Is it beneficial to use a real estate agent when buying a home from a home builder?

Friday, 16. April 2010

A real estate agent told me he could help negotiate the price and get us the better deal on a newly built home. The real estate agents at the builders location says they can get me a better deal if I don’t have a realtor. Who is blowing smoke? Do I actually get a better price if I go with a realtor or without?

Is it beneficial to have a real estate agent when buying a foreclosed upon home?

Thursday, 15. April 2010

We are just beginning the home buying process. We have no home to sell (first time buyers) and were thinking of getting a real estate agent. However, I know we would have to sign one of those exclusivity contracts and, if we buy a foreclosed upon home, their comission would have to come from somewhere (us?).

If we are even considering buying a foreclosure, should we sign up with a real estate agent?
