You Should Always Have Someone On Your Side. Always.
It’s a universal truth. At work and at play. Among your family and your friends. In life, in general. And certainly when making the decision to invest in a home.
You’re undoubtedly familiar with the scene: a perfectly staged open house, complete with universally appealing décor, well-researched aromatherapy (that citrus-pine blend is no accident), freshly baked treats – and a warm, friendly real estate agent who can’t wait to exchange contact info.
That agent doesn’t work for you.* That agent is employed by your opponent – the seller.
Yes, “opponent.” A home purchase is an intensive negotiation even if it’s not adversarial, and you deserve equal representation. So no matter how much you might like the seller’s agent (or the seller themselves)…
Here are just a few reasons to work with a buyer agent:
- IT’S FREE. Unless you make other arrangements, only the seller pays sales commissions.
- There’s no conflict of interest – in this transaction, your buyer agent represents YOU.
- Finding the right home, price, and terms might seem easy, but your buyer agent will advise you on the nuances of when to give a little in order to save a lot.
- You’ll get the benefit of your agent’s hand-selected, trusted service providers – inspectors, lenders, home warranty companies, and more. They, too, are on your side, not the seller’s.
- It bears repeating: IT’S FREE, and it’s for YOU.
So while it may be tempting to “keep things simple,” buying a home shouldn’t be done the easy way. It should be done the right way.
And because working with a buyer agent doesn’t cost you a thing, you’ve got nothing to lose by getting in touch with me.

*There’s nothing inherently wrong with being represented by the seller’s agent (also known as dual agency), and in some cases it can actually work in your favor. If you’d like to know more about this type of arrangement, I’d be happy to talk with you about it.
