A buyer's agent will represent you directly. Though this may sound silly from a consumer's point of view, it protects you by requiring the Realtor to disclose everything to you and act in your best interest. Not in the best interest of the seller or even the broker. A good buyer's agent is well worth the protection.
A real estate agent is their to help a consumer find a home of their liking and guide them thru the tricky process of a home purchase...Keep in mind the more that's paid for a home, the more they make so make sure you are happy with the deal they work out for you...
A seller's agent can benefit the consumer who is selling their home. A seller's agent will list a family's home for sale, market the home on the MLS and through other marketing resources, show your home to potential buyers, provide tips and helpful information as to how to present your home in the best way to maximize your home's sales price, and handle the legal aspect of preparing a purchase agreement and handling the sale of your home. While many Americans try to sell their homes on their own to save the hefty charges that real estate agents charge, most are unsuccessful and end of utilizing the services of a Real Estate Agent to sell their home.
