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. |
