Can I find a house on my own or do I need a buyer’s agent?
You most certainly can find a house on your own…right now in probably 30 minutes (despite lack of inventory). But a buyer’s agent is so much more than just helping you find a house. Quite honestly, you’ll probably find the property and bring it to your agent’s attention with how available everything is on the internet. A buyer’s agent is going to represent you, negotiate for you, explain terms of the contract for you, help with the next steps after inspection and mortgage commitment, get you in touch with reputable attorneys, mortgage companies, inspectors, and other vendors you may need. A buyer’s agent is going to be your project manager and make sure to be on your team through the whole transaction. A buyer’s agent, a good one at least, is going to make sure you aren’t taken advantage of and that the transaction goes smoothly and in your best interest.
