Seller’s Agents vs. Buyer’s Agents: Understanding Their Roles in Real Estate

Buying or selling a New York City property is a task best left to the professionals. Managing negotiations, dealing with seemingly never-ending piles of paperwork, and all the other to-dos that go along with real estate transactions is a full-time job. Fortunately, there are buyer’s and seller’s agents out there who can help you navigate the rough waters of real estate!

Agatha Lubus works tirelessly as a buyer’s and seller’s agent serving clients in Queens. What exactly does that mean, and what are the differences between the two types of agents? Here is a quick guide to help you understand the services you will receive when you partner with Agatha.

Hiring a Seller’s Agent: What To Expect

As the name suggests, a seller’s agent works on behalf of the seller to sell their property, hopefully quickly and for a fair price! Here is a list of things that your seller’s agent will do for you:
Conduct a comparative market analysis to guide property pricing
Market your property online, in printed publications, and by word of mouth
Arrange showings and open houses to introduce your property to serious buyers
Negotiate with the buyer and their agent on your behalf
Guide you through closing paperwork to reduce potential delays
A Buyer’s Agent’s Role

If you are searching for real estate in Queens, a buyer’s agent is an invaluable resource. Here are a few things that they will help you do:

Guide you through the mortgage pre-approval process
Help you find homes within your budget
Write offers that are fair to you yet enticing to the seller
Attend showings and property inspections with you
Assist with paperwork at closing
Selling Agent vs. Seller’s Agent: What is the Difference?

Many people think that seller’s agents and selling agents are the same, but they’re not! A seller’s agent, as we already mentioned, represents the seller in a real estate transaction. A selling agent represents the buyer! Sometimes you’ll hear the term “selling agent” used instead of “buyer’s agent” or “listing agent,” so listen carefully to understand who you’re working with!
