CHAPTER 1 How Real Estate Agents Help Home Buyers
I’ll come right out at the start and tell you I am not only real estate agent, but an expert in the business side of buying a home— proudly so! Nice to meet you! I’m not trying to sell you anything, but I’m pleased to be of service. In fact, generally, real estate agents for buyers are paid for out of the listing agent’s commission. So, I’m not looking to part you from your money. Instead, I’m giving you the benefits of experience and advice I have gleaned throughout my career selling houses and being in real estate transactions — for both sellers and buyers. If you want me to help you find a house, we can talk. Call me if you need me. Technology has changed the way homes are sought and bought today. In this “Information Era,” most buyers are first introduced to the home they eventually purchase via the internet, through Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo! Homes, Realtor.com, Redfin or one of hundreds of other real estate websites. Currently Zillow has lost market share by over 9% and stopped buying homes, stopping at 3,800. So that means there’s no real need for a buyer’s real estate agent, right? The reason to use a real estate agent is to find a home and show homes available for sale, right?
