A real estate buyer’s agent represents the person who is purchasing property in any real estate transaction. The buyer’s agent spends time evaluating the estate buyer’s requirements and preferences and has the buyer’s best interests in mind right through the entire process. One of the defining characteristics of real estate buyer’s agents is that they are not sellers of real estate and not in any way connected to real estate sellers or developers.

The buyer can expect his chosen agent to provide an all inclusive-service, right from finding the most suitable property and determining its accurate market value to negotiating the best possible terms, conditions and buying price.

Some of the services provided by a real estate buyer’s agent include:

• Locating appropriate properties after having evaluated and determined the specific needs and wants of the buyer.
• Providing assistance in viewing properties which includes previewing the properties on the buyer’s behalf and accompanying the buyer upon identifying appropriate properties.
• Conducting a thorough research into the background of the short-listed properties in order to identify any existing inherent problems.
• Advising the buyer on the different payment options available and presenting the offer to the seller on the buyer’s behalf.
• Negotiating with the seller in order to get the best deal for the buyer.
• Providing assistance with obtaining the optimum financing for the property.
• Recommending qualified service providers that the buyer may require such as carpenters, plumbers and movers.

Studies have shown that when prospective buyers used the assistance of a real estate buyer, they are likely to find an
appropriate property at least one week faster than those who didn’t. What’s more they got to evaluate and compare far more properties too, increasing their chances of finding one that was perfect for their needs.
