Strategies for Buyers - April 1998
The last thing you want to do is walk into an open house
and start blabbing how much you can afford to the agent who has listed the house. That
agent owes his or her allegiance to the seller--and only the seller. If you're negotiating
with a pro, you ought to have a pro in your corner, too. Get an advocate on your
side. It's commonplace now for buyers to sign up their own agents to represent their
interests in a deal. Look for a buyer's broker who will represent you--and only you.
Finding the right house usually means first finding a good real
estate agent. That's the focus of Buyer Beware! Author Carla Cross candidly reveals many
secrets of the business to help buyers avoid being buffaloed by lazy, incompetent, or
unethical practitioners. That may happen surprisingly often; one-third of all homebuyers
say they would not use their agents again, according to an industry survey. Cross
tells how best to screen and choose an agent, and advises buyers to hire their own agent,
or Buyer Beware!
