Hiring A Buyer's Agent

She ldon Neal was kind enough to spend some time with me to discuss the role of a real estate buyer's agent. When we meet we recorded a podcast for the Trump University members titled Real Estate Investing With A Buyer's Agent.

Our goal was to help new investors understand the role a buyer's agent plays in the transaction and why they are an important part of any power team.

I learned a few things during our chat that will come in handy the next time I am buying real estate. I now understand that a buyer's agent: used with permission from Trump University

works for me, the buyer or investor
negotiates on my behalf and keeps my best interests at heart (not the sellers)
does not have the same potential conflict of interest a dual agent might have
has local market knowledge on home values and comparables
Understands local trends and what other buyers are looking for in a property and their associated costs

Enjoy listening to our podcast and let me know what you think and if you have suggestions for future topics.

Josef,

One thing I've learned about being on Active Rain is you realtors in the States have lots of terms we don't have here. We don't have "buyers agents" per say.

Featured @ Club Chaos

Thanks Terry for the clarification.

CTS - you are the best. Thanks for the feature.

You are very welcome. You guys at Trump U ROCK! Looking forward to our next visit. ;-)

Great stuff - want more folks to know about this and you so am re blogging!

APR

Good points. This is something that every buyer should read.

Janice - Thanks for the reblog.

Cheryl - Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I'm with you, Janice. Gotta re-blog the good stuff. Great podcast! Looking forward to the next Gigglefest. We have to find a quiet spot so we can podcast either before or after lunch (LOL). :-)

Thanks CTS. Sheldon and I had fun recording. He must be busy now with his little boy. I might have to send him a link to this post...

Josef...

You're so lucky. Sheldon is one of the people on AR that I would just love to meet. The Guy is extremely good at what he does. Not only that but he just has a way of making me laugh. Lord knows we all need a good laugh once in awhile :)

TLW...ROAR!

Thanks for the post. Hope buyers will read it and use a buyer's agent to invest in real estate.

Sheldon could read the Yellow Pages to me, and I'd be laughing.

@TLW - Completely agree he is one funny guy.

@Gita - Thanks for stopping by and yes if the information helps someone then our podcast served a good purpose.

@Elizabeth - Yes he is funny online and in person

Josef - Good selection for an agent to feature over at the Trump Blog. No doubt a buyers agent is a must when buying a home.

Bill - Thanks. Did you see Donald's Advice to agents on the Trump Blog? You might have some thoughts on the post...

Your site and you will reach the big successes, thank, it was interesting. I am from Mexico and too bad know English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "But I also sure there are many who don really care if preschool helps or hurts, they just want a chance to influence how children think, what they believe, and what they do." With respect ;), Tessa.
