Types of Agents
There are basically 4 types of Professional Agents that can
assist you with your new home purchase. Buyers Agents, Sellers
Agents, Relocation Specialists, and those that do it all.
Buyers Agents-Buyers agents work exclusively with
buyers purchasing homes. Without the added stresses and time
commitments of listing agents, these professionals devote all
of their time to getting the best for their clients, the buyer.
Statistically exclusive buyer agents pay less for homes because
they are negotiating against the selling agent.
Sellers Agents- Exclusive Sellers
Agents only list property. This is the professional whose job
it is to sell your home and sell it fast. They usually work
with a handful of advertising companies to show your house in
print and on the web. These professionals are specialists at
selling homes.
Relocations Specialists-Buyers agents
with a twist for out of town moves. This is the Professional
whose job it is to relocate your group or family as smoothly
as possible. Just a few examples of what these people do.
- 1. Arrange Trip/Hotels/Rental Car for House Hunting
- 2. Provide heaps of Local Information.
- 3. Find Employment for a spouse.
These folks are the real saints of the business. They make the
daunting task of moving as smooth as possible.
Full Service Realtors- Full Service
Realtors are Buyers Agents, Sellers Agents, and Relocations
Specialists. For obvious reasons a conflict of interest can
arise if your Buyers Agent is also someone else's Sellers Agent.
Be wary of your interests and the interests of your Agent. |
