Misconception #3: “Buying a property without utilizing the services of a real estate agent will likely save me a lot of money…” Fact: While it is conceivable that a Buyer who purchased a property without any agent being involved could reach a mutually beneficial conclusion to a transaction and in the process save money more often than not any potential savings would come at the expense of missed opportunities, increased liabilities and one’s own time lost. Buying or selling a property these days is a very involved and complicated process and should not be taken lightly. Additionally, Buyer’s agents fees are almost always paid by the Seller and are figured into the overall sales transaction from the outset so there is no disadvantage utilizing an agent (only for choosing the wrong agent). A good real estate agent knows the market and the transaction process and can not only help smooth the path, but quicken the process – taking care of all of the necessary paperwork as the transaction proceeds. A great real estate agent is hard to come by, but can make the whole process almost seem easy – from explaining and preparing one for each step, to anticipating and dealing with problems, to helping one watch for liability pitfalls, to helping maximize a client’s dollar. A super real estate agent will earn their company’s fee and a client’s respect by providing a tremendous and worthwhile service.
