The benefits of working with a buyer agent

A buyer agent can be a tremendous asset as you go about the process of buying a new home, especially in the current market where short sales, foreclosures and changing prices are the norm.

A buyer agent represents you (the client) throughout the entire negotiation process. That means your buyer agent can recommend negotiation strategies and an offer price based on his knowledge of the market and the listed property. Your buyer agent works to advance your interests and obtain the best terms for you - because you are his client.

Keep in mind that when you work with the listing agent to write an offer, the listing agent works for her client, the seller. The listing agent is the seller's advisor, not yours.
