Buying with your own agent: what are the benefits?

The seller’s agent
- Guides the seller
- Shows their own listings and sometimes those of colleagues
- Works to the seller’s wishes: timing, terms and price
- Often a different agent for every property
Your own agent when buying
- Works for the buyer
- Searches the whole market, including off-portal properties
- Goal: the right home at a realistic price
- One point of contact for everything
What does an agent cost when buying?
For buyers, in principle free of charge.
In most cases, the seller’s agent shares their commission with the buying agent. As a buyer, you then pay nothing.
Occasionally it works differently. If so, we always discuss it in advance, so nobody faces any surprises.
