Wow, what a great question to ask! Traditionally, when a seller lists a house for sale, they hire an agent. That agent takes care of all aspects of selling the home…for the SELLER! The agent was hired by the seller, so that agent WORKS for the seller.
If you, as a buyer, call about a house you saw on the internet or after seeing the "for sale" sign in the yard, you are calling the agent that originally works for the Seller! Now, if you work with me as a buyer's agent, First, I will search the MLS and other sources to find homes that meet your criteria, then we will visit them together. In the mean time, I am learning all about your needs so I can more efficiently help you. I can help you set up your financing plan, and educate you about the current market. While visiting homes, I can talk to you about pricing, whether or not a home we are touring is under-priced, over-priced, or priced accurately. Anything we talk about is held strictly confidential, so the seller will not know anything about you unless you choose to share that info. I represent you, so our goal is to help you get the absolute best deal you can! After we put a deal together, I continue to help you every step of the way up to the day of closing to make sure everything goes well. (Ex. Home inspections, financing snafu's, ensuring repairs are completed, etc.
Working with a buyers agent is virtually free becuase the seller's agent has already agreed to compensate me for an executed contract! Would you rather work with an agent that was hired by the seller, or work with one that only has YOUR interests in mind, and wants YOU to get the best deal possible. Give me a call when you are ready! I want to work for YOU
Here is a great video to explain how to buy the best home, for the best value, with the least amount of aggravation, on YOUR timetable!
