Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people will ever make. But with the recent changes to how real estate commissions work, some buyers are asking, “Should I go it alone?” and wondering if the potential for saving money on commission is worth the risk. In this video, I take a dive deep into the DIY home buying approach and compare it to using a buyer’s agent—especially under the new commission rules. Is it still worth it to have an agent on your side, guiding you through the transaction from start to finish? Will you, as a buyer, have to pay your agent? What is the value of a buyer’s Realtor ? I tackle these questions and more!
