It only makes sense that if the seller has their home listed with an agent who is obligated to represent their needs, the buyer ought to have a representative of their own too. The listing agent may speak with you, the buyer, about the home.....but their legal duty is to the seller. Virginia is one of many states which recognize "Buyer Agency." When you choose us as your Buyer Agent, our responsibility is to represent your buying needs. There is no additional fee to have a Buyer's Agent. We will represent you by protecting your needs and preferences. From providing transaction information and negotiating your best price, to assisting you with the array of inspections and deadlines that comprise the buying process .... it's the Buyer's Agents job to make sure your buying experience is smooth, understandable and most importantly, that you don't "overpay" for the property. Remember, the listing agent's job is to get the best price, and terms for his or her client, the seller.
