How Does Realtor Benefits to the Buyer? |
|
There are many obvious benefits to the buyer of using a realtor. One of
the main benefits is that the realtor can act as an intermediary between
you and the listing broker. The listing broker will probably not know you
and therefore cannot exert any influence on you, or make an assessment of
you that could compromise your negotiating position is an important
strategic tactic that will benefit you.
Another advantage to a buyer is the opportunity for the realtor to
access the MLS computer which can provide instant, thorough, and accurate
information on properties that might interest you. Without an agent
searching for you, you seriously minimize your range of selection and the
prospect of concluding the deal at a price that is attractive to you.
