Differences between a Buyer’s Agent vs Real Estate Agent
In a nutshell, the difference is their client. A buyer's agent represents the buyer in a real estate transaction, focusing exclusively on the buyer's interests. They help by:
- Finding suitable properties.
- Providing market analysis.
- Negotiating purchase terms.
- And guiding the buyer through the closing process.
- List properties for sale.
- Market and advertise the property.
- Holds open houses.
- Negotiates with buyers on behalf of the seller.
Why do you need a Buyer’s Agent?
Property Discovery and Strategy Formulation:
- A buyer’s agent first understands the client's property needs, including location, size, and proximity to amenities like shops, transport, and schools. They suggest suitable neighborhoods, especially for first-time buyers or investors looking for capital growth or rental income.
- The agent searches for properties matching the client's criteria, providing a shortlist for review. They notify clients immediately of new suitable listings in competitive markets. For properties of interest, the agent conducts a detailed evaluation, including a market value assessment. They negotiate the purchase and assist with final steps like working with the conveyancer, conducting pre-settlement inspections, and connecting the client with a property manager. This process ensures a smooth and hassle-free buying experience.
