Real Estate Agent By HomeSites.Com - Since 1997! All about agents
Real estate agents are professionals who help in connecting the buyer to the seller. A lot of agents also do rentals wherein they connect tenants to landlords and even maintain the property on the behalf of the landlords. The agents work by linking together the two interested parties and charging a commission for their services. For sales, they charge commission only to the seller but for rentals (i.e. agent managed rentals) the commission is charged to both parties involved in the transaction. agents generally calculate their fee as a percentage of the selling price (in case of sales) and as part of the rent (for rentals). People, who want to sell/let their property, leave the details of their property with the agent (and in fact, even leave the keys of the house so that the

agent can arrange for viewings without them getting into any hassle). The other interested party (i.e. the buyer/tenant), gets access to this information by contacting the agent. That’s how the agents become a hub of information.
A lot of home seekers (including investors) use the services of agents not just for getting good deals but also getting them quick. Since agents are probably most familiar with the market situation in their region of operation, it makes sense to approach them to get an idea of the going rate for properties in that region. agents would generally know the prices of various properties of different types and at various locations in the region.
A property seller can possibly get a few thousands more for his/her property by using the advice received from a good agent. A good agent will also analyse the needs of a home buyer/tenant and provide suggestions on what kind of home could be available to them within their budget. So a good agent will not just throw a list of available properties to the buyer/ tenant but will actually discuss their needs and make a suggestion. This, in fact, works in the favour of agent in two ways. Firstly, if the agent is able to sell the house they get their commission and secondly, if they make the buyer happy too they earn a good reputation (and hence more business).
However, it is worth noting that agents work on seller’s behalf. So, beware if they are trying too hard to sell a property.
