Of course buyers can be idiots – I never said otherwise. The topic is buyer’s agents. In my opinion, a buyer’s agent trying to “sell” a house to someone would usually find that it backfires. The buyers may or may not be idiots, but they generally know what they want and don’t want, and you’d have to be pretty stupid to have someone manipulate you into “wanting” a house.

Or maybe I just have more faith in humanity than I should.

[quote=patb]i think buyers agents are there to work on your emotions.

Sure if you don’t know a neighborhood they help but
if you do know it, the buyers agent only gets paid if you buy so they seek to work your emotions[/quote]

I don’t think that’s true. Houses aren’t like used cars – people can’t be talked into buying a house they don’t want. Any reasonably intelligent person can see manipulation a mile away. The buyer’s agent is there to let them into houses, do the paperwork for offers, and give advice when asked. As a buyer, I turned my back on any realtor who tried to do more, or give me any kind of pitch, but luckily there weren’t many of them.

We started out thinking we wanted to just use the listing agents, but with the sheer number of properties we would be looking at, we quickly discovered how much additional time is involved when you don’t have a buyer’s agent. We picked one we liked at a random open house, and even though he was new and made a few mistakes, he was a HUGE help and earned his commission.
