• They help you see houses for what they really are. Buyers agents see the clues in every house that reveal the future problems and future potential in every building.
• They help you negotiate the best deal. Homes that are under priced go quickly and unless you act quickly, you will miss them. Houses that are overpriced can be great deal if you know how to take advantage of seller exhaustion. A buyer's agent will advise you how to make an offer that gets the home you love at the best possible price.
• Buyer's agents know community resources. Every good buyer's agent knows painters, carpenters, electricians, movers, cleaners and other people you need as part of your "moving in" team. Without a buyer's agent, you must find reliable people, costing you time and stress.
