5 Questions To Consider When #Buying a #Home.....

There a so many things to consider when purchasing a home.  Whether you are buying your first home, or your fifth home, you should always have someone working for you and representing your best interests.  So many times I come in contact with buyers, and sellers, who don't think they need representation.  Not having representation in a real estate transaction is like not having legal representation when going to court.  I don't know about you, but I'm no attorney, however, I AM a Realtor.  And the best part?  A buyer's agent is compensated by the seller's agent, so there is no out-of-pocket expense to the buyer for having representation.

Also, as a buyer, when you call an agent off of a yard sign, remember you are calling the agent that represents the seller, and in some states, that allow "Dual Agency", if the seller's agent signs the buyer, they represent both parties, buyer and seller.  My state allows Dual Agency, and in this situation, the agent has to basically remove themselves from representing either party, and they facilitate the transaction, and become the middle man.  Now, let's be realistic, who does the agent really represent?  Their own Pockets!!  Whole is better than half.
