What is a Buyer's Agent?
A Buyer's Agent is an individual who represents you throughout the home buying process and always has your best interests in mind.

How much does it cost to have a Buyer's Agent?
If you purchase a home, the Buyer's Agent receives a percentage of the Listing Agent's commission. Some local companies may charge an administration fee of up to $200 for a buyer's agent to represent you. At Edward Surovell Realtors, there is no cost to a buyer for agent representation.

Why don't I just call the agent who has the property listed?
In most cases, the agent who has the property listed represents the seller, and has the seller's best interests in mind. If you want someone who will represent you during the transaction, it is best to get a Buyer's Agent.

What can a Buyer's Agent do for me?
A Buyer's Agent can:

• Help you determine your specific needs and educate you about the home buying process
• Search for properties that suit your needs and show you those properties, even if they are listed by another company
• Point out strengths and weaknesses of properties
• Help you find qualified inspectors, mortgage lenders and other resources
• Provide a market analysis that will help you determine fair market value
• Assist you through the negotiation process
• Help you write a sales agreement when you are ready to make an offer
• Schedule appointments to provide access to the property for appraisers and inspectors
• Monitor the post-contract, pre-closing process, to assure that all necessary documentation is completed and available for closing
• Attend the closing and help with any issues that may arise
