When deciding to divulge into the real estate marketplace the first and most crucial step is to find the right agent – A Buyer’s Agent. There are 3 different types of agents available; the Buyer’s Agent, the Seller’s Agent and the Dual Agent.

The ‘right’ real estate agent for you is not the one who holds the listing you are interested in as they have a legal responsibility to the seller of that property. As a buyer your first priority is to find a “Buyer’s Agent” that will represent you and has the legal responsibility of looking out for you and your best interests.

An exclusive Buyer Agent will assist you with the planning, locating and evaluating each property. As well they will help you with negotiating price and terms, financing, inspections and more. When looking for an agent; insist on undivided loyalty and the protection of your interests. Whether you are a first time home buyer, an old pro looking for real estate for sale by owner, or a buyer looking for a second home or investment property here in the Teton County area, you owe it to yourself to see how a true Buyer Agent can be the best answer to the complexities of real estate transactions.

To best describe a proper Buyer’s Agent you need to look at their responsibilities and duties to the buyer as an agent. The buyer’s agent represents the BUYER in home search and sales transactions. Their loyalties are 100% to the buyer and they owe the buyer to perform with the utmost good faith, and will not disclose any confidential information about the buyer to the seller’s agent or the seller. Another bonus of the Buyer’s Agent is that the seller will pay the commission to your Buyer’s Agent for all the properties that are listed in Teton County & Jackson Hole MLS.

One thing to also look out for is the similar duty of disclosure between the seller and the Seller’s Agent. To give an example of something that could potentially hurt your chances at getting the best deal pretend you are looking at Real Estate to Purchase in Jackson Hole and the Seller’s Agent is present. If you happen to bring up in conversation any information regarding the price you would be willing to pay this information WILL be shared to the seller by the Seller’s Agent and it could potentially hurt your ability to negotiate the terms of the price and deal.
