A Great Agent is Worth Every Penny
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.
