You need to work with a buyer’s agent for a successful transaction. </span></div> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you were getting a divorce, would you go to your spouse’s attorney for advice and counsel? Of course not, that would be ridiculous!</span><br /> <span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The same principle applies if you’re a buyer looking for a home. </span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You shouldn’t take counsel and advice from the seller’s agent, who has a statutory duty to suck as much money out of your wallet as possible.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here's how you know the difference between the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent: you hire the buyer’s agent before you ever start going out and looking for homes. Consider everyone else your competition.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="quote-box"> <div class="quote-text"> A buyer’s agent will protect your best interests during the transaction. </div> </div> <span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To learn more about the home buying process, visit </span><a href="http://www.igotsmart.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">IGotSmart.com </span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif; line-height: 1.38; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and click on home buyer seminars.
