Megan,
You are so lucky to live in PA where you can hire your exclusive buyers agent, whose job is to work with you and protect your rights, for FREE. The Seller is responsible to compensate the realtors involved.
But why not go straight to the expert? I devote my day to knowing everything there is about real estate and deal with buyers, sellers, lenders, contractoal paperwork day in and day out- this is my career and how I make a living after all... There's no way an instructer or counselr sitting at a desk can give you up to date and current information like a productive agent on the field.
It would be like if you had to undergo a complicated medical procedure, would you go to a counsler or nurse or to the Doctor who specializes in your situation? Something to think about...
If you're ready to work with a professional- let me know. Would be happy to help.
