Many buyers mistakenly believe that they are better able to negotiate a real estate purchase going solo without an agent. Most of the time, however, this just is not at all true. In reality, the opposite is true. Most home buyers who have tried going solo regret it. In fact, studies illustrate that using a buyer's agent can be beneficial to the bottom line when it comes to your Portland real estate deal.
It's a bonus that you are not required to pay the agent's commissions up front -- his commission comes out of the seller's proceeds and was no doubt calculated into the price of the home. But the biggest benefit is that your agent may be able to save you a lot of money on the bottom line at the end of the day.
Contracting with an experienced professional on your side when you're entering into a contract where a lot of money changes hands is just good idea on its face. But add to that the potential bettering of your financial position as a result of the expert skills a real estate agent can bring to the table and it should be an easy decision. There are just too many ways to loose your hard-earned cash on a deal not to have someone who negotiates Portland real estate purchases on a daily basis to keep the information (and signatures) flowing smoothly.
