Should I hire a buyer’s agent?
Peter Lorimer of PLG Estates shares the questions you should ask yourself before hiring a buyer’s agent and tips for doing so.
You’ve got a bunch of clients, you’ve closed a bunch of deals, you’re working from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and you’re constantly pleading with the universe for more time. Ask yourself these questions:
Is time a factor? If you don’t have enough time, a buyer’s agent can certainly help. Are you being lazy? If it’s about wanting to do other things rather than handling more business, maybe you shouldn’t hire a buyer’s agent because, like my mother says: “nobody watches the pot like yourself.” No one will watch your business like you will. If your business is growing and you hand it off, it could crash and burn.Hiring a buyer’s agent can give you some of your life back when you’re extremely busy, but remember: You get what you pay for.
If you pay peanuts, you’re going to get monkeys; if you pay your buyer’s agent well and make it a nice work atmosphere, everyone wins.
Be super picky throughout the hiring process, go with your gut and choose the best person for the job.
