Why do I need a buyers agent?
Published On: September 9, 2009
Buying a home may be the biggest investment you'll ever make, so you should be as prepared as possible, ready for anything, with a trusted professional on your side.
That's where a buyer representative can be a very valuable ally, ready to serve your best interests.
Two different sides!
In the past, real estate agents served primarily the home seller, acting as a sub-agent of the listing broker while working with the buyers to help them find a home. This meant that the agent was legally bound to obtain the best terms and price for the seller.
But now, as a buyer representative, your agent will work for you, the buyer, so that your best interest will be represented.
What will a buyer representative do for me?
- Provide all the information needed to help you make an educated decision.
- Use technology tools to help you find the right location and home.
- Help you to evaluate specific properties.
- Work with you to develop negotiating strategies specific to the property and seller.
- Assist you in determing the most favorable price and terms to offer.
- Assist you in closing the transaction.
- Be loyal and act in your best interests.
- Keep information about your negotiating strategies confidential.
- Disclose information to you about the property and/or seller's motivation within legal guidelines.
- Help you to make informed decisions
For a buyer representative you can trust, whether im the Levittown, Bucks County, Montgomery County, or Philadelphia Pa area's,
