In the ever-complicated realm of home buying, there is more than just one type of professional that can help you buy homes in Indiana for sale. Wait a second - dont you always use a Realtor to buy a house? Most people do not know the difference between a Listing Agent and a Buyers Agent. Further, almost nobody has ever heard of an Exclusive Buyers Agent. So what is the difference between a Listing Agent and a Buyers Agent? Absolutely nothing! Well, nothing in terms of who they are as people...
Any Realtor may be a Listing Agent (the one who lists the property for sale) or a Buyers Agent (the one who shows buyers homes in Indiana for sale). The only difference is who they are representing in the home purchase. An interesting fact is that sometimes, the same Realtor can take both sides (called a limited agent), but that is a little too much for this article. Lets explore the role of the Listing Agent. The Listing Agent is actually legally responsible for maintaining loyalty to the sellers needs. He/she has to keep all personal information about the seller to themselves and represent only public or material information, without personal opinion. This means they will only provide facts that support the sellers listing price that could cost the buyer thousands of dollars. Dont get me wrong, Listing Agents are not bad people. They can have a great depth of inventory of homes in Indiana for sale that can fit your needs, but their negotiations may cost you a few thousand dollars more because of their legal obligations to the seller. On the other hand, the Buyers Agent is under contract to work just for you, the buyer. So what does this mean?
The Buyers Agent is actually going to help the buyer analyze and select many factors that will affect the price of homes in Indiana for sale: neighborhood schools, driving distances, a closing attorney, etc. He/she will do this by providing all of the necessary information and withholding none of their true opinions. The main function a Buyers Agent will do is to negotiate on behalf of the buyer. They have nothing in mind, but to find the homes in Indiana for sale you want and to negotiate a price that fits your budget, otherwise they wont get paid. A Buyers Agent will help you evaluate and choose the correct loan package which can save you 10s of thousands of dollars by getting it right. They can deliver any offer you choose, no matter how crazy to the sellers and will help you with all the closing procedures, so you dont end up spending thousands of dollars on fees that you dont need to pay!
Finding the right Buyers Agent is definitely the next step you need to take if you havent already. We, Inspire Real Estate, would love to assist you in the purchase of your next home, especially if you are looking to buy
