A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.</div>

Joel is amazing at what he can do to help you either sell or buy a place. I was so impressed by both him and Monica. They were a joy to work with and really worked hard to help me find a place even with my very specific wants. LOVE THEM!

Dave was great. He helped us find an awesome house that we love. He didn't try and push us into a house that we didn't like. We probably saw about twenty houses with him before we chose. I would use him again. I feel that he was honest and really tried to help us. I would recommend him to anyone...

Amazingly well. Working with David lowered my blood pressure during these transactions and gave me a trusted agent through difficult negotiations. I didn't think much of the skills needed to be a good real estate agent until I worked with David. Determining a sales price, timing of listings,...

My overall experience was fantastic. Dave spent many weekends over about a 3 month period showing me homes all day that he had spent the time and effort to filter down so that all of them met the criteria for what I was looking for in a home. As a first time buyer, I'm sure it was frustrating at...

Real estate services FAQs

Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.

Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:

How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
