As a new home buyer, let me explain how this all works, incase you do not understand, as allot people do not.
If you just drive around and call an agent off of a sign from in front of a home with a For Sale Sign on it, that agent represents the Sellers and will be looking out for the Seller’s best interest.
A Buyer’s rep, will be looking out for YOUR best interest.
How do they get paid? – Good question that most people also do not understand.
No sale, no pay! They do not get paid by the Buyers, nor do they truly get paid by the Sellers. They get paid by what the Seller’s agent is willing to share with the Buyer’s Rep (Disclosed in the MLS) of what he or she is getting paid by the home’s owner.
Won’t using a Buyers Rep change the price we are going to pay? – The answer is NO and here’s why.
A Seller’s agent makes a deal with the Sellers to list, market and sell the home for a percentage, let say 6%. The Sellers are going to pay 6% no matter if a Buyer’s Agent is used or not. What it comes down to is, will the Seller’s agent keep all 6% by selling the home to a Buyer that has no representation, or keep only some of it by sharing it with a Buyer’s rep. Seller’s agents do this to get more people to look at the home and get it sold faster.

Find a trusted Realtor, then you pick a Mortgage Consultant who'll be looking out for your best interests. I know you hear that about realtors all the time, but you have to watch your money, and the mortgage is going to determine your best deal, and which home you can get into.
But buy now, cause prices & rates are still going up steadily.

Pay the extra money for an independent building inspection. The seller may not even be aware of problems.
The condo market has gone soft. You may be better able to deal than you could have a year ago.
Real estate people do not make money unless you buy. Use a great deal of caution when weighing their advice.
