What does a real estate agent do when working with buyers?
A real estate agent who helps clients buy a property is sometimes called a buyer’s agent or selling agent.
Buyers will often turn to real estate agents when they’re in the market to buy a property, such as a home or a new office space. Because real estate agents typically know the ins and outs of the real-estate market, they can use their expertise to match the buyer with a property best suited for their needs and wants.
Here are some of the key roles and responsibilities of a real estate agent when working with buyers:
Coordinate and oversee open houses
Arrange meetings with prospective buyers
Interview buyers to understand what they’re looking for in a new property
Schedule property showings
Coordinate appraisals and inspections
Negotiate property repair requests and offers on behalf of the buyer
