Homebuyers Losing Thousands By Calling Wrong Real Estate Agents

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Buying a dream home can be a difficult job. Finding the property can be hard enough but It’s only once you’ve picked the place you want to buy, that the difficulties really begin. Many People make a mistake with their very first move: they call the real estate listed on the For Sale sign. That mistake can add thousands of dollars to the final purchase price.

“What many people don’t realize is that the agent listed on that sign is the seller’s agent,”explains Jenny Zamora, who has been a real estate agent for seven years. “That agent is legally obligated To get the best price for the seller. Calling that agent to get the ball rolling is like someone in a Police station calling the prosecutor for legal representation.”

Nonetheless, every year, thousands of people call the listing agent directly and expect that agent to act as an honest broker between the buyer and seller. Then they end up paying top dollar the property. On top of that, the listing agent makes double commission!

The best thing someone can do when they see a property they like, advises Zamora, is to call their Own real estate agent. The buyer’s agent knows exactly what’s involved in negotiating a contract And can knock thousands of dollars off the asking price by knowing the appropriate market price for the property.  

“At the very least, the buyer’s agent isn’t likely to tell the seller’s agent that the client is prepared to pay the asking price but if they could bring them down that would be great!” Says Zamora.
