Manage episode 485553707 series 1468316
Is a Buyer’s Agent worth it… or just another expense?
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood roles in the property game: The Buyer’s Agent.
Following the cautionary tale from Jayson in episode 545, we’re diving deep into:
✅ What a buyer’s agent actually does (and what they shouldn’t be doing)
✅ Who needs one — and who probably doesn’t
✅ How to tell if your buyer’s agent is working in your best interest
✅ The red flags to avoid (like hidden commissions, rookie mistakes, and slick sales tactics)
✅ And the 8-step process great BAs use to deliver results
Whether you're an overwhelmed first-time buyer, a busy professional, or just wondering if a buyer’s agent is worth the fee, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and the right questions to ask. Tune in now!
