Margaret Rodgers answered:
The list agent represents the seller heshe has the interest of the seller the buyers agent represents the buyer and should have the best interest of that buyer , Buyers agents should explain this when they get the representation agreement signed before they let the buyer in their car or show any home to the buyer ,this is why the buyer should use a buyers agent Anything said like I do not know for sure I can get the loan or I really like this house this is the one I want can hurt you when you are negotiating an offer ,The seller will expect His or her agent to repeat what was said by the buyer . Buyers agents can not tell them anything the buyer does not want them to say. Buyers agents get paid to ask and answer Buyers questions and to show the home ,write the offer etc. As to marketing a home Realtors spend about 1 to 2 % of the sales price on marketing and is paid nothing if the home does not sell all money is out of that agents pocket The list agent does not get to keep all the money either it is split with the list agents broker buyers agent and their broker. Realtor.com is not a free site it is a costly site based on how many listings that agent had last year ,Real Estate magazines are about $250 -$400 per page per month newspaper ads are about $200 per month open house ads are $125.00 per ad lock boxes are $99.00 each .

make sure the seller has completed all the required documents to be sent in with the offer ,if all those are not completed the offer sits in a file with no yes or no answer it goes no where - Wed Mar 5 2008, 17:10
Margaret Rodgers answered:
Pretty much the same things as if you were getting a loan ,the home inspection,appraisal,property disclosures,the title report,the title company , you can always hire a Realtor to represent your interests the agent that represents the seller does just that ,they work for the seller anything you say goes back to the seller not limited to anything if you say you are paying cash they will know that and it can limit the amount they may be willing to reduce the price by . Most buyers think paying cash will get more buying power,most sellers see deep pockets. - Wed Feb 20 2008, 10:27
