Is it true that Buyers Agents work harder than Listing Agents? The Listing agent puts the property on the MLS and can get away with sitting around twirling their thumbs while buyers agents have a brunt of the work having to drive buyers around, orchestrate paperwork and inspection negotiate and so on.

no one drives buyers around anymore.. thats a thing of the way long ago past.

they will drive to the home to open it up for the buyer..

But a good buyers agent will have their buyer reeled in they wont just be led around by the nose ring..

Listing agents have to do all the paper work to list the property that takes a good hour or more according to my wife.. and as a top producer I can guarantee you she does not sit around twiddling her thumbs. Your earn it in this business and once you have some years in and your getting your business by referral like she does it does get easier at least on the marketing end she has not advertised in say 20 years all of her business just comes to her based on her quality of work with her clients. 2 years ago she was number one agent out of 600 HUNDRED agents and she does not have a team.. Its just her ..
