Your potential buyers agent should have the proper knowledge or at least a mentor that can help walk you through the contract, their fees, and what is involved in the home buying process. 

Find a mentor who is experiencing doing deals.

I also have a close connection with an experienced developer and is willing to help mentor/guide me through looking at homes and answering my questions.

When I first started, I found it really challenging to connect with the right mentors and filter through the overwhelming amount of information out there.

I’m glad to hear you found the coaching program beneficial and the mentors an asset.  

Most likely when seasoned professionals started out, they were guided and mentored by people who were levels ahead of them.

THAT I think is the way the GREAT coaches/mentors do it!
