If you're thinking about buying a home, ask yourself the following three questions: Do you have an internet connection? Do you have at least a seventh-grade reading level? Do you like saving money? If you answer yes to all three, you're in fantastic shape to be your own agent.
Key Details
- For many years, even though sites like Realtor.com existed, buyers were at the mercy of agents to know what was for sale.
- Homebuying is "not rocket science." But the real-estate industry has made it hard for many buyers to understand just how little having an agent can help.
- The class-action settlement with the NAR is going to make it a lot harder for sellers to be forced to pay for buyers' agents.
