Why do I need a Buyer Agent?
Buying a home is probably the most important purchase you'll ever make. Do you want to go it alone? No! Smart home buyers today can receive undivided confidential representation by choosing a 'buyer agent'. The Buyer Agent is on your side, looking out for your best interests - not the seller's best interest.
How can a Buyer's Agent Help Me?
A buyers agent owes certain duties to the homebuyer they work for. These duties include: confidentiality, full disclosure, accurate accounting, loyalty, and responsibility. The buyer agent will show you available homes that meet your criteria, point out the properties positives and negatives, and guide you through the entire purchase.
Who needs a Buyer Agent?
If you want to buy a home, you do! If you are a first time home buyer, or looking for an investment property, maybe you are relocating, perhaps just moving across the street, all should use a Buyer Agent. If you want to get the best value in a property, you owe it to yourself to have a Buyer Agent working for you.
What will A Buyer Agent Cost Me?
Perhaps the better question is: What will it cost me if I don't use a buyer's agent? The buyer's agent will guide you each step of the way to prevent costly errors. Negotiating the contract, assistance with home inspections, market analysis of a home's value. With your buyer agent, you can receive advice and assistance in selecting and buying the best property.
Who pays the Buyer Agent's Fee?
In most instances, the buyer agent receives a share of the sales commission built into the list price. A co-broke fee, if you will. When a homeowner lists his or her home for sale, it is generally built into the listing agreement that they will pay a certain percentage to the person who lists their home for sale and represents their interests (the listing agent) and a certain percentage to the person who brings in a buyer for their home (the buyer agent).
