Many real estate buyers mistakenly feel that they are better able to negotiate a real estate purchase going solo without the help of a real estate agent. Most of the time, however, this just is not at all true. In reality, the opposite is the case. Most home buyers who have tried it regret it. Studies illustrate that contracting wtih a buyers agent can pay “dividends” when it comes to your Portland real estate transaction.
It’s a bonus, of course, that you don’t pay the commissions up front — her fee comes from the seller’s side of the transaction and was no doubt calculated into the asking price of the house. But the biggest benefit is that you can save significant money on the bottom line when the transaction is finalized.
Hiring an experienced professional on your team when you’re entering into a contract where a lot of money changes hands is simply good idea on its own merit. But add to that the potential bettering of your bank account as a result of the experience a real estate agent can bring to the table and it should be an easy decision. There are far too many ways to loose money on a deal not to have someone who negotiates Portland real estate purchases day in and day out to keep the information (and signatures) flowing smoothly.
