BUYER'S AGENT VS SELLER'S AGENT
In today's market, hiring the right agent is the single most important thing you can do, regardless of whether you are buying or selling. An experienced agent can help guide you throughout the process, alleviating any stress that can go hand in hand with buying or selling your most expensive asset.
Here's how an agent makes the process easy, enjoyable, and as simple as possible.
BUYER'S AGENT:
- An adviser and advocate during the entire home buying process
- Educates you on current market conditions
- Uncovers your needs and wants, as well as motivations to purchase a home
- Provides guidance with getting pre-approved and recommends mortgage lenders
- Gathers, presents, and shows you listings that meet your criteria
