If you’re looking to buy a house, Zillow is great for browsing and seeing what is out there. But make sure to contact an actual real estate agent before looking at a house in person. While you may be a savvy buyer, seeing a ‘listed’ house without an agent that represents YOU can actually cause a number of problems and take away much of your leverage as a buyer.
The Rivers Edge Team does not charge a fee to home buyers; we are compensated from the seller’s proceeds once a transaction is complete. If you purchase a house without a licensed Realtor like Nick or Ross representing you, the listing agent will simply keep the cut that otherwise would have gone to your real estate agent.
This means that you did not save a penny by going directly to them–in fact, you likely paid more than you needed to. No matter how much research you’ve done, an agent like Nick or Ross has access to various reports and databases that are broader and more recent than what you’ll find on Trulia, Zillow, or even county property record websites.
But before we can show you any homes, we needs to know what you want. Fill out this brief form and we’ll get back to you in a jiffy–usually in an hour or two!
