Today I want to share two ways buyers can benefit from hiring a highly-skilled, talented, and experienced local real estate professional through a buyer’s agency contract.

1. Most agents at open houses are listing agents that represent the seller. Those agents have a fiduciary obligation to the seller to get them the highest and best price. They are not obligated to represent the buyer’s best interests one bit.

A seller’s agent isn’t obligated to look out for buyers at all.

2. A buyer’s agent can take the time to educate the buyer. When you’re looking for a home, there are variables that are constantly changing, including prices, interest rates, and overall market conditions. A buyer’s agent can work with you for a period of one to three months to help you become educated as to what the correct values are and what the pitfalls may be when buying a home.

If you have any questions about buyer agency contracts or want to learn more about the real estate market in general, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
