When you’re ready to buy a new home—or your first one!—you’ll need patience and an agent. Patience because the process can be confusing, houses get snapped up by other buyers, or approvals and inspections can take time. And an agent to guide you through the process. However, you don’t want just any real estate agent—you’ll want the best buyers agent available in Redding, CA!
Buyer’s agent? Is that different from a seller’s agent? And does it really matter?
What Is a Buyer’s Agent?
When someone puts their house on the market, they use a seller’s agent—or listing agent—and that agent represents the seller. When buying a home, you’ll want to team up with a buyer’s agent—they work on your behalf throughout the entire process.
A buyer’s agent has a serious responsibility—they are legally obligated to protect your interests. Their goal is the same as yours—to get the best deal possible on your new home. And help you avoid pitfalls along the way.
