Can I Buy Through the Listing Agent? ??
Thinking about buying a home and wondering, 'Should I work with the listing agent?' Let’s break it down in less than 60 seconds! ??
The listing agent represents the seller—so their primary duty is to get the best deal for the seller. That’s their job! If you choose to work with them, it’s called ‘dual agency,’ and they’ll try to balance both sides, but it’s tricky.
Here’s the thing—you can buy through the listing agent, but ask yourself: do you want someone negotiating for both you and the seller? ??♂?
It’s usually a good idea to have your own agent—someone fully in your corner, fighting for your best interests.
So, yes, you can work with the listing agent, but having your own buyer’s agent might get you a better deal. ??
