Working with a Arizona Real Estate Agent
A good Arizona REALTOR® can show you more suitable
properties, offer valuable advice, and coach you through the entire
home buying process.
Do I Really Need To Use A Arizona REALTOR?
You can do your home search by yourself, but why
should you? With an experienced RE/MAX Desert Showcase agent at your side,
finding the perfect home is easier and faster!
You'll save time, yet many buyers still spend endless
hours pouring through classified ads, driving all over town, and
viewing dozens of unsuitable properties - simply because they
haven't connected with a Arizona REALTOR?.
Some people think that if they have several agents
looking for homes on their behalf, they'll find a house more
quickly. Like most relationships, the buyer-agent relationship
thrives on communication, loyalty and trust. By working exclusively
with one agent, you'll improve both the process and the results.
Will the Sales Price Be Lower if I DON'T Use a
Arizona REALTOR?
Using a buyer's agent has no effect on the sales
price or the seller's ability to negotiate more freely. The seller
pays the listing commission to the listing agent. This commission is
the same, whether there is a buyer's agent or not. The listing agent
either finds a qualified buyer on his own and keeps the entire
commission, or he/she cooperates with a buyer's agent and splits the
commission with that agent.
Approximately 95% of the time, listing agents
cooperate with buyer's agents, and that is also the main reason the
MLS or Multiple Listing Service works so well. The seller
is being represented and it only makes sense that you as the buyer
should be represented as well, at no cost to you!
Finding The Right Phoenix Arizona Agent For You
Chemistry is important, so are credentials. Above
all, you'll want an experienced agent who has the resources of a
leading real estate firm behind them-a firm such as RE/MAX Desert Showcase
