Why not just call the Agent on the For Sale Sign? Be aware that if you search for homes first and contact the agent who has a particular property listed, that agent will represent the seller in the majority of cases -- not you. If you do proceed to work with the listing agent, you will enter into a "Dual Agency" relationship, meaning the agent will represent you and the seller. This forces the agent to remain neutral throughout the negotiating process. Having someone looking out for your best interests as the buyer, is the role of a Buyer's Agent. What is a Buyer's Agent? A Buyer's Agent is a Licensed Real Estate Agent who solely represents the homebuyer in a real estate transaction. A Seller's Agent (the agent with the sign in the yard) is contractually bound to obtain the price and terms most favorable to the selling party. How much does a Buyer's Agent cost? Nothing! My services as a Buyer's Agent are free to the homebuyer. There are no hidden costs. How is this accomplished? All fees are paid by the listing agent's brokerage, who receives a previously negotiated commission from the seller. Where should I turn? My sole objective as your Buyer's Agent is to ensure that your best interests are protected as a buyer. I stand for hard work, integrity, honesty, and dedication.
