Long Island NY Buyers - Why Are You Doing Your Agent's Job?
When you hire a Long Island NY agent to help you find a home, they are supposed to help you, not have you do their job.
I received a call from a very nice buyer on one of my listings. I asked who their agent is. Their agent is a family member. The buyer had said "I feel bad for my agent because they live 45 minutes away". And?
When you sign the Buyer Brokerage Agreement, your agent has to call my office or myself to make the appointment. You pay your agent to search for homes, make appointments, submit and negotiate offers, accompany you to the home inspection, troubleshoot any problems along the way and finally, go with you to the closing.
I explained these points to the buyer. I also won't put myself in a situation with a represented buyer. What if I say something without realizing it and is misconstrued for something else? And something tells me the agent is not a member of our MLS since it makes no sense as to why the buyer's agent hasn't called my office to make an appointment.
If a buyer has to to the job of a real estate agent, then why hire one?
