How do you know if the agent you are working with is working for you?

When you decide to purchase a home in the Atlanta area, there are always two agency relationships involved: Seller's Agency and Buyer's Agency. The person whose name is on the sign in the yard is the seller's agent and represents the interests of the seller. This person's job is to take as much of the buyers money as they can and give it to the seller.

If you buy that home without hiring someone to represent your interests as the buyer, you are potentially doing yourself a great disservice. In Georgia, if you have not signed an exclusive buyer's agency contract, no one is working for you, only with you. When you hire a buyer's agent it is his job to keep as much money in the buyer's pocket as possible and try to get the buyer the best deal possible.  

The seller has already offered to pay the sales commissions for both the seller's agent AND a buyer's agent - so as a buyer, you can hire your own agent to represent your interests for free! With all that's at risk, you need a buyer's agent to represent you... and since it won't cost you anything - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

A Buyer's Agent Represents the Buyer and Maintains Loyalty to the Buyer to:

  • Protect the Buyer's best interest and negotiating position--The seller's agent is working for the seller
  • Give advice and not just information--The seller's agent will give you information
  • Answer all your questions without reservation--you will know everything they know
