Why should a buyer hire their own agent?

As a home buyer you may be asking yourself, "Why do I need to hire my own agent if the house I like is already listed with someone? Can't I just call that agent listed on the sign myself? Can't I do my own search using the many online tools? Won't I save money by doing this myself?"

The answer may surprise you!

Yes, it is true that you can contact the listing agent and they will work with both you and the seller to complete the sale. Yes, it is true that there are many online tools available today. But do you know that as a buyer, you can hire an agent at absolutely no cost to you?

Buyer’s agents are most often compensated by the person selling the property so as a buyer you can hire an agent for FREE!

By hiring your own agent, you will be able to take advantage of their professional expertise from the beginning through the end of the process. A buyer's agent's services will include but are not limited to:

  • Leveraging the power of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to search thousands of homes.
  • Scheduling times for you to view properties.
  • Touring properties with you.
  • Helping you secure financing, if required.
  • Assisting you in submitting and negotiating offers to purchase.
  • Scheduling and participating in any desired inspections.
  • Working with the lender, title company and selling agent to smoothly complete the sale in a timely fashion.

If you are looking to buy your home and have questions, please give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to answer your questions and put the "Power" to work for you.
