Why Having a Real Estate Agent Represent You Matters
Having a Real Estate Agent can prove to be very valuable throughout your homebuying journey, as there are many things they do for you.
You may be ready to start your home buying journey on your own, but think twice before doing so. Choosing a fantastic Real Estate Agent and getting them involved as soon as possible will save you legwork, headache and money in finding your next home. As a buyer, in most states the seller is paying for the services of the Buyer's Agent as part of their closing costs, so you can benefit from having expert representation without having to pay for it.
Most states now require you to sign a Buyer Agency Representation Agreement (which establishes the Agent you have selected) before a Real Estate Agent can even show you a home per new laws passed recently, so if you want to see homes for sale you will have to choose an Agent.
