I just wrote about the auctions in my last blog, and it made me think about buyers agency. I truly wonder what the rest of the world thinks about it. I have been an agent for some years now and was trained to know the rights of each. I personally think that buyers agency is very important.
Have you ever heard of someone getting a bad deal? What about the buyer not understanding the way to buy a home in your area? I have heard too many times people saying just those things. One of the biggest reasons I love my job as an agent is making sure that a buyer understands what they are getting into. Now I know that it takes a long time to explain and make the connection with our buyers to make that happen. as for me I know that I sleep well knowing I did the "right thing". Whether I sold, or lost a buyer I have to say, I stood by them. I have also found that people see that and respect you more when you go that extra mile to teach them.
In the long run, when your buyer becomes your seller, they have a trust for what you say and do. Maybe if more buyers agents look out for their clients best interest and explain the pitfall and rewards or home ownership, we as agents could prevent some of the foreclosures in our market. It would help not only them but the industry's future as well.
