Philly first time investor - New Western

[Othman Zizi]

Hi,

I’m looking to invest for the first time in the US (Philly) as a real estate investor. Got a lot of experience abroad but none in the US.

I got contacted by an agent at New Western, but

1. Seems that they represent the seller

2. reading the reviews seems that they are not always very honest.

Should I get a buyers agent in that case? What is the typical cost and who pays the fees?

Thanks
