What is a Buyer's Agent?
And why do I need one?

Homeowners need to be very careful when shopping for a new home that they have someone working in their interest. According to studies, most buyers fail to realize that the agent who shows them property is working FOR the seller and the seller's interests. As a result, buyers oftentimes will reveal too much information to the seller's agent and that information will be relayed to the seller. Oftentimes, this information will be used to help the seller obtain the maximum price from the unwitting buyers. So you can see that you're best protection is to have a Buyer's Agent on your side from the beginning. A Smart Buyer today will NEVER buy a home alone!!

Q. Why Do I Need A Buyer's Agent?

Buying a home is probably the most important purchase you'll ever make. Do you want to go it alone?

Until a few years ago, home buyers had no choice. They decided upon a home to buy and negotiated the contract without representation.

Traditionally, all residential real estate agents represented the home seller. That was true of the "listing agent" who put the home up for sale, as well as the agent who found the buyer. That agent - who helped the buyer find the right home - actually worked for the seller as a "subagent" of the listing agent. Under that traditional system, all agents were legally bound to represent the seller and the buyer had no representation.

Q. Who Needs A Buyer's Agent?

If you want to make sure you buy smart, you need a buyer's agent. If you're a first-time buyer, if you're relocating or unfamiliar with the local real estate market, if you're buying for investment and want negotiating help, or if you need to purchase anonymously, you'll be best served by a buyer's agent who puts your interests first.

Also, if the real estate professional helping you find a home is a relative, close friend, or business associate or you previously were the agent's home-selling client, chances are you'd expect the agent to represent your interests and should establish a buyer agency relationship. Or, if you just want to get the best value in a property and an agent, you owe it to yourself to be the most knowledgeable buyer you can be.
