Why Work with a Buyer's Agent
Here are 6 reasons why you definitely want to have your own agent representation when acquiring a house:
1. It’s FREE - The cost of using a Buyer’s Agent is covered by the seller out of the sale of their home.
2. They know what to look for when viewing houses - Whether you’re buying your first house or tenth, chances are you don’t physically look at houses on a daily basis. Your agent is physically looking at dozens of houses each and every week. They know what to look for when viewing houses.
3. Help you determine an offer strategy - you may have some experience with real estate transactions but my guess is your agent will have more.
4. You’re working with a local expert -They will help you navigate through comparable properties, location advantages/disadvantages, and pros & cons, etc.
5. Your number one negotiator - your agent will negotiate the best deal possible and possibly beat out other potential buyers in a multiple offer situation.
6. Representing ONLY your best interests - A Buyer’s Representation Agreement (BRA) is what an agent will use to define the nature of your relationship and ensure they represent your best interests.
