Should I Have A Buyer’s Agent?
The answer should always be YES!!!! Put simply, a buyer’s agent is a real estate agent who works for you, the buyer, in a transaction. In this capacity, your buyer’s agent will:
- Set up a meeting to determine your specific needs and wants. Conduct an ongoing and extensive search of available properties that would address your needs drawing from in-house listings, multiple listing services and for sale by owners. He or she may even contact homeowners whose homes are not currently on the market.
- Inform you about attractive properties so you might drive by. Schedule appointments for you and accompany you on visits to properties you wish to see.
- Provide professional comparative analysis and tax records and data on recent comparable sales. Help you analyze and understand all information gathered in order to make a realistic offer. Provide professional negotiation skills on your behalf.
- Help select local mortgage brokers, banks and attorneys. Identify various inspections and services that may be necessary and recommend the appropriate qualified professionals.
- Arrange appointments to provide easy access to the property for various inspectors, appraisers, and others who may need to see it.
- Monitor the transaction process to assure that necessary documentation is completed and available for the closing. Arrange a final walk-through and accompany you to the closing.
Your buyer’s agent works exclusively for you, their compensation is can be paid through a commission paid by the seller. For more information please contact us. Using a Buyer's Agent NEVER costs you a penny but can save you THOUSANDS.
Always remember that the listing agent (the agent who is on the sign in the yard) works exclusively for the seller and does not have a fiduciary duty to you, the buyer.
