You might think that you can save money by going with the listing agent. But this is NOT TRUE. No matter whether the transaction involves one or two agents, they all get paid by the Seller and the total fees to be paid by the Seller are PRESET before the listing goes live into the MLS system. So the fees will either go to the sole agent involved or be shared between both agents. Now you can see why the listing agent would like to earn double fees by taking the Buyer the same time. It is NOT in your best interest.
You as the Buyer should ALWAYS have your own representation and get your own agent! Period.
The most important reason for you to have your own Buyer's Agent is that the Buyer's Agent represents ONLY the Buyer's Interest, while the Listing Agent ONLY represents the Seller's interest. The Buyer's Agent doesn't cost you a penny but looks out solely for your best interest and negotiate on YOUR behalf not the Seller's. By contrast, the Listing Agent has sole LEGAL responsibilities for the Seller and always tries to maximize the Seller's benefits.
So make the right decision now and use me as your Buyer's Agent working only for YOU!
