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.

Start by reading the newspaper classifieds in the regions and towns that you are considering. Let your wishes be known in the community. Sometimes the best leads come where you least expect them, especially in a small town. Not everyone is willing to sell on contract so it will help if you get pre-approved for a loan by your lender before you start looking. If you are at a loss as to where to begin, you may benefit from the services of a realtor.

Yeah and Paul D will get a referral fee from someone he doesn't even know!! Talk to friends or family or even co-wrokers that have used a realtor to buy or sell their home. The agent will not cost you a dime to help you find the home of your dreams!!!
