Exclusive Buyer Agent Services

House Hunters is on HGTV again. I keep waiting for them to try to discover SOMETHING that is not evident about the condition. Most Realtors though are pretty passive. They are not proactive in helping the buyers they are taking to the houses. Many Realtors are no more than a tour guide. I always wonder when I watch this why they never mention a home inspection or negotiating for repairs with the seller. Most buyers with a typical agent are on their own there. Especially if the agent's company listed the home.

Now they have a listing agent there telling the seller how to "stage" their home. (Google "home staging"). Everyone should make their home look it best but sometimes 'staging' is used to draw attention away from defects. An exclusive buyers agent can be objective and look past the staging. A buyer should try to visualize their furnishings in the home. The other side is the agent may be able to help them see possibilities in a home that is not staged. Look past the staging - but also look past the unstaged (there might be a deal there).
