“Let’s go to the mall.  I need a new casserole dish.”

“Let’s go look at some new cars.  The new models are coming out.”

“Let’s go visit the boat marina.  I’ve got my eye on a new Bass Boat.”

“Let’s go to the grocery store.  We are almost out of apples and cereal.”

“Let’s go look at some homes today.  I’ve got some Open House listings.”

Hey, what’s the difference?  Shopping for pots and pans, apples, shopping for a boat, shopping for a home??? 

Shopping is shopping, isn’t it?? 

Why do we need an agent to shop for a home?  We have photos of the inside and outside.  We have a map showing the location.  We can compare the neighborhoods and schools.  We can see the prices for other homes in the are that have sold.  Maybe we’ll save some money.  A Buyers Agent will cost a lot of money, won’t it?

Shopping is shopping, isn’t it?  Mom and Dad bought their home.  We can get some advice from them.

Owners sell their homes without an agent all the time, don’t they?  We should be able to buy a home without an agent.  Maybe we’ll save some money. 

How hard can it be to buy a home?  If we find a home we like, we can just let the listing agent do the paperwork.  After all, they have to be fair, don’t they.  I’m sure they’ll let us know if the price is good.  We’ll look carefully when we see a house and if something is wrong, I’m sure we’ll notice.  How hard can it be?? 

Shopping is shopping, isn’t it?
