Opt for an exclusive buyer's Agent when navigating the St. George, Utah real estate market. In the conventional home-selling process, sellers enlist a "listing agent" to market their home and negotiate offers in their favor. When you're on the buying side, it's crucial to have someone dedicated to safeguarding your interests and securing the best possible price for you – the buyer.
The most advantageous aspect of having a buyer's Agent is that buyers don't incur the buyer's agent commission. The payment structure for a buyer's Agent is established in the listing agreement when a seller lists their home for sale. The seller allocates funds to compensate both the listing agent and the buyer's Agent from the sale proceeds. Despite the seller handling the agent fees, your exclusive buyer's Agent remains committed to representing your best interests and strives to secure the most favorable deal for you as the buyer.
Dual Agency occurs when the same listing agent represents the buyer and the seller in a single transaction. It involves walking a fine line, as the Agent cannot provide optimal services to both parties. For instance, if a buyer seeks advice on making an offer, the listing agent cannot disclose that the seller is willing to accept less. Similarly, the Agent cannot inform the seller that the buyer is willing to pay a higher price. In a dual-agency scenario, the Agent is required to remain completely neutral.
You might wonder, "Do I need a buyer's agent?" Consider this: If you were going through a divorce, would you want to hire the same attorney your spouse is using? The conflict of interest in such a scenario is notably high, and interestingly, real estate is one of the few professions where this conflict is legally permissible. Opting for a different agent ensures dedicated representation and the best possible deal, as they can advocate fiercely on your behalf without any conflicting interests. I wrote an article several years ago regarding "buying direct from the listing agent."
