McLean Real Estate - Buyer Information

Finding the right home and navigating through the mechanics of the real estate transaction are not easy. If you have a tax question, or need legal advice, you seek a professional. When it comes to finding the right house for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and making sure the transaction goes smoothly, you need your real estate professional that keeps your interests first.

If you purchase a home through an Open House or call on the sign in front of the home that you are dealing with the agent of the seller. By state law, that agent owes a responsibility to the seller to represent the seller's best interests in the negotiating of any offer. The goal of the Seller is obviously to sell the home at the highest possible price. The goal of a buyer is to buy a home at the lowest possible price with the most favorable terms. Hence, if you are buying, you need an agent representing your interests.
