How to Hire A Real Estate Agent For Free Buying a House 101

I want to talk today about why hiring a real estate agent is an absolute bargain when you’re buying a home.

The first reason is, I don’t know if you know this, especially if you’re a first-time home buyer, but the seller actually pays for the real estate agent. The commission for both your real estate agent and their real estate agent comes out of the proceeds from the sale of their home. So the seller pays for your real estate agent. So you technically don’t pay anything for a real estate agent. So that’s the first reason.

The second reason is that a skilled and quality real estate agent can help you to identify the best property for you. They can help you find that ideal property. And the best of the best, they have leads on listings before they come on the market. They might know about houses that have just come on the market, so that day you can get out there and look at that house and make an offer before anybody else. So a good real estate agent, they have connections to enable you to find the best possible house and to find it at the right time. So that’s another reason to use a skilled real estate agent.

And the third reason to use a skilled real estate agent is that they are a valuable resource to you. Just like your lender on the lending side, they are a valuable resource to you to answer your questions and to help guide you through the process. This is so critical, especially if you’re a first-time home buyer, but if you haven’t bought a home for a while, there are a lot of questions that come up. And to not handle things in a professional manner, it can end up costing you a lot of money, like inspection items, surveys, sewer, wells, like if you have well water.

Anything unusual about the property and navigating these types of different things and negotiating with the seller and the seller’s agent, that is something that a skilled real estate agent can help you with and actually save you a ton of money and a ton of headaches if you close on the home. If you were to close on the home and not think about these things ahead of time, not only can it cost you a lot of money, but it can be extremely painful on the pain and suffering side of things, because you didn’t handle it in the right way, and it could come back to bite you later.

So these are reasons to use a skilled and professional real estate agent. Now, if you do not have a real estate agent right now or if you’re doubting your real estate or you’re not quite sure if they’re the right fit for you, just call me. I have a lot of excellent connections with top notch real estate agents all along the front range in Colorado in general. So I can help hook you up with someone that’s really, really good and can help represent you in a professional manner.
