I'm looking at 10-40 unit apartment buildings in the Lansdale, PA area. Should I have a buyer's agent represent me? This will be my first deal. 

When I ask listing agents, they always say that it's not common for a buyer to have a buyer's agent in commercial deals. They say that usually a buyer will work with an attorney and any other 3rd party service they need during due diligence. 

I'm a little skeptical because I'm not sure if the listing agents are saying that so they don't need to share the commission. I want to be sure I don't make mistakes in negotiation and due diligence but I also want to make sure my offers are competitive and maybe having a buyer's agent makes my offers less competitive.

What is standard and what would you suggest?

Thanks a lot,

John

Thanks for the pointers!

Hi,

I am new to Bigger Pockets.

I own an E-commerce business and have seen very nice growth. I now want to invest some of my cash savings in real estate. I'm interested in small multifamily rentals. 

I live just north of Philadelphia in Warminster, PA and looking to begin investing in the Philadelphia area. I'm excited to learn more and get started!

Does anyone know of a good real estate agent in the Philadelphia area?
