Choosing a Buyers Agent

When looking for a buyer’s agent ask yourself two important questions.

1. How experienced is the buyers agent? Will they be a strong negotiator on my behalf? Will they know what home hazards to look out for? Can they advise me on what homes to skip?

2. Will the buyers agent have time to show me what I want, when I want?

The biggest problem in the industry is answering, “yes,” to both of those questions. If you meet an experienced buyers agent, they don’t have enough time to help you tour and it is essential to see hot homes the moment they hit the market. If meet with an inexperienced buyers agent, they’ll have all the time in the world to show you homes, but honestly, you don’t want them negotiating a deal on your behalf.
