27 Richmond, VT Property Agents

What does an agent or broker in Richmond, VT do?

Although the terms'agent' and'broker' often are used interchangeably, they’re not the same thing. Generally, a broker must have more specialised education as well as licensing, and as a result is legally authorised to execute a real estate transaction. Brokers usually play a more administrative role in the real estate process. An agent, by contrast, is a salesperson hired by a broker to interact with and handle the legwork for the clients.

A buyer’s agent represents a home buyer or seller in a real estate transaction. A buyer’s agent will find Richmond, VT property listings that match your needs, works with the seller’s agent to schedule showings and accompanies you on visits to tour the home. If you’re interested in the house, the agent handles price negotiations and other terms of the sale, and coordinates the appropriate paperwork.
