Question by atl_ace1: What is the benefit of using a buyers agent when you can simply find houses for sale online now?
There are tons of websites that list properties for sale within your parameters (price, location, schools, appraisal value, property tax, etc.). So given that I can go online, find a house, request a viewing, then make a bid by myself…why do I need a buyer’s agent?

I guess going without is fine if you’re comfortable writing all the legal documents of the offer and contract by yourself.
