You need someone to look after your best interests. There are many types of agents out there, that use different strategies and techniques, some that are advantageous to you, and some that aren’t.
When buying a property, there can be 1 or 2 agents involved in this transaction.
The first is the selling agent, the person who represents the seller. This person can also represent the buyer, however, it’s important to understand that their first and foremost priority is their seller. Therefore, you risk not getting the best price for the property, or possibly having certain details undisclosed to you based on the confidentiality that they must offer to their sellers.
The second agent is a buyer agent. A buyer agent only represents the interests, confidentiality and priorities of the buyer. A buyer agent can save you thousands of dollars through strategic negotiation, suggest clauses that protect your purchase, as well as offer you their expertise and market insight to ensure you’re paying a fair price.
