How a Buyer's Agent Works

 Why are buyers agents services free?

Buyers agents are paid by the contracted Multi Listing Service (MLS) a preset amount. The fee paid by the seller is basically like an advertising fee for using the MLS and having 3000+ Real Estate Agents work to sell the home or property.

Is there any Cost to use a Buyers Agent ?

No cost will be be added in anyway for using a Real Estate agent to purchase a home.

What are the Benefits of Using a Buyer Agent?

- Buyers agents should know about first time buyers programs that in FL can provide funding help if needed.

- Buyers agents can work to get all or part of your closing cost paid by the seller.

- Buyers agents are familiar with the local area and market prices and can provide valuable advise in negotiating your cost down.

- Buyers agents can show you any home listed by any company. Buyers agents have access to all homes on MLS in Brevard County and can help make sure you know about all your home choices prior to purchase.

- Buyers agents will provide you reports of what homes have sold in the area and what homes are  currently listed so you'll know you are not over paying for a property.

- Buyers agents have access to a disclosure which is a list of any known defects on the property.

- Buyers agents can recommend professional home inspectors to inspect the home for all types of defects, pest and safety issues.

- Buyers agents can usually negotiate a free home warranty on nearly any home, even very old homes.

- Buyers agents coordinate your closing issues such as insurance, title co., home inspections, survey, Title insurance, funding coordination and other issues that are needed to successfully close on a home.

Other Awareness for Buyers

You should always only call the agent you are working with, they will check out the property for you and make the appropriate arrangements. Never use more than one Real Estate agent per transaction. Not only will this cause the agents problems it can result in legal issues.

Real Estate Agents have been around for over 100 years, if this was not a useful and valuable service or if it cost the buyer anything extra the service would not have lasted; most people use Real Estate agents, it's a wise decision.
