What Is A Buyer’s Agent?
A buyer’s agent is a real estate professional who is legally licensed to represent the buyer and their interests in real estate transactions; that means they represent you AT NO COST TO YOU, as opposed to a seller’s agent who has the seller’s best interests at heart. As a potential home buyer, signing a contract with a dedicated buyer’s agent is often the best way to ensure that your interests are protected.
What Does A Buyer’s Agent Do?
In real estate, a buyer’s agent assists potential home buyers with all aspects of the process of buying a home, from start to finish. First and foremost, they can help you find homes that suit your needs and preferences. That might include flagging listings or open houses for you to check out, and then they will schedule showings on your behalf.
Once you’ve located your ideal property, they can also write offers for homes you would like to buy, assist with inspections and negotiations, and guide you through the closing process. Essentially, a buyer’s agent will serve as your go-to resource for anything related to buying a home.
Why You Need A Buyer’s Agent?
If you think the home buying process will entail just looking at a couple of properties and making a decision, you should think again. In fact, it can prove to be far more complicated and stressful than you would imagine, and it can be much easier with an advocate by your side. That’s why you should plan to hire a buyer’s agent, as there are a number of ways an agent can make buying a home much less of a headache.
