Why You Should Use a Buyer's Agent

By
Real Estate Agent with Maximum One Realty Greater Atlanta

I was working with a potential client the other day who really did not understand how a Buyer's Agent can help them in the real estate purchase process. After that conversation, I decided I would write down a few notes to describe how a Buyer's Agent can help during the sales process.

The Buyer's Agent represents you in the transaction. They are your advocate! The seller is represented by the listing agent.

Your Buyer’s Agent  will help you narrow down the houses that best fit you needs and wants. They can take your input and select homes from the MLS that meet your criteria saving you the time and hassle.

Your Buyer’s Agent will look out for your best interests. If there are things that seem to be a challenge in a house that you considering, the Buyer's Agent will let you know immediately.

Your Buyer's Agent will help you understand the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Your Buyer’s Agent will help create a Purchase and Sale Agreement that ensures you get the best deal and conditions for your purchase

Your Buyer’s Agent can assist you in getting pre-approved with a lender with one of their preferred lending partners if needed.

Your Buyer’s Agent can assist you in locating a Home Inspector and other Real Estate Professionals

Your Buyer’s Agent can explain a home survey, termite letter, termite bond, and title insurance.

Your Buyer’s Agent will work to perform multiple services between the time you go under contract and closing to help ensure a smooth, no hassle closing process.

As you see, a good buyer's agent can save you both time and money. In addition, they can help to protect you as a client from making unwise financial and legal choices. Even in today's Internet age, where a large majority of consumers use the internet to search for homes, many still also choose to use a buyer agent to assist them with the home buying process.
