Why Do I Need to Have A Buyer's Agent?

Ahh, the age old questions about buyer's agency.

To the general public, buyer agency is probably the most misunderstood aspect of buying Real Estate.

How much will it cost me?

Do I even need a buyer's agent?

Will I save money if I just call the listing agent?

Can a buyer's agent help me with new construction homes? Foreclosures? HUD homes? For Sale By Owners homes?

I seem to answer these questions on a daily basis.

And, I'm happy to give the following responses:

• How much will it cost me to have a buyer's agent in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. NOTHING! In fact, having buyer representation in all of North Carolina does not cost you anything. But it will cost you your loyalty to the agent who will work hard to find you that "just right" home. So make sure you look for an agent who will promote YOUR best interests.

• Do I even need a buyer's agent? YES you do! Licensed Real Estate agents have access to a lot more information that the general public does. When making a purchase of this magnitude, it only makes sense to have someone who sells Real Estate every day. Not to mention, that should you make a mistake when purchasing a home, the monetary effects of that mistake can add up to a hefty sum... quickly. A good agent will insure that doesn't happen to you.
  

• Will I save money if I just call the listing agent? NO! In fact, it could very well cost you money. Here's the example I use all the time. The seller has a team working for them, the listing agent/ firm. They're looking out for their client's best interests, NOT yours. You should have a team working for you. Hire a buyer's agent.

• Can a buyer's agent help me with new construction homes? Foreclosures? HUD homes? For Sale By Owners homes? YES! A licensed agent can help you with all of these type of homes. Remember, the on-site agent at a new construction home community represents the builder, NOT you. For the low, low cost of NOTHING, please have a buyer's agent help you with new construction homes or any of the others mentioned here.
