I am buying a house should I call a realtor?

As a licenced realtor, I understand that in today's computer environment that everyone has access to all of the real estate listings for free! So why would I call a realtor?? Two reasons come to mind. First, you can access all of the data on the free services but it is a good buyers representative (agent) that will be able to interpret your results. In other words how would you feel if you purchased a home without the use of a buyers agent and then found out after you moved in, that you over paid big time. That "FOR SALE BY OWNER" seemed like such a good deal and you had a big down payment, and even offered thousands less! It happens. Why give up the benefit and experience of a buyers agent to represent you. Best of all your buyers agent will do a price study for your protection and with your permission, collect the fee for his/her services to you FROM THE SELLER. You heard it right, the seller will pay for you to get representation from a buyers agent. So for free you can get your data interpreted, a price study done to protect you from over paying or over looking something, and walk you through the entire home buying process from home inspection to closing. Most important a good buyers agent knows how to protect your deposit money and draft an offer that covers all the bases for you. For sale by owners or MLS listings can always include your permission to collect the agents fee from the seller if you ask your agent to put it in writing for you.
