I’m not certain that I want to work with an agent; why should I?

Your home will probably be the most expensive purchase you will ever make and embarking on this process without being represented by a licensed, knowledgeable real estate professional is risky. The process is complicated and you need someone on your side who is looking out for you, and only you.

• A seasoned, professional agent has been through the process many times. They have information and expertise that a typical home buyer does not have:
  • Through access to the MLS and their professional networks, they have information about local market conditions and real estate transactions that is not publicly available. This will inform any offers you decide to make.
  • They are extremely familiar with the standard Purchase Agreement and know how to negotiate terms that will protect you in case something goes wrong;
  • They are familiar with other parties who might be involved in the transaction including closing attorneys, inspectors and insurance providers. They’ll help you select reputable, experienced pros and will guide you in deciding which inspections you should require.
• A buyer’s agent does not represent the seller in any way. Your interests are their primary concern.
• The seller pays the buyer’s agent’s commission, so there’s no cost to you. And, if you use CapCenter, we will actually refund a portion of our commission to you as a Realty Refund.
