Most clients are not aware of the difference between a buyers Agent and a sellers agent. The traditional sellers agent represents the seller and specializes in listing properties. The sellers agent signs a contract or listing agreement and has the responsibility to get the seller the most money possible for the property. If you, as a buyer, call the phone number on a listing sign and ask to see the property, there are a few things you should be aware of. First of all, if you meet the listing agent by yourself at the property, you should know that this agent represents the seller, not you. It is legal for the agent to work with you directly but they must disclose to you that they have a conflict of interest and it must be in writing. A lot of people are not aware of the relationship between the sellers agent and the property owner. Most of the experienced professional sellers agent will recommend that buyers find representation in the form of a buyers agent. Most buyers agent do not charge a fee to their client and get their compensation from the seller at the close of escrow. The only thing they expect from the client is their loyalty. If you are ready to start your journey for that perfect home that you have dreamed about, you owe it to yourself to find a good buyers agent. Probably the most important thing you should look for is someone who communicates well with you. You really do need help in your search and especially when you find the home you want and need to write an offer. Unless you are experienced in writing real estate contracts, you would be at a big disadvantage. Can you imagine finding the right home after several months of looking, only to lose it because your offer is unrealistic or incomplete. Do yourself a favor; find a buyers agent as soon as possible.
