You might think that the Internet has replaced realtors.
After all, you can find everything, from the House to the Mortgage, online!
So - why should you pay for the services of a Realtor when you want to buy a House?
1. The Housing market is essentially local. Not only because every neighborhood has its own laws - but because you're buying a product that is so specific that there are many ways to go wrong.
2. Most people still sell their houses through an agent. That agent has their interest at heart - not yours. Which means, the higher you pay, the higher their percentage.
When you go through an exclusive buyer agent, you are avoiding that kind of conflict of interest.
3. A good realtor knows the market - and he knows lending. He might steer you to a network of trusted mortgage lenders… Which is very important in this economy, when you don't know if you can trust even the fine print which you usually don't understand!!
