January 6, 2012

Steps to take when looking for a real estate agent. Decide which steps to take.

Steps

3. A great place to meet agents is at open houses. Don’t worry that you are not interested in that particular property. The agent knows that open houses rarely produce a buyer for that home and use the open house as a tool to find buyers.

4. Another good method is ...

For years, house-hunters have had the option to work with a real-estate agent who shows them properties and may ultimately negotiate the price as a counterbalance to the agent who represents the seller. But, now, fewer buyers are taking that option.
Of the buyers who purchased a property through a real-estate agent, just 57% had buyer representation, according to a 2010 report by the Nation...
