A buyer’s agent represents the person buying a piece of real estate, not the seller.
Why use a buyer’s agent?
A buyer’s agent is your trusted guide to the home-buying process—start to finish. They may even be able to help you find the right house before it hits the market, giving you a competitive edge. And when it’s time to make an offer, your agent will negotiate on your behalf so you don’t pay a cent more than you need to.
What is the job of the buyer’s agent?
A great buyer’s agent will use their extensive knowledge of the area they serve to take the lead on your house hunt. Then, when you find “the one,” they’ll walk you through the hefty paperwork that comes with making an offer and negotiating repairs, as well as act as your liaison and guide to a smooth closing.
How does the buyer’s agent get paid?
In most cases, the seller pays the buyer’s agent’s fees—meaning using a buyer’s agent is FREE to you.
