Real Estate Myth- I'll Save Money If I Don't Use A Buyer's Agent

Wrong - Many buyers think they can strike a deal with the seller by coming in without representation. This is an unwise assumption. The seller has already negotiated a fee with the listing agent and his/her brokerage. If the listing agent is going to have to handle both sides of the transaction, he/she is going to end up having to please two parties with opposing views on every aspect of the transaction. In North and South Carolina, this is called Dual Agency. Dual Agency is certainly possible and the agent ensures the success of the transaction by acting honestly and ethically on behalf of both sides. The reality is that the listing agent is going to end up working more than twice as hard. Would you take on twice the responsibility for reduction in pay?

It is common knowledge that for a home seller, the document he probably considers the most important and simply can't wait to receive is a buyer's offer to purchase notice. And why not?
