There are many important components to purchasing property, whether it's your first, or fifth time. Choosing the right Realtor is probably the single most important step - but there are many others.


As a buyer in real estate you don't pay a real estate commission directly to your agent, this is typically taken care of by the seller out of his proceeds at the closing. But in the long run a REALTOR® with experience and many closed transactions will cost you much less than someone who is inexperienced or unknowledgeable! A top producer's business is built on repeat clientele and referrals because they have proven they know how to select a great home for their buyers and negotiate the best price and terms. Your agent is not your best friend, your agent is your financial advisor for what may be the largest single transaction in your life!
