What is a buyer’s agent?
When buying a new home or investment property, you’re making one of the largest purchases of your life. That’s why it’s crucial to understand how the real estate process works.
They ensure you’re fully informed and don’t overpay.
Buyer’s agents can offer full or partial services, including:
- Negotiating the purchase price and terms

Why use a buyer’s agent?

- Save time by having someone search and analyze properties for you
- Negotiate the best price and terms
