Buying a house is a very exciting time and one that buyers should prepare for. Whether it’s preparing to get a mortgage or shopping for houses, a buyers agent will guide you and help you avoid making any mistakes that could cause many future headaches.
Most houses that are being sold will have an agent representing the seller, which is frequently referred to as a listing agent or sellers agent. The listing agents main responsibility is to make sure the sellers best interests are being protected. Therefore, you will want an agent to represent you, and be looking out for YOUR best interests.
Working with an knowledgable agent will give you the upper hand in negotiations and increase your chances of getting your offer accepted in a sellers market where inventory is low and demand is high.
