Buying Your First Home — Working With A Buyers Agent

Buying Your First Home — Working With A Buyers Agent

As a prospective Buyer of your first home, or fifth home for that matter, you should be aware that in many cases the Sales Representative showing you a property is actually representing the Seller. This means that they are legally obligated to pass any information along to the sellers which you provide to them...information which could dramatically and adversely impact your ability to be represented fairly.

Working with a Buyer’s Representative to buy your first home eliminates any conflict of interest as the specialist works only to represent your needs. As well as providing dedicated representation, the Buyers Representative invests substantial time and effort in locating your dream home.

A large part of the Buyer’s Representative’s work is performed “behind the scenes” previewing homes, researching comparable sales, gaining market knowledge, evaluating changing legislations and maintaining professional credentials.

In return for the dedicated work that a Buyer’s Representative provides for you, the client, all they ask for is your loyalty and commitment to them. This will give the agent the security in knowing that they will be paid for their time. Remember that the Buyer Representative that is representing you will be investing considerable more time with you than a specialist who is just simply showing you homes.

Having a Buyer’s Representative will enable you to be represented professionally. They will not only help you find a home, but also guide you and make you feel comfortable with every decision you make along the way.

And Best of All, these services are free of charge to you!
