Step 3: Why an AGENT?
At this time, most buyers today will opt to work with a real estate agent rather than go at it alone for many reasons. Some of the most notable include:
It’s free! The cost of using a Buyer’s Agent is covered by the seller out of the sale of their home.
Your agent is an expert in their area. They will help you navigate through comparable properties, loca- tion advantages vs disadvantages such as transpor- tation options.
Negotiation is a skill and is one that will help you get the best deal, and possibly beat out other potential buyers in a multiple o er situation.
Your agent will help you strategize to ensure suc- cess when it comes time to put in an o er.
A Buyer’s Representation Agreement is what an agent will use to define the nature of your relation- ship and ensure they represent your best interests.
