Do Most Real Estate Buyers Use a Buyer's Agent?

Agent Quality Varies Substantially


Here are the top reasons to hire a buyer's agent:

  • 1 of Biggest Decisions of Your Life

  • Reduce Risk of Buyer's Remorse

  • Inspectors & Appraisers Alone are Inadequate Guidance

  • Typically No Out-of-Pocket Costs for Buyers

  • Too Many Variables to Consider Alone for Such an Important Decision

  • Listing Agent "Puffing" & Disclosure Requirements

  • Discounts for Not Using One Aren't Guaranteed, & Risks Drastically Increase vs a Great Buyer's Agent

  • Helping Buyers Win on the Home They Want Without Overpaying

  • Helping Buyers Save Money

  • Using an Agent is Recommended by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
