What is a Buyer’s Agent & Do I Need One?

A buyer’s agent is a real estate agent who represents the buyer of a property in a real estate transaction. The real estate agent only represents the buyer in said transaction. This is done in a formal contract where the agent agrees to represent the buyer exclusively.

What does a buyer’s agent do for you?

1. Helps you find the right property for you and your family.

    Agents help you get in the door. They work with you to find out what style of house you want and set up the appointments for you to see houses.

2. Write up an offer and negotiates the offer.

     Have you seen the mounds of paperwork needed when you write an offer? Agents help you navigate through all of the forms and make sure you don’t over look important items.

3. Buyer’s agents recommend other professionals for you.  Some examples are: A local mortgage lender, title company/real estate attorneys, home inspectors, movers and more.

 You want trusted and dedicated people working with/for you. Agents have multiple vendors which they know and trust that know the rules, codes and regulations of the area you are buying in.

4. Buyer’s agents help overcome any set back that shows up and coordinates the entire transaction.

They are the problem solvers.  They are there to protect and represent your best interests.

Why wouldn’t you use a buyer’s agent to help you navigate and negotiate the biggest investment of your life?
