What is a Buyer Agent and How Can One Help You?

 
For many people, buying a home is the most significant investment they will ever make. If you are interested in home ownership, a seasoned buyer’s agent will work on your behalf to streamline the purchase process. Listing agents represent the seller. A buyer’s agent will negotiate the best price and terms for your home purchase at no cost to you. When selecting a buyer’s agent, search for a REALTOR who has earned the Accredited Buyer Agent Representative (ABR) credential. In addition to viewing potential homes with you, an experienced buyer’s agent will:

    • Provide advice on properties, and deliver email updates with new listings and price reductions.
    • Go with you on private showings or attend open houses with you.
    • Recommend a lender to help you secure a mortgage pre-approval and real estate attorneys with a proven track record who will represent your interests at the closing.
    • Assess home values, write up a competitive offer, and negotiate the terms of the sale.
    • Schedule and attend the home inspection, take notes, review inspection reports with you, make recommendations, and negotiate with the seller to resolve any issues that come up.
    • Help you prepare for moving by recommending moving companies and provide local utility information.
    • Coordinate the closing with the listing agent and join you during the final walk-through of the home.
