I asked the buyer if they were working with a Realtor. She said “no, we always call the listing agents. That’s what my family does.” What? Why? How?

This buyer is missing out on critical information that a good buyer’s agent would provide. When time is short and the market is moving fast, a buyer does not have time to waste calling listing agents.

It has long been a myth that calling the listing agent direct will net a buyer a discount on the commission. I am here to dispel that myth right here and now! The seller of the home has already agreed to pay a total commission of X%. The listing agent is nt going to give you, the buyer part of his paycheck just because.

The listing agent is also working for, you guessed it, the seller! They will not represent you in the transaction. Think about it–this is maybe the biggest investment that a buyer will make in their life. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to have some help and representation in the transaction? The seller’s agent is to get the best terms, price and conditions for THEIR client–the seller, not you as the buyer.

The buyer that called me today is wasting their time! Savvy buyers know to interview a good professional realtor in Colorado Springs. Don’t waste valuable time. Call or contact me now for information on how you can buy a home in today’s market without wasting time and money calling on homes that have already sold!
