Working with a Buyer's AgentBuyer's Agents are usually* paid by the seller through the listing commission, so there is no cost to the buyer.
When selecting an agent, consider:
Remember that I work for you, so you should feel comfortable talking and
traveling to homes with me.
Agents are required by law to: My approach is to educate clients about the process via this website so that they understand what is going to happen and feel comfortable with the process. If you are interested in trying out a few different agents before settling on one, you can sign Buyer's Agreements for one day or even one property. Note that once you sign, that agent works for you with respect to the properties they showed - even if you don't make an offer for a month (for example).
* Buyer's contracts typically say that the Agent will be paid a percentage of the
purchase price or the commission offered by the seller. If the seller is not
willing to pay a buyer's commission, then the buyer would be obligated to pay
the Buyer's Agent. Forunately, this situation occurs very infrequently with
broker-listed properties. It is more common in For Sale By Owner situations. |
