- You have decided to buy a house, but looking for one is very time-consuming. Having an agent can smooth out the process because he will help you narrow down the areas of interest. Your Realtor can assist you to preview properties and select the ones that match your criteria.
- Any buying process starts online. There are so many websites that provide access to homes on the market. The information is not always accurate, and it can be frustrating for you as a buyer. In this case, having an agent gives you an advantage because you have direct access to the MLS through him. Also, your agent can have access to a variety of other properties, such as pocket listings or foreclosures.
- Your agent is your fiduciary so he will act in your best interest.
- A location is one of the most important features of a home. A real estate agent knows a lot more than you about the desirable areas where there is a significant interest. He can help you find the right house and advise you on the resell value in different areas. Also, he’ll find comparable in the area and guide you when deciding to make an offer. I’m sure you don’t want to overpay for a house if you have the option not to.
- After you place an offer, the negotiation begins. There are so many things that can be negotiated, along with the purchase price: inspections, appraisal, repairs or closing costs. Your agent will put your best interest first and save you money. And best of all, buyer’s agents will not charge you any fees!
