Q: Why would I need a buyers advocate, if I have engaged a real estate agent to deal with my property transaction?

If the local Real Estate Agent is selling your existing property and says he will be your Agent to buy, will he dedicate himself to the task of buying or selling?? Where is his commission coming from? The sale, unless you have agreed to pay another fee. Usually Agents say they will help you buy for no additional fee. So what will he do first? He will concentrate on the sale because that is his bread and butter[literally]. If he does not buy, what has he lost. Agents will always chase a fee. And why not?

Imagine ,you are keenly seeking to buy a property and you engage someone who might not earn a fee. It is common sense that if you pay a fee you get performance which greatly increases your chances of success.

At Pitard Group our team of buyers agents is paid on success.

Q: What does a buyers advocate do - what the real estate agent doesn't already do for me?

The main objective of a Real Estate Agent is to list and sell property.It is really the only objective. Get the Authority to Sell signed, put up a board up, advertise and go through the SALE process. An Agents knowledge is generally limited to the the area surrounding his office. They always push their own listings first which limits opportunities for the Buyer. It is impossible to wear two hats and do a proper job.

The buyers advocate on the other hand has a greater depth of knowledge of the entire market because day in day out they research,identify and inspect properties for BUYERS. Therefore Buyers Agents have a broader understanding of the overall market .

Q: Why would I need a buyers advocate or buyers agent ?

Apart from the particular skills of a Buyers Advocate in locating a suitable property other expertise exclusive to a buyers agent is put to your advantage.
