com basically operates as a broker. Normally, these services operate by working out special pricing with one dealership in a market that can be offered to members in return for referrals. While this isn't a true brokerage arrangement, the service is often free or very inexpensive and can often take much of the haggling out of the car-buying process.
Different clients have different unique tastes, needs, and financial capacities when purchasing a vehicle. Thus, the choice of car-buying service for a new car, truck, or SUV will differ from one person to another. The best car-buying program is the one that exactly fits your need.

One-Stop Home Buying, Selling and Moving RewardsAccording to the National Association of Realtors, the top three most difficult parts of the home buying process are finding the right property, paperwork and understanding the home buying process. Oberdorf further shares that "Home Benefits provides an easy, seamless, and rewarding way to connect customers with home buying, selling, and moving experts under one roof." BJ's new Home Benefits program will be available chainwide and will offer access to SIRVA's Preferred Broker Network (PBN), award-winning program lender SIRVA Mortgage, and a catalogue of moving options, including local or interstate moving services with North American Van Lines, Allied Van Lines, and SMARTBOX.

Clients who use a program-referred agent to buy/sell can earn $500 cash back for every $100,000 in home value after closing.
"Our aim is to raise the bar on the homebuying experience includes offering flexible, one-stop access to everything shoppers need; we assist them throughout the process, going from simply dreaming of a new home to receiving the keys to move in," said Stephanie Captain, Director, SIRVA Affinity Services.
