Published by NestEdge Realty. This is a practical guide, not an independent agent ranking or a guarantee of results.
Buyer representation works best when expectations are explicit. Ask the agent to describe the work they would provide for your search and put the agreed terms in writing.
Define search and showing support
Discuss your locations, budget and essential property needs. Ask who schedules and attends tours, how new information will be shared and who provides coverage. Do not assume access to unlisted homes or immediate availability.
Clarify decision support
Ask how the agent explains comparable sales, gathers property information and helps coordinate questions with your attorney, inspector and lender. Identify the matters that require those specialists rather than treating the agent as a substitute for them.
Review obligations before signing
Discuss the agreement’s duration, scope, compensation, possible buyer payment and how the relationship can end. NAR’s buyer agreement guide explains negotiable terms. Ask for an explanation of anything you do not understand.
Use our Westchester home-buying guide to place those services in the wider purchase process.
Discuss your plans
Contact Matthew Gluck to discuss your property and the services, communication and fees that would apply to your situation.
