There are a lot of home buyers out there that think real estate agents merely drive people around, unlock doors and let people inside homes.  Some even view us as glorified taxi drivers.  However, the truth is that during the course of a transaction, we end up "wearing many hats" as the process is quite complicated.  With that in mind, we are writing today to educate home buyers of the many benefits of using a buyer's agent.
Here is just a small list of things a buyer's agent does for their clients:
1.   Educate a buyer regarding the home buying process, including explaining fair housing laws and agency relationships.
2.   Preview homes in advance and also find "off market" opportunities including"pocket listings" - saving valuable time.
3.   Discuss advantages and disadvantages of different types of housing and specific features of homes that may affect resale.
4.   Assist with financing.
5.   Provide information on schools, neighborhoods and places of interest.
6.   Help with market stats.
7.   Negotiate offers on buyer's behalf to get them the best price and terms.
8.   Explain the home inspection process, provide names ... more
