Buyer’s corner

Common (valid) concerns
1. Why not just go from open house to open house to find a place?
- Only 3% to 5% of listings hold open houses. So you will miss out on majority of the hot listings.

2. Why not buy directly from the listing agent?
- That is one option. However, remember the listing agent is working for the seller. It is his duty to get as much money as possible. First of all, there is no guarantee that the buyer commisison will be discounted for you since you will not be speaking with the sellers directly. Secondly, the contract will most likely have clauses that favour the sellers.

3. I will just call listing agents from each property to show me their listing.
- You can do that. But it can be a bit of a hassle to speak with so many agents and work with their schedules to time everything accordingly. Also, there is a good chance those agents will try to find out if they pick you up as their clients.

4. I don’t want to work with one agent and get stuck in a contract.
- It’s true some agents will want you to sign a contract so you work exclusively with them. We don’t do that. We don’t make you sign any contract.

We realize that buyers just want to see houses and buy one. THAT’S IT. Most buyers don’t really care about the inner workings on the real estate business.
