Don’t gamble! Why you should use a buyer agent to buy a home.
There are very few reasons to not hire a quality buyer’s agent. When you hire a buyer’s agent,
you’re hiring a professional to lookout for your best interests during one of the largest purchases
you’ll ever make. Consider the following benefits of hiring a buyer’s agent.
Representation: A buyer agent represents you and owes you total fiduciary duties, unlike a seller’s
agent who represents the seller’s interests.
Valuation: A buyer agent provides counsel on property value and has access to the most recent
market information and sales.
Contract Expertise: A buyer agent is a professional at writing and negotiating real estate contracts,
terms, and conditions.
Industry Access: A buyer agent has access to industry professionals, which helps keep the transaction
and closing on schedule.
Property Search Assistance: A buyer agent assists with the search process, vetting properties,
providing instant updates of new listings, scheduling showings and providing valuable knowledge of the area.
Negotiation: A buyer agent helps negotiate and protect a buyer’s earnest money should a contract
dispute arise.
Disclosure: A buyer agent is trained to evaluate property disclosures as they require continuous training on
the latest real estate disclosure requirements and laws.
Trusted Advisor: A buyer’s agent serves as a trusted and calming advisor when the transaction may
become overly emotional and/or confrontational.
Ethical Standards: As Realtors, A buyer agent must abide by the Realtor code of ethics in dealing with
fellow realtors and clients.
Availability: A buyer agent is on call 24/7, ensuring your needs and best interests are served.
Think of it this way...
Would you put your interests and future in the hands of a competing lawyer representing the other side in a lawsuit?
Of course not! A buyer agent is every bit as valuable as hiring any true professional to represent your
interests in one of the largest monetary purchases in your lifetime. Why gamble?
