Use a Buyer's Agent
It's important that you choose an
experienced agent who is there for you. Your agent should be actively
finding you potential homes, keeping you informed of the entire process,
negotiating furiously on your behalf, and answering all of your questions
with competence and speed.
First, find an agent who represents you and not the seller. This is
beneficial during the negotiation process. If you are working with a buyer's
agent, he or she is required not to tell the seller of your top choice. In
addition, he or she is also focused on getting you the lowest asking price.
Also, when you use a buyer's agent, you will see more properties. Not only
are they plugged into their Multiple Listing Service, but also they are
actively finding homes that are listed as FSBO, or homes that sellers are
thinking about listing. |
