Why would you, the buyer, want to go out with just a listing agent?

Reason 1: Do you think that you will get a better price if you go with the listing agent for every property you have an interest in?

Answer 1: The price is the price is the price whether you go through the listing agent or another agent of your choice. The seller will agree to your offer no matter which agent you use as long as the offer is within their acceptable range, with a good down payment, & a copy of a preapproval letter with a qualified lender.

Reason 2: Do you feel if you use one agent then he/she will try to pressure you to purchase a property ?

Answer 2: You should pick an agent that is knowledgeable in general real estate as well as knowledgeable of the areas of interest. You should also "click" with the agent in order to feel comfortable as well as trust him/her. As in any "line of business" you have people that you feel are more proficient than others. If you feel pressure from an individual(s) then that's not the person you want to work with but the majority of Realtors are professionals who will give you the pros and cons to any property and not pressure you to buy something just to make money. In our line of work we grow our business with referrals from former clients as well as other spheres of influence.

In speaking with various agents, these are the most popular excuses but if there are other more pressing reasons feel free to drop a note.

I wanted to ask this question as well as address some of the reasons because lately this has come up in conversation with various agents.
