So, you're thinking about buying a new home! The first place to start
is by looking for a professional to help you. An experienced real
estate agent will "bind" together the entire process. The right pro
will help you find the right property and keep things on track from
shopping to closing.
Here are some key questions to ask the agents you are interviewing:
- Do you represent the buyer or the seller?
- What are your fees and who pays them?
- How much time will you have to help me look for a new home? What tasks will you perform for me as my representative?
- How often will you communicate with me, and how can I reach you?
- Will you refer me to some buyers you have represented recently?
- Do
you have access to the area multiple listing service, foreclosed
listings and other sources of information about available houses?
- Will you show me all the available houses in my price range, even if they are listed by another company?
- Will you give me a comparative price analysis for any homes I am considering?
