As with most homes, the sellers will typically still pay your buyer\u2019s agent out of proceeds from the settlement, and you\u2019ll be represented by your agent as usual. He or she will still take care of all negotiations, inspections, paperwork and coordinate the settlement process.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, there will be some negotiation between the buyer and seller regarding who is responsible for paying for your buyer\u2019s agent. Be sure to carefully read the buyer\u2019s agency contract, which is the agreement that you have with your agent in regards to fees and payment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.everyhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/buyer_and_agent.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5264\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5264 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.everyhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/buyer_and_agent-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"FSBO\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everyhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/buyer_and_agent-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.everyhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/buyer_and_agent.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, you find a FSBO that you\u2019ve arranged to purchase and you\u2019re <em>not<\/em> working with a buyer\u2019s agent, you can use a real estate professional to simply handle all of the paperwork for you and arrange a settlement. In this case, the real estate professional typically does not take care of showings or negotiations \u2013 instead, their role is primarily to handle all paperwork. This is typically arranged for a set price, and much lower than a typical commission fee.<\/p>\n<p>EveryHome is happy to provide these services for you.
