7 Reasons to Use a Buyer’s Agent (Even If You’re Just Looking)

What a Buyer’s Agent Really Does (And Why It’s Free)

📍 Introduction

Thinking of buying a home but not ready to “get serious” yet? That’s exactly when it helps to have a buyer’s agent on your side — not to push you, but to guide you.

In California, working with a buyer’s agent costs you nothing (the seller pays the commission), and it gives you someone on your side from day one.

1. It’s Free to You

That’s right — the seller pays both their agent and yours. You get professional representation and advice at no cost.
