A Great Agent is Worth Every Penny

[Brian J Allen]

Check out this excellent article from Banker and Tradesman, "You Rarely Know All Your Agent Does". While it mostly focuses on listing agents, the same holds true for buyer's agents.

You only know some of what your agent does. The article does a fantastic job of highlighting things that often go overlooked by sellers. I wish there was something similar for the buyer-agent side.

With the upcoming NAR settlement, buyer's agents must negotiate their commissions. Hopefully, buyer's agents who invest time in viewings and analysis will be appreciated by their clients.

Buyers often overlook many aspects of the process, focusing only on what they consider important. They miss out on crucial elements. Personally, since 2018, I've viewed over 2700 properties for clients. I believe I have a lot to offer a buyer client with their search.

Wish I could give you 100 votes....I do everything I can to give my clients all the info they deserve and make it all look easy.   Sometimes I think I make it look too easy and smooth and they have no idea that it has taken. 25 years or more to get this good.  All my vetted vendors make the process smooth.   Just like a debate or presentation I may spend hours preparing to send 1-2 with the client.   They never or rarely see that.   As you mention I have been in 1000s of homes and a rare day when I hit a street or neighborhood I've never been in.  Many times I have been in the home they choose 3-4 times for previous sales years ago, so can tell them all about updates, etc.

I think many people are getting ready to have a rude awakening in the coming year or two and when people get burned with no representation or loose a lot of money.
