Get a Buyer’s Agent for Your Real Estate Purchase
Author: Ruth Honick // Category: Real Estate
Real estate practices have changed over the years. Even though buyers were not informed, in most transactions involving a “selling” and a “listing” agent both agents represented the seller’s interest.
In today’s real estate market, a buyer can choose to work with a “buyer’s agent.” This agent works to protect the buyer’s interests in the real estate purchase by showing properties that meet the buyer’s needs, fully disclosing any facts about the property or the area to the buyer, writing the offer with the buyer’s price considerations in mind, presenting the offer in its best light, negotiating the offer and attempting to get the buyer’s price accepted, knowing the market and home values to advise the buyer, following the process from contract to closing by keeping the buyer informed, helping the buyer with financing questions, inspection decisions, and construction concerns. The buyer’s agent is in your camp!
The cost for the buyer’s agent is generally paid for by the seller. This makes having a buyer’s agent free to the buyer. What a deal! You will realize when your home is purchased that your buyer’s agent services were invaluable.
