Most of us think of a real estate agent as
representing the seller, which they usually
do. But having your own agent to help you
buy a home can save you time and money.
A good buyer's agent can help you find the
right home quickly because they know the
area and have access to listings, agent open
houses and other information.
Your buyer's agent can advise you on market
conditions and appropriate prices, pre-inspect
homes for you so you don't waste time on
something completely unsuitable and recommend
the other professionals you need from home
inspectors to lawyers. The seller's agent has a legal
responsibility to act in their best interest, not
yours. You need a trained professional in your
corner, and that's a Buyer's Agent.
It is essential to communicate exactly what your
needs are to your Buyer's Agent, so you are both
looking for the same home. Choose your agent
with as much care as if you were selling a home
and if he wants you enter into a formal agreement,
make sure it includes a cancellation clause in
case you aren't satisfied with the service.
Happy house hunting,
