WHY DO YOU NEED A BUYER AGENT TO REPRESENT YOU?

A buyer needs someone that will try to get the best value for him. Traditionally, a subagent could only be fair to the buyer. The buyer was never told if the house was priced well, nor was anything but material defects pointed out.
When a buyer is under contract, he will receive not only better quality service, but also the agents fiduciary belongs to the buyer, not the seller. Subagents always work on behalf of the seller.
The buyer agent will assure that the purchase agreement is written to protect your interests.
A buyer's agent will negotiate on your behalf. Traditionally, the subagent didn't do much negotiating, as he worked for the seller.
A buyer agent will assist you in choosing a lender, home inspector, attorney, and homeowners insurance.
Since you will be under contract, the buyer agent will work to find you what you want. Subagents never know if a buyer will buy from them, so they try to sell you on any house.
A buyer agent will prepare a market study of the area in which the house you like is located. This will enable you to make a better decision on what price to offer.
A buyer agent can't racially, mentally, or physically discriminate, however, they can tell you which areas are experiencing the greatest growth. This will help you if you are only planning on staying in the house a short time.
A buyer agent will take a more active role in the whole process, not just the sale.
