Many prospective home buyers want to know why they should hire an agent when buying a home, the simple answer is hiring a Buyer's Agent protects your interests in the transaction. Many buyers think they'll get a better deal by calling the "agent on the sign" (Listing Agent). Unknown to many buyers, the Listing Agent represents the owner and have a fiduciary responsibility to the owner. Conceivably, listing agents duty is put their client's (the owner) interest first. For this reason, home buyers should secure a professional relationship with a buyers agent that will represent the home buyer's interests. Hiring an agent to work exclusively for you garners home buyers many benefits in the overall home buying process. Often a buyer's agent can recommend, advise, and counsel home buyers on contractual proceedings, home inspections and repairs, financing options, community information, school data and much more.
Word to the wise: Hire an agent that puts your interests first.
