Why you need a buyer’s agent during your home buying process in Minnesota?During tough economic times like this it is becoming increasingly important for home buyers in Minnesota to have a buyer’s agent in their corner. A major challenge that is adding complexity to the Minnesota home buying process is when you have a real estate agent who is representing both the seller and the buyer called dual agency. This often occurs when a prospective buyer finds a home listed on the Internet and contacts the selling agent directly. Since there are laws that require real estate agents to protect their client’s interest, the duty of the selling agent is with the seller, not the buyer. As a result, the sales contract may not favor the buyer. As people go online and educate themselves about buying a house they realize that they need someone to represent them.
