Real Estate Agents

Step 4: Real Estate Agents

Love them or hate them. The agent you select will determine how successful your home buying process is. Interview several agents and let them know that you are doing just that. Agents should be willing to earn your business by providing a detailed portfolio, sales figures, and references. 
 
 
When purchasing a home, I also only work with a buyers agent. A buyers agent is contracted to work on behalf of a buyer. This includes working to get you the best price possible for the home you are offering on. Without a buyers agent contract, by default in the United States, an agent is working on behalf of the seller to get them the best price for their house.
