Why Hire a Buyer's Agent to Find Your Next Home?


When buying a home, what are the benefits of working with a buyer's agent? The benefits stretch far beyond what you'd get by simply calling the number of a 'for sale' sign at a house you're interested in.

In this week's edition of Mac Facts, we wanted to teach a little bit about buyer's agents and the benefits of hiring one when buying a home.

When looking for a home, many people will find one they like and just call the person listed on the 'for sale' sign. There's nothing wrong with that, but the person you're calling represents the seller and their best interests. They'd be happy to work with you, but their primary commitment is to the seller.

Buyer's agents work exclusively with the buyer. On our team, buyer's agents get to know you and what you want in your next home. We build a relationship so you're comfortable with us both professionally and as someone you'll spend a lot of time with.

A buyer's agent will be very knowledgeable about the homes in your desired area and they're generally always available to you. If there's a home you have a question about or would like to see in person, you can always call the buyer's agent.

Working with a buyer's agent is a true partnership.

They will also pull comparable home sales for buyers so they can be sure the value of the home you're looking to buy matches what they want it to be. It's all about working in partnership with a buyer to help them find exactly what they want and negotiate the best possible deal to benefit everyone.

From there, a buyer's agent will work with you in tandem to get through inspections, appraisals, loan underwriting, and getting you through to the closing table so we can get you the home you love.

If you have any other questions about buyer's agent or you're thinking about buying a home in the Lansing market, don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We'd be happy to help however we can.
