There's No Cost to Using a Buyer's Agent
Realtors are compensated by the seller. When a property is listed, the seller pays an agreed-upon percentage, which is then divided between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. If a buyer chooses not to use an agent, the seller's agent receives the entire commission. This means that not using a realtor as a buyer doesn't save the seller any money, nor does it save you anything either. Instead, it puts you at risk.
Just as you'd want a lawyer to defend your rights if you were arrested, you also need a representative to look out for your best interests in real estate. That's where a realtor comes in. They assist you in finding homes for sale that meet your needs and then represent your interests throughout the buying process.
This Could Be Changing
While it is currently true that a buyer's agent costs the buyer nothing directly, this may be changing. Recent court settlements are seeking to change the buyer's relationship with their agent. The goal of these settlements is to create a more transparent and easily understood engagement between buyers and their chosen realtor representatives. At Southern Bay, we fully support transparent client relationships and are looking forward to the continued changes to come through these settlement agreements. As things change, we will update our business practices and website information accordingly.
