yow: The Jean Richer Show - Why should I work with a buyer agent? - 04/27/22 08:51 AM

Using a buyer agent will produce greater outcome when buying a home. The benefits of using a buyer agent over a listing agent is they have your best interest. Buyer agents have knowledge of what you like and what you want and know the listings available in your preferred areas. The listing agent represents the interest of the seller, and won't understand what you're looking for as well as your hired buyer agent.  Watch my video to hear more reasons why a buyer agent will benefit your home buying experience!
