I'm wondering what form of arrangement I will have with the agent.  For example, will the agent present my offers or can I do that myself?</description><language>en-us</language><item><title>Answer by Akil Walker</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Bowie_MD-1237763/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Bowie_MD-1237763/</guid><description>if you sign an agreement with agent they will be representing you and your interest. You can ask the agent to present when the offer(s) is submitted if you desire. An agent should explain agency dual, buyer, seller etc to you during initial meeting.&#13;

&#13;
Sellers pay for the commission on the sale, usually between 2.5% and 3% of the sales price.&#13;

&#13;
As a buyer without and agent, count on the fact that you DO NOT have representation.......&#13;
&#13;
It is not recommendat to venture into the arena of real estate without some type of representation.....either through your own real estate professional or an attorney.&#13;
&#13;
Those that decide to "go solo" often regret it....................</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:53:07 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Alan May</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Evanston_IL-120948/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Evanston_IL-120948/</guid><description>that's something to discuss with your buyer agent.  I have had buyers request to present their own offers, but mostly buyers like for the agents to do it.&#13;
&#13;
but discuss that in advance with your buyer agent (yes, co-operating agent).  I'm sure they'll be happy to include you in the process.  It is, after all, your purchase.</description><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:42:39 -0800</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
