There are many obvious reasons as to why an agent or broker would be necessary when you are selling your property. From market knowledge to pricing to marketing, an agent is a good friend to have when selling your home.
But what about the buyers side?
Does a buyer really need an agent to represent them? Well, being a broker I would have to say yes. But I will back up my claim with some very important reasoning.
First of all buyer representation is something that is really not all that old, but came about due to a lot of buyers being taken advantage of at the closing table. There are things that a normal buyer really isn’t privy to nor should they have to be. That is where a good agent representing the buyer earns their share. They are there to protect the interests of the buyer and negotiate the best possible price for the property being purchased.
A good buyer agent will walk their buyers through the entire process and make sure that they understand the ins and outs of what is going on and why. They are there to make sure that the correct inspections are requested and completed, they are there to make sure that any repairs that need to be done are done, and they are there to make sure that when the keys are handed over, both parties are walking away feeling good about the deal.
A buyer’s agent should be able to let their clients worry about other things rather than all the technical aspects of purchasing a home. Buying a home should be fun and exciting, rather than stressful and unpleasant.
A good buyers agent will always work for their clients best interests, negotiate the best price and terms of a contract, see that all inspections and repairs are requested and completed on time, and will make sure that there is a smooth transition at the closing table.
