Buying A Home – Housing may be the biggest purchase in your life, so if you find the ideal property
but it is a “owner for sale” (FSBO), what will happen? To avoid accidents, headaches and additional costs, it is recommended to always work with the buyer’s agent; just because the seller chooses to do it alone does not mean you have to do it! The buyer’s agent will represent your best interest in this process and ensure that you know the products you want to buy without being surprised. Before quoting an FSBO house, the following important things need to be considered when Buying a Home.
Who Pays the Commission?
When you buy a house listed by a real estate agent, as a buyer, you do not need to pay the buyer’s agent’s commission (which is borne by the seller), but this may not be the case when buying FSBO property. FSBO sellers will often agree to pay your real estate agent’s commission, but if you do not pay, it is entirely up to you. The good news is that you will reach an agreement on this before quoting, so you won’t be surprised. Please also keep in mind that if you choose to buy a house without a real estate agent, this will add extra work to the real estate lawyer (verification of contracts, offers, etc.), which may significantly increase your legal costs. If you choose to work with a buyer’s agent and have to pay a commission, you must at least determine the price.
Disclosure
You need to remember that FSBO sellers are not subject to the same rules as real estate agents. They do not need to notify you of other offers, they can disclose the details of other customer offers to other interested parties, and most importantly, they may not disclose all known facts about the house. These can all pose major challenges in the purchase process, but real estate agents can help you deal with these challenges and discover “red flags.” After moving in, you don’t want to be surprised, the buyer’s agent can help you ensure that you make the right enquiries about the property.

Negotiating
You hope someone around you knows the skills of negotiation! It is very likely that you have never personally negotiated the sale and purchase of a house in the past, and the real estate agent has been buying and selling. Your buyer’s agent will be able to advise on this process and ensure that all the correct forms are filled in during the quotation process.
Should you consider a FSBO?
It will definitely be easier to buy a house listed with a real estate agent, but if the house you have been looking for is an FSBO, you should not ignore it for this reason; just find a real estate agent to help you with the purchase , To ensure that the purchase process is smooth and without any surprises.
