Finding the Right Home from the Right Agent

Finding a good property is not an easy task to do. Having the right agent to assist you and help you with the transaction is a smart choice but there are many agents out there; both good and bad. Here are some things that you should know to help you choose the right agent, who can find you the best property.

Real Estate Agents vs. Exclusive Buyer’s Agents

If your friends or neighbours have recommended good agents to you already, hang on a minute and read this. An agent will work with you over the period until the transaction is finished, so you have to make sure that you really know them before making a decision.

Firstly, you have to know whether your agent is a real estate agent or an exclusive buyer’s agent. These two are different.

A real estate agent usually works for a company and represents both sides; the property owner and you. They will show ‘listings’ or properties under their company first and then show others. They are more likely to represent property sellers than you.

An Exclusive Buyer’s Agent also works for a company but they do not represent property sellers. This type of agent is focused more on you. The agent will look for properties that suit your needs because they do not have to sell for a particular seller. Properties from this type of agent will be more from property owners than companies.

What to Consider?

After you know which kind of agent you have to look for, the next step is looking at what things you should take into consideration before making a decision. Here is a checklist of what you should watch out for.
