[ Ссылка ] - Emily Cressey, Real Estate Broker in Seattle, WA with HomeSmart
If you are thinking about buying a home in Seattle, WA, there is a lot to consider. I am a real estate broker here in the Seattle, Bellevue, Everett area of North Seattle, and I have put together this video series to help new buyers understand some important things to consider.
Here's What We Will Discuss
Home Buyer Tip 3/6: The Risks Of Dual Agency & Why You Need A Buyer's Agent (vs Seller's Agent)
When buyers transition from shopping for property online (at Zillow, Realtor, Houses.com, Trulia etc.) and are ready to start looking at property in real life, they must transition to using a real estate agent to help them.
But who will they use?
If you just call the name of the real estate agent whose name is on the yard sign, you'll be talking to the SELLER's AGENT who has a fiduciary responsibility to represent the SELLER. He's not representing YOU.
If he does try to represent both the buyer and the seller, it's called dual agency. Dual agency IS allowed in Washington state (with disclosure and permission) but in some states it's not allowed due to it creating a conflict of interest!
Generally, most buyers find it of greater benefit to call in their own agent to represent their needs and their interests. Together, we can put together an offer that's appealing to the seller and strong enough to get accepted, but not one that leaves you exposed and at risk of overpaying or losing your earnest money.

About Emily Cressey and HomePro Associates:
Emily Cressey and the team at HomePro Associates love helping new home buyers in the Seattle area find and identify their next home to purchase.
Many buyers enjoy the fun early stages of shopping for a home online, only to become discouraged by the higher cost of housing in the Seattle market and the competitive marketplace in which homes are snapped up quickly.
Looking at homes for sale in Seattle with a real estate agent or broker like Emily Cressey is a great way to see what types of homes are available for sale and what it’s going to take to get into one as a buyer. Some buyers lose several deals before they get aggressive enough to really make sure they win in a competitive offer situation.
Of course, as your agent, I want to protect your pocketbook as well as de-risk your purchase offer as much as possible. There are many ways we can modify our real estate agreements to make sure you are protected as the buyer, but your offer is still appealing to the seller.
As an 18-year veteran of the real estate industry (I was an investor first!), I know the importance of feeling that you’re getting a good deal and making a wise financial decision.
I look forward to guiding you on this exciting journey.
