buyers agent

[Jonathan Plair]

Should I use a buyers agent for purchasing properties such as homepath, MLS etc...and should I use the same agent to sale my properties...or use a sellers agent?

Also I believe I read on the Internet that a buyers agent would be of no cost to me...so does that mean if I purchase a property that agent doesn't receive a commission from me?

try to find one who is actively engaged in the investment market, if that is the route you choose to go. Most residential Realtors focus on owner occupied dwellings. They could not help you with parameters of investment strategy and have little clue on how to determine whether a property is a good investment or not.

This site is a great place to start...see if there is a Realtor in your area that deals extensively with investment properties. If they decide to assist you, an experienced Realtor who focuses on investment properties can be an enormous assistance.
