The homebuying process is not to be taken lightly.
It's a huge decision and you cannot put that responsibility in the hands of an inexperienced or part-time agent. Please do yourself a huge favor and find a kick-ass experienced agent. He or she will guide you through the process, handle all of the paperwork, and negotiate a great deal for you.
And the best part is, that hiring a top shelf agent to represent your needs will cost you nothing! That's right, the real estate commission is paid for by the seller. So you have to make the right decision and hire an agent that know exactly what they're doing.
