Will You Save Money By NOT Using a Buyer’s Agent?
Posted in bend oregon real estate, home buyers, real estate agent, tagged Cheri Smith Bend Oregon, why use a buyer's agent, should i use a buyer's agent, home buyers bend oregon, buyer's agent bend oregon on January 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
If someone calls me directly about the house and they are not working with an agent, if they like the home enough to make an offer, I also become the buyer’s agent. It’s called dual agency. The seller is still going to pay the 6% commission but instead of splitting it between 2 agents, they pay me the entire 6%. So the seller is not saving any money, therefore there is no savings to pass on to you.
