Advantages of Working with a Realtor

If you are looking to buy a home, you want all the help you can get. That's why it's important to work with a Realtor. For buyers, there are a number of advantages of working with a real estate agent and virtually no disadvantages 

No cost

It is customary for home sellers to pay commissions for both their seller's agent and the buyer's agent, which means it doesn't cost a buyer anything to work with a Realtor. That's a huge advantage, because you are getting professional advice and expertise for free.

No contract

Unlike sellers, who sign an exclusive contract, most real estate agents do not require buyers to sign anything. That means that if you are unhappy with your Realtor or you change your mind about buying a home, you have no contractual obligation to continue. That gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility and reduces the risk if you decide to test the waters of the home market.

Access to properties

One of the biggest advantages to working with a real estate agent is that person's access to properties. Though you usually can find most properties for sale in your area through a publicly available website, real estate agents often have inside information on properties that are being sold privately or that have not yet officially hit the market. That can help you find the best homes available.

Expertise

One of the big reasons to hire a real estate agent is to utilize that person's expertise. An agent can help you with negotiations over price as well as navigating through the closing process. Agents also have connections that can help you find mortgage lenders, contractors to do renovations and a number of other professionals whose services you might need when you are in the process of buying a home.
