For Home Buyers
Purchasing a home is an exciting time in one's life! Make sure your Realtor® is a top local expert!
Why do you need a Buyers Agent?
Purchasing a home is most likely the most complex and expensive transaction you may ever make. Please don't enter into this transaction without understanding the importance of having an advocate on your side to represent your interest. Consider these facts, the seller has an agent representing their interest and in the case of new construction the homebuilder has their sales agents representing their interests. Shouldn't you have a "Buyers Agent" protecting yours? My services do not cost you anything! I get paid a commission from the seller or builder of the property. When the property is first listed, the seller or builder already has a written contract allocating the commission into the purchase price of the home.
A buyers's agent works only for the buyer and is responsible for protecting the buyer's best interest in the transaction.
