Frequently Asked Questions
Can a real estate agent help me find homes that aren’t listed online?
Yes! Agents often have access to exclusive listings, including homes not yet listed on public websites, which are sometimes referred to as “off-market” or “pocket” listings.
How does an agent help with negotiations?
Your agent negotiates on your behalf to get the best possible price and terms, using market data and experience to make your offer stand out… especially in competitive markets.
Why is local market knowledge important?
An agent who knows the local market can help you choose the right neighbourhood, evaluate pricing trends, and avoid overpaying for a home. They’ll also be familiar with school districts, commute times, and community amenities… to name a few.
Can my agent help me understand if a home is priced fairly?
Yes. Agents use comparative market analyses (CMAs) and local sales data to help you determine whether a home is fairly priced or a good investment.
Do agents have connections to other professionals I might need?
Absolutely. Most agents have a network of trusted contacts, including mortgage lenders, inspectors, appraisers, contractors, and real estate attorneys.
Can an agent help with legal paperwork?
Yes. Your agent will help you navigate all contracts and disclosures, ensuring everything is completed accurately and on time, and that your legal interests are protected.
Will my agent give me unbiased advice?
A good agent provides objective, professional advice, especially when emotions might cloud your judgment. They’ll help you stay focused on your goals and budget.
How much does it cost to use a buyer’s agent?
In most cases, the seller pays the commission for both the listing and buyer’s agents, so you get expert representation at no direct cost to you.
What’s the biggest advantage of working with an agent?
Peace of mind. With a trusted agent by your side, you can navigate the homebuying journey with confidence, clarity, and less stress.
